1990 Mazda RX7 Reviews - Page 3 of 3

Had to replace the engine @ 187023 due to coolant leak which caused the engine to overheat. This in turn warped the rotors and the rotor housings.

Seats have worn out in the side bolsters.

Mazda plastic does not like to be left outside or it fades.

It is a great car to drive, both fun and forgiving in the corners. It is however like dating a supermodel. It will treat you badly for no reason, everyone stares at her, your friends want her, and she's fun to drive.

First it had to have a new engine put in it.

Second, a transmission.

Third, work on the drive shaft.

Fourth, window switch broke.

Fifth, wind shield wipers don't work, but on one speed.

Sixth, rear wind shield wiper doesn't work at all.

Seventh, short in radio.

After all of this work done to the car, when it reaches 70 miles an hour it wants to sound like it is grounding. I can understand why Mazda quit making this car, I would be ashamed to put my name on it too.

It is remarkable that an engine this small can only obtain 18 miles per gallon, but the performance you receive back is worth the cost.

Short trips, such as from the driveway to the garage, will end any chance you have of starting the RX7 the next day. It is very sensitive to flooding and you dare not touch that gas pedal prior to turning the key, or you will spend the next 30 minutes trying to fire it up. If I remember the rules, it will fire up every time.

Although the car is excellent throughout, the cord seams in the seat covers are wearing thin, which is out of character with the rest of the fabric.

This car is a thrill to drive.

It has the smoothest power I have ever experienced and corners without ever getting off the gas.

The wife hates it... simply jealous!

Engines seem to fail after approximately 60,000 miles.

Buy 2 year warranted engine from specialist - fuel consumption is appalling, but speed is scary! Wouldn't swap the car for anything. Ensure regular servicing and maintenance.
