1990 Mazda RX7 Convertible review from North America
"Sporty fun that leaves you wanting a little more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the engine @ 187023 due to coolant leak which caused the engine to overheat. This in turn warped the rotors and the rotor housings.
Seats have worn out in the side bolsters.
Mazda plastic does not like to be left outside or it fades.
General comments?
It is a great car to drive, both fun and forgiving in the corners. It is however like dating a supermodel. It will treat you badly for no reason, everyone stares at her, your friends want her, and she's fun to drive.
