1992 Mazda 929 review from North America
"Luxury trash can"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got it, all four struts were bad. had to change them all, about $200 each for original Mazda parts. but still after I changed them, it still rides terrible.
Had problem with engine performance, kept on hesitating. fixing it is expensive so I didn't bother.
I then had problems with idle rpm, when its cold, engine rpm goes up to 3000 and fluctuates rapidly. which is very frustrating and annoying.
Decent acceleration from 0-60 about 8 seconds for a big car like this one, but I can still beat a 1996 Chevy blazer LT. (sorry dude, I had to put it)
Top speed is bad, I don't think it could go to 115 mph.
It's a gas guzzler, about 13 mpg,
General comments?
It looks really nice though, it turns heads, but I wouldn't advise any body to get one.
