1993 Mazda RX7 R1 review from North America
"A great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a minor light/electrical problem with the car, but that was taken care of easily.
Transmission has a problem going into 1st gear on initial startup once the cars been sitting over night, but can be take care of by slipping into 2nd first. Other than that, the car's a jewel.
General comments?
I love it, with a couple of minor upgrades, some new tires and the right driver, the next time you see a Viper/Corvette etc... Smile and blow them away.
There are many cars that can keep up with this car in a straight line, but when the turns get sharp or the traffic gets heavy there's no comparison. This car takes the cake! Very little money to upgrade to big horsepower too. Whether you plan on racing it or just enjoying the ride, I give this car 2 thumbs up!
