One vehicle that often gets overlooked as a viable used sports car option is the Mazda RX-7. As a successor to the popular Mazda Grand Familia of the 1970s, the Mazda RX-7 bridged the gap to the modern Mazda RX-8 currently available. While this lightweight vehicle is often overshadowed by its brethren, the Mazda RX-7 made an impact during its long run between 1978 and 2002. And while this vehicle was produced until the 2000s, it was not sold in North America, or any right-side driving countries, after 1995. Regardless, the Mazda RX-7 fulfilled its role in the Mazda lineup and over 800,000 units of the car were manufactured during its production.
