1987 Mazda 121 LX review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, quiet, robust and climbs hills like Sir Edmund Hilary (the man who climbed Everest!)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the time I had this car it never even stalled, its engine never failed to start and its tires never became worn.
I WOULD GIVE IT A 10/10 FOR RELIABILITY.
General comments?
A very robust car that could certainly cope with steep hills even though its engine size is 1.1. There is always a stereotype about small engines
eg. "the engine is very weak" but the small Mazda engine is very nippy and is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very quiet!
