Mazda RX-7 Coupe (1986-)
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For performance, there is little to touch this car.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Buying cost is extraordinarily low, and the parts don't seem too bad (surprisingly!), but insurance and fuel are very dear.

    Yo, sexy baby! This car has been stared at; ignoring the Lotus Elise in front and TT convertible behind. People STARE at this car.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Snug, and close fitted. At 6' 2", I'm at the extreme of fitting in this car. But very comfortable.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Must have a good aftermarket alarm. This car is DESIRABLE, and should be treated as such.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Although this is an import, the local Mazda dealer has been more than helpful.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Engine
