1985 Mazda RX7 GSL review from North America
"How can I get rid of my oldest child?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right now I am having some sort of vacuum problem, car runs very rough intermittently, but other than a few hoses, brakes, tires, stereo went out, clock does not work, 1 new clutch, the usual, it has been very dependable. Needs to be repainted due to a bad paint job after I was hit when the care was new. Shifts and clutches very easy.
General comments?
This car handles awesome on dry pavement with good tires. Corners very easy and turns on a dime. I have owned other cars, but can't seem to sell this one since it is older than my child in college! One feels very "wrapped in" when you are sitting in it. It is very comfortable.
