hi all..
bellow is what in other countries may considered as a nostalgic wagon..
but here it's not that nostalgic...
the car was built on 1994..
called the vantrend here..
1400cc tc series engine..
5 speed manual RWD tranny..
electric power steering (standard equipment)
AirCon..

i am planning to do a straight trade of my 1985 swift with this wagon...
as soon as the wife gives me the green light.. :lol:

should i go for it??..

I'm not a Mazda guy, but it appears to me a continuation of the 323 body. Rear drive platform in a small wagon is a great combo. I say go for it.

yeah it is a 90's re-released version of the late 70's 323 family..
it's also available in the hatchback model..

yeah...
i am very keen on this car...
olskool look..olskool tech..but still made in the 90's (1994 - 1997) so i presume the car is pretty much still in good condition..
not too much rust on the body..

unfortunately this particular car is already booked by someone else..
so now i'm on a look out for another one of these...
while trying to convinced the wife to sell the swift.. :lol:

This car is interesting!
-the body is from the first 323 kombi
-the dash and the steeringwheelis from the 323 BG
-the headlights are from the US-version of the first 626 GC generation
-the grill and the frontbumper seem to be "new created"
-the sidemarkers are 80´s "standart" from several Mazdas

-Does anybody have more pics of it?

Oh, yes, I see... -I knew, that I had read about it somewhere, but didn´t know where...

Somehow I think this car is interesting. You can buy it and make with some modifications the original old 323 from it. :wink:
