Review

Performance has its price. This car is all about performance. It is not for the faint of heart nor thin of wallet. Expect to pay for the performance. Unfortunately, most original owners were unaware of this aspect of ownership. However with proper research and the availibility of a good,local aftermarket tuner, the the 3rd Gen RX7 will take your breath away!

Favorite Features

Fantastic acceleration, well balanced, very high horsepower to weight ratio. It looks sleek and seductive; always invites looks and comments.

Suggested Improvements

Out of production, so a moot point. However, aftermarket support is extensive almost cult-like.

The 3rd Gen RX7 is a Poor Man's Ferrari

Review

The 3rd generation Mazda's RX7 rightfully won Motor Trend's Car of the year award when it was first released 10 years ago. Its combination of acceleration, handling and styling made it the best sports car to ever come from Japan and better than many cars that cost twice or even three times as much, including Porsche. This car is a true sports car not just a sporty car and it sacrifices many comforts for performance.

Favorite Features

Rotary engine is light, compact and revs to the limit in a very smooth and predictable manner. Handling is phenomenal. Braking is excellent. Good leg room.

Suggested Improvements

Devoid of any cargo space. Harsh ride. Consumes premium fuel at an alarming rate.

Review

I bought this car because of its reputation. Since buying it, I've done numerous things to it to improve reliability and performance, and every minute has been a blast. This car still gets lots of looks, and can outperform many faaaaar more expensive cars.

Favorite Features

big horsepower, RWD, huge community and availability of modifications/parts.

Suggested Improvements

Needs a boost gauge from the factory. Better quality factory parts...intercooler, radiator, etc. Many parts are not sufficient for hard driving. Standard dual oil coolers. More exotic materials :)

Review

The car does just what a sportscar should do. Thrill. But just like that trophy girlfriend of yours---this sweetheart is HIGH MAINTENANCE. If you are looking for a car you can drive and abuse FORGET THIS ONE and leave the few that are still available to those of us who car enough to keep them pampered.

Favorite Features

1. Handling 2. Acceleration 3. Comfort 4. Style

Suggested Improvements

Can't improve on a dead product line--- Have Ford/Mazda bring them back first and then we'll chat about upgrades later
