All the stuff Mazda lists as features is standard on any car made in 1987. Its funny they try to make project that other brands don't have this stuff as standard.
These were excellent cars, unfairly overlooked in favor of a lot of the competition. I feel like Mazda's cars were designed with Europe in mind as much as the US, and with that in mind, it's easy to see why they were so plainly styled and somewhat sparsely equipped, despite having fuel injection earlier than their Japanese counterparts (also like European cars). Unlike the Michigan built Mazdas, the 323/Protege's reliability has always been top notch.
Hey I still have one. An '89, same color as the video. Mazda 323's took WRC 1st place in 3 years back then. Their 323 GTX's are no joke and beat the "big name" car companies out there. My 89 is reliable but is one of 4 cars I have. My 89 is a 5-speed and is fun to drive econo box which I would prefer over any other econo box from 1989. Long Live The Econobox!!!!!!
The one I liked of that generation 323 was the rare cabriolet version (generally available on the Japan market, and also available as a rebadged Ford Laser) - the thing being was that it was not a conversion, being built that way at the factory.
