The Mazda RX-2, also known as the Mazda Capella, was a compact car produced by Mazda from 1970 to 1978. It was the successor to the Mazda Familia, and was offered in a variety of body styles, including a two-door coupe, a four-door sedan, and a three-door wagon. The RX-2 was notable for its use of Mazda's innovative rotary engine, which was a unique design that differed significantly from traditional piston engines. This engine, often referred to as the "Wankel engine", was smaller and lighter than a comparable piston engine, providing a unique driving experience. The RX-2 was available with two different rotary engine options: the 1.0L 10A and the 1.2L 12A. These engines were known for their smooth, high-revving performance. While the RX-2 was initially sold in Japan under the name "Capella," it was known as the "RX-2" in most export markets. This name designation emphasized its rotary engine technology, which was a key selling point for Mazda. Despite its innovative engine technology, the RX-2 faced challenges in the market due to its relatively high fuel consumption compared to other cars of the time. The rotary engine's design also presented unique maintenance challenges, requiring specialized tools and knowledge for servicing. Nevertheless, the RX-2 gained a dedicated following among enthusiasts who appreciated its unique performance and driving characteristics. Its legacy continues to be celebrated by collectors and hobbyists today, making repair manuals like the "RARE Mazda RX-2 RX2 616 Workshop Repair Manual" a valuable resource for those seeking to maintain and restore these iconic vehicles.
