1988 Mazda RX7 SE review from North America
"Best purchase of my life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken u-joint at 118,000 miles.
Starter at 128,000 miles.
General comments?
Great car. Power is OK if you don't mind not having torque. The RPM range is fantastic and the car has never left me stranded. It's been nothing, but safe and reliable since I bought it.
I have no compaints about the car in any sense. I was however lucky enough to get a well maintenced one and something that hasn't had ONE gremlin for me to deal with.
I love it.
