1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible review from North America
"A car you can fall in love with"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
Soon after I bought the car, it started running hot (apparently an apex seal). I was told I needed a new engine. To cut a long story short, after trying a lot of sealer's, CRC block sealer did the trick, the car has been running cool for 2 months now. Love the car. One of the best looking convertibles around (my biased opinion).
