1992 Mazda 121 Bubble review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fast, brilliant little car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox and at clutch 98000km's.
Left and right outside CV joints replaced at 126000km's.
Left and right inside CV joints at 149000km's.
General comments?
I thrashed the car from day one and its never really let me down.
I bought the car new from a dealer in 1992 and all I've done is put some 17" mags (215/45 tyres) and a 2 1/2" exhaust.
I've driven a lot of small european and japanese sports cars and not many of them come close to the performance and handling of the bubble.
The car also has a short wheelbase which makes-off roading fun.
