The Mazda 323 is part of the Familia subcompact/compact car line produced in Japan from the mid 70's to 2003. The designation 323 was given to export vehicles, the actual vehicle is known by several names, it's given a different badge depending on the region it's shipped to.

We're confident you'll enjoy the experience! 'Aftermarket' is a term used to describe parts that are not made by the factory. So for example, for your Mazda 323, if you buy parts for your car that are not actually made by Mazda, then those are termed 'aftermarket'. Many people use the term '323 aftermarket parts' specifically when referring to custom parts for the 323, like performance parts or custom appearance parts. But even if you just replace your 323 brake pads with OEM-grade factory-style brake pads that are not made by Mazda, those too are aftermarket 323 parts. Over the course of a vehicle's life, it almost certainly will have aftermarket parts installed in it at some point, even if the vehicle is never actually 'modded out'.

BY JONATHAN CROUCH IntroductionMazda spent most of the Eighties creating a range of adventurously styled cars that failed to sell well enough. The company went into the last recession in very poor health and had to be rescued by a Ford takeover.

Some say its range of late-Eighties cars were too striking for the market, but the handsome 323Fs certainly deserved far more than the limited success they have enjoyed.The 1989 323F is a classic example of a great car that never realised its potential. Only ever available in the UK with two engines and one body style, it was bought mainly as a second car. The importers tried to turn it into a GTi competitor with the introduction of the 1.8-litre GT in 1991, but buyers shunned this version in favour of the more sedately-performing 1.6-litre models. The replacement model was again a good-looker but seemed to have been unfairly overlooked by new car buyers. The latest, more conservatively styled models launched late in 1998 are also quite rare.ModelsModels Covered: 323F - 1989-1994 (1.6 Hatchback SE, Executive SE, GLX/ 1.8 Hatchback GT) 323F - 1994-Oct 1998: (1.5 Hatchback GL,GLX, LXi, GXi/ 1.8 Hatchback GLX, Exec/ 2.0 Hatchback GLX, ZXi) HistoryBrief, in a word. The 323 has been with us since the late Seventies, but until the late Eighties, it was always as a rather dull Japanese econo-box.

In 1989, all that changed with the launch of a curvy new 323, completed with pop-up headlamps.This version was to last on the UK market for five years. Trim levels were standard or SE and both used a 1.6-litre engine. ABS and auto transmission were extras. All cars have the same five-door hatchback body with its distinctive pop-up headlights. The SE has power steering and a sportier interior, while the SE Executive boasts a sunroof.Its 1994 replacement, of the same name, is also a five-door hatchback, though less desirable and harder to find; three and four-door cars also existed between 1997 and 1998.

Models vary from the base GL, through GLX, LXi, Executive and ZXi. Engines are a choice of 1.5, 1.8 or 2.0-litre capacity.

This last engine is unusual for being a V6 and delivers strong performance with a particularly smooth delivery.The new 323 range, introduced in October 1998, included only the five-door variant, in 1.3, 1.5 and 1.8-litre petrol forms, plus a 2.0-litre turbo diesel.
