Mazda 323 (pre-1989)

This is a car that scared the hell out of me a few times. Now I didn't own this devilish car. It was my dads. So every now and then (when am in luck) I would get the go-ahead to drive her.

If the 20 year old car can be good, needless to say, the new and much-improved Mazda 323 is certainly unbeatable. I rate Mazda as one of the best car judging of its durability and performance.
