1988 Mazda RX7 Coupe review from North America
"A quintessential sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof is off track and won't open.
The dome light and the security system have a mind of their own as to when they actually will work.
The intermittent wipers don't work, and the wipers don't shut off properly.
General comments?
The performance is great, the car is fast out of the hole and is a flier on the highway.
It gets pretty bad gas mileage, about 17/24, but what do you expect with a sports car?
I am impressed by the engine, it is super smooth, rev happy, and has some torque.
I'll never think of a piston engine the same again...
