Erratic idling ang #1 na problema namin. Ilan na ang tumingin pero walang nakaayos. Hindi pa namin pinatitignan ulit, katamad na kasi, sayang ang pera at effort. Demoted to short travels nalang siya. A/T nga pala yung samin, 1997 model kung tama ang tanda ko.

erratic idling (may number of causes) can be solved by our accredited shops. could be vacuum leak, dirty throttle body and other reasons pa.

the rust in the rear fender.

the "gulat na pusa" stance. kadiri sobra. ang taas

wag a/t ang kunin mo as it is a bit of a guzzler.

on the good side, it has a very torquey engine good handling (even as stock). very responsive. the interior is BIG compared to the competition during its time

maintenance is pretty much the same as any jap car na 10 years old. sakin 7 years old na. major parts ko pa lang napalitan are water pump, tensioner bearing, timing belt, and radiator hose if you call them major parts. hehe

meron na rin discussion about the familia sa car comparison forum.

stock 96-(some)99 323 Familia

maluwag ang interior sobra. matulin, maganda handling at maganda pa ang tunog ng makina. this is my personal favorite among circa 90s sedan along with the Sentra Series III.

kung talagang maalaga ka sa makina at magaan paa mo, you can get 8-10 km/l city and 11-13 km/l highway on a manual tranny. masaya idrive ang familia. lakas ng hatak and maganda handling. medyo kelangan lang makasanayan ang accelerator pedal. malamang pabigla bigla ka sa simula. hehe
