Has anybody scanned this article. Or posted it somewhere, or just seen it somewhere on the net. I just bought a GSL-SE so I thought it would be an interesting read.

I know there's a couple on ebay. But I can't afford a 23 year old magazine. Cause I just spent all my money on a 23 year old car. thanks.

 

i have it and its march of 1984 from car and driver. here is the best i can do with showing you the article:

^ Did anyone notice on page 6 that the GSL-SE had the best fuel economy!!!!

 

Yeah, because the color makes it a completely different spec. vehicle :P Good Call!

 

I love these nonbiased reviews of how the car was accepted when new. Before all the unreliability claims, before the people starting comparing the 25 year old FBs to modern day Camrys. Such beautiful literature to see the Mazda so praised.

 

By the time the first RX-7 came out, the rotary's rep was for good reliability, bad fuel consumption. Also remember, they were kicking *** in IMSA racing throughout the 80's.

The FD is no doubt great, but their engine failures brought back the bad rep.
