1984 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE review from North America
"20 years of low up keep costs, high reliability, speed,handling- best sports car for the money ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced clutch at 170,000 miles.
Drive line started shaking at 190,000 miles. Cost me $25.00 for a used one at an auto wrecker.
General comments?
The car has gotten faster with each passing mile. The 1.3B motor is bullet-proof. The motor began to hit it's stride at 150,000 miles.
The car has never failed to start as long as the battery was good.
It's nimble and can burn the tires in the first three gears and chirp the fourth gear. In fifth gear it has power to pass even in the mountains.
