1996 Mazda Capella Field Cruiser review from Australia and New Zealand
"Terrific value for money!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Belts replaced at 90K.
Rear shocks at 130K.
Petrol pump and fuel line at 150K.
General comments?
Imported from Japan at 80K. 4 wheel drive.
Looks like a Subaru, but far cheaper to run!
Beautifully made car with excellent acceleration for under 2000 cc.
Easy to get parts for (In New Zealand).
Roomy and comfortable.
