Mazda Familia 1500 (SS)
The second-generation Familia 1500 SS (Super Sport) was the Fiat 124 competitor that showed Mazda could build a sporting compact. Its SOHC inline-four, disc front brakes, and taut suspension gave it a driver's car character that European-spec cars couldn't quite match for price.
