my escort weighed 2500 pounds with me in it.... i weigh 180, meaning it weighs 2320 pounds.
thats with approximately a half tank of gas, and the spare, back seat, and jack removed. also my a/c and power steering is gone... but i think the turbo, intercooler, larger capacity radiator, and 3" exhaust probably comes close to cancelling that out weight-wise.
the wheel base on the 323 is a couple inches shorter, so unless mazda used thicker sheet metal... i'd think 22xx pounds is perfectly reasonable.
