MW 1982 Mazda GLC Hatchback Road Test | Retro Review 

My first car! Well, it was my parents' car and I got to drive it when I started driving. Surprisingly tough car even when driven by jerks. Had many friends that later bought new Mazdas because they said they saw how my older brother and I treated our GLC and it took it no problem. The 5 speed was so easy to use. The sedan was not very roomy but had a huge trunk.

That truck at 5:00...

Honda made fun cars to drive, but Mazda really was the only Japanese carmaker which could make FWD cars that matched Europe’s best when it came to road manners.

I Have One

If this car were solid beige with a beige vinyl interior,, it would be an exact twin of the 1982 Mazda GLC hatchback that I used to ride to Camp Forty Acres in Wilmington, MA. in back in the day!!!!!

Thanks for sharing this video 😊

Decent bottom end acceleration but seems to run out of pep at higher speeds, I'm glad to see them do the 500 ft run and the 1/4 mile on this video.

My very first car! The engine seemed to rev forever, or 5000 rpm. 0-60 in "today".

Mazda always gave you good looks at no extra cost. Well not always, the previous glc wasn’t nearly as tasteful looking.

Does anyone else get the Mazda GLC and Mercedes GLC mixed up?

I think this and the 81 Escort were basically the same car but the Ford had a softer suspension and a 4 speed instead of 5.
