1987 Mazda RX7 GLX review from France
"Very fun car, and also very rare in France"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have my alternator belt broken the first day I purchase it, because it has not been driven for 3 years.
Interior plastics are squeezing when driving.
The clutch is noisy.
The clutch pedal, don't return back sometimes when you press it too long.
The white color was ugly need some good polish.
General comments?
The rotary engine is very strong, and the driving is very enjoyable.
The exhaust has quite a sporty sound, but the idling is a little bit too noisy.
Best bang for your buck if you have money for gas.
