1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible review from North America
"Great Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a 1990 RX7 and the engine locked up two weeks after an accident.
The 1990 had troubles starting.
My 1988 Convertible the clutch fluid goes down and has to be added to every month and half.
No other problems with the 88.
General comments?
I have a 1988 RX7 convertible, this car is great for a person without children. The car is small, fast, looks great and only has two seats. Mine has a K&N air filter system with performance exhaust. Affordable price (usually under $5000) vs. what you get make this a great economical sports car. Just be sure to take care of the rotary engine and learn what not to do with it.
