1987 Mazda RX7 GT-X review from Australia and New Zealand
"This is the best car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has ever gone wrong with this car. Mind you I have not had it long.
General comments?
Fuel consumption is high owing to the rotary engine with a turbocharger.
This is a really quick car and the automatic option is great in heavy traffic, but no so sporty to drive as the last one I had which was manual.
This car is in mint condition and was a bargain at $5000NZD.
However it will need a rebuild at some stage.
