1985 Mazda RX7 gsl review from North America
"Fun car, but there are better alternatives"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, but I only had it for 3 months.
General comments?
It's a fun car, but there are better alternatives.
The styling is unique and looks great.
The suspension is too soft and the live rear axel is subpar.
The car is low on power and the gas mileage is poor for such a small car with a small engine.
The best is ever got was 24 mpg combined.
If you want something similar, but much better get a 85-89 Toyota MR@
