1987 Mazda RX7 GT review from Japan

I have had nothing serious wrong with the FC, however as this is a review and people may want to buy one I will put down a list of common problems:

- The gearbox is not weak, but the rotary engine (13B) is very powerful making the gearbox feel weak.

- It is very easy to break the Limited Slip Differential because, of once again, the power of the 13B power.

If you are a looking for a comfortable four seater car that you can use to tow around the family, this car is not for you. The RX7 is a purebred sports car, that is, it was made for sports (unlike a lancer or commodore).

This car is known for its maneuverability, and in its time is was the best cornering car out there (and still is one of the best)

There are certain risk when buying a rotary engine powered car (especially a turbo) as although they are more reliable then your conventional engine (less moving parts) if damaged they are hard to repair and you must go to a specialist, however a whole new engine is only around $1500 (AUS)

The RX7s looks are timeless and it still turns heads due to its looks as well as its purrrfect like sound (most people agree, even non-rotor fans, that the rotary engine sounds the best) - the chicks love them too.
