1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE review from North America
"Outstanding perforrnance, value and reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned this GSL-SE since new (18 years) and experienced very few problems.
The entire car is stock, except for replacing the power antenna four times.
After 313K miles, I need a new 13B engine. Imagine that, 313K miles on the same engine, clutch, transmission, radiator, etc.
General comments?
This has been the most reliable, fun to drive car I have ever owned.
She has an amazing power curve, enters the freeway with ease, and wants to cruise at 70-80 mph all day.
