1992 Mazda Eunos Presso review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very badly designed vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Waterpump blew at 141,000km.
Inner CV and drive shaft broke.
The seams in the leather seats kept coming apart more and more.
Car juddered heaps while driving at high speeds (despite all the tyres etc having been done).
Trans died at 154,000km (had it mended and then sold it shortly after)
General comments?
This car went well for the first 6 months, but after that it was problem after problem.
Transmissions in these vehicles are too small for the V6 engine, as I was told by an expert. They have the same transmission as a 1.3L 323.
Any work to be done on any part of this vehicle's engine is very costly, as the engine is really hard to work with.
Very cheaply made vehicle.
