Hey guys,
Last winter my EK3 was written off after being rear ended by another car so I was looking for a new winter car. I have had a few japanese cars and so had my dad and neither of us has had any issues with them (which is not going to surprise any of us of course!) so I thought I might stick with japanese and I started looking for a nice wee Vitara which is a car my gf always wanted or perhaps scooby wagon... Well, I was rather unsuccessful, there were not many available around and those that were available were usually in terrible condition, overpriced or both. So after much searching I came across a completely different car that wasn't a 4x4 but ticked all other boxes - japanese, sporty looking, practical and not a sloth either - 2003 Mazda 323F 2.0 Sport. I just had to get 2 new tyres and there is a bit of rust on rear arches which does not bother me much - it is a work horse not a show car.
And it only cost me £900 which I thought was a fair price plus it is only insurance group 10 which is not bad either!
