By THE GOAUTO TEAM

A minor round of trim revisions, new grille, redesigned tail-lights and bumpers, and a realigned model range kept the Mk2 323 fresh.

The four-speed manual gearbox disappeared except in the base Special, which now included a five-door hatch version, while the SS gained a sedan variant and a more powerful, twin-carburettor, 1.5L engine, producing 59kW.
