Fun, beautiful car, poor reliability
LB404, 09/29/2004
1993 Mazda RX-7 Turbo 2dr Coupe
Great looking car, with awesome
performance. Today's new cars are
tough to match. Yet, horrible
reliability. I owned 3 RX7's total.
All needed $1000's in repairs, despite
being babied and cared for. New
engines, seals, turbos, cheap plastic,
over heating, harsh ride, hesitations.

The 3rd Gen RX7 is a Poor Man's Ferrari
Salamander, 03/13/2003
1994 Mazda RX-7 Turbo 2dr Coupe
The 3rd generation Mazda's RX7
rightfully won Motor Trend's Car of the
year award when it was first released
10 years ago. Its combination of
acceleration, handling and styling made
it the best sports car to ever come
from Japan and better than many cars
that cost twice or even three times as
much, including Porsche. This car is a
true sports car not just a sporty car …
and it sacrifices many comforts for
performance.

Japanese Ferrari

1993 Mazda RX-7 Turbo 2dr Coupe
A no-compromise sports car. Rough, noisy ride; cramped interior. Not good on long trips. Scary on wet pavement. 17 mpg. Not a practical every-day car. Find a mechanic qualified to work on the extremely complex engine; I found one at a specialty "tuner" shop. First engine died at 86,000 miles (typical); $5,000 to replace. Make sure you find out engine mileage; engine runs hot and slowly … cooks itself to death. Japanese Ferrari in terms of performance and maintenance cost. Expect to pay $100/hr for maintenance. $35,000 maintenance cost over 16 years. I love this car. I will never, ever sell it.
