1988 Mazda RX7 GXL review from North America
"It is a good car, but parts are expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first thing to go wrong was the cooling system.
After replacing that the radiator blew.
Other than that it is a good mechanically sound car.
General comments?
The handling in this car is great.
Acceleration is not breath-taking, but is decent.
There is hardly any room in the car, but it is good for a student.
