1989 Mazda 1500 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great for a cheap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Occasionally the engine doesn't run at full power, although the problem fixed itself.
General comments?
Satisfactory power, looks nice for an '89 model. Quite reliable, the familia model has all the extras and satisfies my needs nicely. Comfortable little car.
