1990 Mazda 929 S review from North America
"I consider this a poor man's BMW, excellent value and drive-ability for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tuner on the radio quit.
The hood latch cable retaining clip broke.
The right defroster vent is bowing, probably from windshield heat radiation.
General comments?
I consider this a poor man's BMW. It drives easily. It handles well, but is loose when pushed to it's limits.
Considering the power, the economy is satisfactory, 19 to 23 mpg, city to interstate. The cabin is roomy. Plenty of storage room, interior or trunk. Very comfortable on long trips.
