1988 Mazda 929 review from North America
"A good car for the highway driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windows have trouble rising when it is cold outside.
Has a slight delay of acceleration when a lot of stress is put on the engine.
Tread on the tires gets worn out fast.
Transmission kit at 125,000.
General comments?
This car handles great on the highway, but has quite a high ideal speed so the brake needs to be used in parking lots quite frequently.
Excellent acceleration on flat ground.
