Mazda RX-7 Engines and Transmissions

The compact 1.3-liter rotary is the Mazda RX-7 engine in this generation: gasoline-fed, high-revving, and tied to a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain. Selected Coupe examples include a 1.3 AT automatic and a 1.3 MT manual, so your powertrain choice is mainly about how you work the transmission.
