1987 Mazda RX7 SE review from North America
"A great reliable fun car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been great few problems except for electrical the seats ripped at the seams, but other than that it has been fine. The engine runs fine and is very easy to fix. The only true mechanical problem was occasionally the spark plugs would foul until I got the newer cross cut design for thirty bucks problem solved.
General comments?
It's a fine reliable sports car the hatch has more capacity than a trunk and is great for hauling things around. Great pickup and the rotary engine runs smoothly and delivers effortless power.
