1973 Mazda Capella review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only the usual set of points, distributor caps.
Other than that, it's been a pleasure to own.
General comments?
This being my first car, I have nothing against my Capella at the moment. It's stock standard at the moment, but it still has more go than what it looks like.
Its interior is plain, but to the point. Seats are still like new and very nice to sit in on short and long trips. The body styling is very good for the look of the car. The boot is nice and big to put all of your shopping in.
The engine is very good for tuning and of course getting up and going.
