1981 Mazda RX7 Sports 2 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pop-up headlamp motor burnt out, exhaust cracked in front of rear box, radiator leaked, and a bad earth kept draining the battery (all this over 6 months, though the car was 15 years old at the time).
General comments?
A bit unconventional and not the fastest of cars but a thoroughly enjoyable car to drive. Mazda should have kept making the original RX-7 models instead of the MX-5.
