A lot has been said about the Mazda RX-7 for 1994. As Mazda's entry in the coupe market the RX-7 (and in this case specically the R2 version) has maintained a solid reputation. The 2-door RX-7 is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect car to help Mazda as a brand in general.

Performance

The RX-7 R2 is equipped with a Mazda 1.3 liter two-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The engine is mated to a Mazda 5-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Mazda.

The 1994 RX-7's normal fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 20.10 gallons.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The RX-7 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

RX-7 R2 Statistics

The RX-7 is 168.50 inches long, 68.90 inches wide, and 48.40 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 95.50 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1994 (MSRP) was $36,500, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

The standard warranty period for the RX-7 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.

Fuel Efficiency

The 1994 RX-7 gets 24 - 25 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 - 18 in the city. This is average for a coupe car.

In Summary
