1977 Mazda 808 review from Australia and New Zealand

Nothing really.

Needed a new radiator.

Had some rust but not that bad.

Front axle was a little bent from hiting the curb too many times.

Cracked windshield.

Needed new springs on all 4 wheels.

Clutch was good however the gear box was in bad shape.

Rattled at high speeds.

I paid $400 for this Mazda 808. It was well taken car off and it belonged to a mechanic.

This is a car with a 1.6 motor, it was very powerful that it could of towed anything.

Handled great in bad weather, but if heavy on the pedal it can lose control very easily.

I bought this car at 24 years old and high mileage and the motor was still super and nice and powerful for the age.

Had no electrics but I cared less it was really really reliable and nothing changed, solid as a rock.

The only thing, this car should of had a 5 speed instead of 4 speed because at only 55mph the engine was doing 4500RPM which seemed bad for the engine to me.

This Mazda 808 was an excellent car and I miss it.
