Wow we never got that 323 in the States, but it sounds like a deal to me. Fewer Km's and more power for a straight up trade. Not to mention it's a Mazda!

i would. prolly a dumb question but why do you plug your cars in up there?

[Maxtiva]

Yes I know that we dont have those 323 in North-America but the guy import it to Québec so I should change my car against his car

Edit: yes it is for block heater

YEAH, block heater i think!

I'd personally prefer the civic ditch that d series fore a k24 and stroke it to a 2.6

Looks like an aspire!!!

The Mazda is very unique, especially since we don't have them in the states. The are both pretty reliable drivetrains too. With that said I guess I would go with the Mazda.

Get the Mazda, that thing is gorgeus compared to the MX-3 (which is the closest thing we have to a new 323 in the states) I love the way that looks...

No way. Get a K24 and throw in a K20 crank to reduce the displacement to just under 2.2L. Get some 6.25" conncecting rods, strap up the GT42R and 150 shot of bottle and hold on.....
