the GSL-SE is obviously one of the best cars mazda has ever made

the 81-83's are nice, they feel more modern than the SA, but still have the traditional sports car dash/interior. my 83 LE was really nice to drive, all the controls were light, but direct, its a lot like an alfa romeo spider, except its better.

84-85 12a's are maybe my least favorite, but ive had several, and liked em all

my wish list would be a spark yellow SA, 81-81 GSL in mayan gold, an 83 LE, 84-85 gsl-se probably silver with red...

My favorite first gen would have to be mine.

first 3 months of production, came factory w/ JDM side hood prop, JDM coin holders, no passenger mirror
its a 79, sunrise red, black vinyl interior. Very good shape in and out. Original 12a.
Still passes cali emissions and is a great mountain cruiser.

<3


And to be more specific on j9s reply. That SA he would want to put his pport into is mine. Which actually used to be HIS car.....hehehe. I win again Trebek!

1984 because I own the white one Ray posted up earlier, and having driven an 1983 for a year and a half before the white one, the S4 interior is a much better interior.
