    How comparable is a 93 Mazda 323 hatchback with a Festiva?

  • #2
    Not very. I'd say overall it's a better car than a Festiva--1.6 motor, bigger brakes, more room, upgraded interior. It's kind of a low-end Protege hatchback.
    90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
    09 Kia Rondo--a Festy on steroids!

      Better than a Festiva?Now that is a bit sacrilegious isn't it?There is one close to me that i am curious about and i am pondering whether i want to pick it up or not.Does the 1.6 hold up like the b3.Is the 323 hard to find parts for?I haven't seen many around.

        I'd go for it. All those Mazda parts interchange.

          Yeah the 1.6 SOHC is just a better B3. I don't care for the Protege/323 rear end setup, but overall that's a small point.

          From the normal driver's (not a Festivite's) viewpoint, the progression from best to worst would be like this:
          Protege
          323
          Aspire
          Festiva
          Smart car
          Yugo
          Segway
          bicycle
          rollerblades
          feet
          In reality each has their good points over the others; it all depends on what kind of car you want.
