1984 Mazda RX-7 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really love the 1984 Mazda RX-7 for its fun driving experience and unique rotary engine. Many feel it's a great car for drifting and project builds, with excellent handling and a thrilling performance. On the downside, several owners mention issues with fuel economy, maintenance costs, and the rotary engine requiring specific knowledge for repairs."
This car is every drifters dream it's perfectly balanced and with a little help the motor will run up for ever.
April 19, 2008The car has amazing handling, stopping, and acceleration. the only problems are lack of space and not the best on gas. Will definitely drift for you when you want, and will get out of its own way. All in all, fantastic car
June 18, 2014I'm never getting rid of this car. The only other car I've ever driven that feels as connected to the road is the first gen 'new' Mini Cooper S. Unfortunately it's still a work in progress so it's rarely driven right now.

June 16, 2008The Mazda RX-7 is a very unique car with a rotary engine instead of a cylinder based engine, while being very light, it is still very fast, although it doesn’t generate very much horsepower.
December 2, 2020It's rotary first of all. 1.1L engine putting out 100HP on a car that weighs 2200 lbs. It has tons of room for upgrades and a bigger rotary. This car is insanely fun to drive, especially because of how it tries to drift on straightaways (with no power steering!).
June 7, 2010Bought this car when i was in HS. Restored it with my uncle. Great car but expensive! Anytime you needed a part it costed double or triple normal parts cost. Some parts were super hard to find as well due to the somewhat rarity of these cars. Loved driving it! Lots of fun and lookd awesome!!! A great hobby car but not a daily driver!!!
January 28, 2009What a fun car, my first car and probably one that I'll end up buying again to have as a project. Performance is top notch with very close to 50/50 distribution if you tweak with aftermarket struts. The rotary can spin to 8k and they only warn you there because it's OEM. Watch for carbon lock on those 13a/b's and it's a blast to drive.
December 20, 2008For current standards the 100 hp 12a rotary just doesnt cut it, too slow in every aspect besides launch and shift surge which both are due to it being rear wheel drive, the rotary engines are riddled with problems and u need to learn almost a new language to coherently work on one, the car exterior is beautiful and yet aggressive when done right the interior is very well loaded with ac, power everything sunroof and all the perks, even cruise control in an 84 manual trans! the gas millage sucks as for all rotaries but stock its not to bad, the car is very fun to drive the rear wheel drive in snow makes it unbelievable fun to drift. I would recommend it to a friend if it was in good condition because fixing this motor is different from all others often taking $200 an hour for a rotary specialist to fix.
January 22, 2009Funnest car I ever owned! GSL-SE 13-B motor,4Wheel Discs,Firmer suspension,Steers like a slot car,great body.I have owned it since 1990!The only real negative is poor mileage when driven hard which of course is all the time!
January 21, 2009Fun and a great classic. The Rotary is my favorite part of the car. No power steering so thats kind of fun. I love to drift. Very old but very fun if you have money to spend. I love this car.
