1994 Mazda RX7 Ifini Type R2 review from UK and Ireland

Drivers side door lock (inside) stopped working, quite easy to fix at any reputable garage.

First thing about this car is the performance, it truly is something to behold. Putting your foot down in second and third will push you right back into your seat and really get your heart racing, especially with the second turbo kicking in at around 5000rpm.

Handling is very good, and is exactly what I expected from a sports car. Having said that though the ride is still comfortable enough to drive around town centres (watch out for some speed humps though) even where I live which has some of the worst roads in the UK.

Inside everything wraps around you nicely and is easy to reach, there's no real squeaks or noises from the dash or doors and things seem to have been put together nicely. The driving position is pretty good and comfortably accommodates me which is no mean feat as I'm 6'3".

Fuel economy is not brilliant, but that's to be expected from a performance car. On average I spend about £30 a week on higher quality fuel (Shell Optimax has the highest rating with 98 ron) and that's having a bit of fun with my foot down sometimes.

Overall am very happy with my purchase, the car came from Japan in October 2004 and I bought it for a little under £10,000. For that price you just can't go wrong.
