1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible review from North America
"Best 1200 dollars I will ever spend!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just acquired this car a few days ago, from a friend who deals in used cars. It could use a brake job and there is an exhaust leak that needs to be taken care of before I put the car on the road next week.
General comments?
Engine is very strong. Car is very quick and drives smooth with little vibration.
I haven't driven a manual for over 20 years, but this car is easier to shift than I remember my previous manual transmission car (1979 Trans Am)
Passenger Room is extremely Tight. I am not very tall (a quarter inch under six feet) and cannot fit in car when the top is down!
