1993 Mazda Lantis R review from Australia and New Zealand
"This model has some serious potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump was replaced after 1 week.
Rear left brake caliper was replaced after 2 weeks.
These problems were fixed at no cost to me.
General comments?
Great car to drive with added control due to the up-graded sports suspension.
However side-skirts and a boot spoiler would finish off the aero-dynamics of the car nicely.
Also a little flat in the lower revs, but picks up nicely after the fuel injection kicks in at 4000 revs.
