1988 Mazda RX7 SE review from North America
"A true sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch throwaway bearing began to squeak. I decided to change it even though the clutch still had half its life left.
Otherwise...mint!
General comments?
This car is incredible.
The rotary is a blast to drive. The power builds dramatically, and the sound is incredible!
The handling is superb and the more you drive the car the more confidence you have in it.
The RX7 was designed to be a sports car and it does its job well. From its race inspired rotary engine to its 50/50 weight distribution, suspension and brakes, everything is geared for performance!
Love this car! I'll never go piston again :)
