1988 Mazda RX7 SE review from North America
"Sporty, fast, and fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant hose came off the first day I got it. Clutch cable was loose. Air conditioning never worked.
General comments?
Handles like a true sports car should. Quick and sleek. Just because it is a rotary doesn't mean that I have had allot of problems with it. This car is very reliable! Besides basic maintenance, I have never had any major problems with it. It is my daily driver and am never going to get rid of it.
