Super Fun Car!

I would have purchased this car when I was in high school if I had the money. Now it is my fun second car for weekends and playing around. This car has been very reliable and only required a tune up and some exhaust work to be brought back to good running condition. It needs some work on the intake manifold (5th and 6th ports), because they are stuck (works sort of like Honda's VTEC concept - but the rotary engine has no valves).

This car is so incredibly fun to drive, and for the money you spend, you can outhandle and outaccelerate 95% of the cars on the road.

Great car, Rotary engines have a unique sound. Unlike other cars, the 13b rotary loves high rpms. This car corners like a true sports car. 50/50 weight, no need to slow down just turn the wheel and hit the gas. If your tires are worn the rear end might slide a bit, easily corrected by steering. Thats only when you take a 90 degree turn at 60+mph. The suspension is stiff, so the car stays solid, no bounce. Hit a bump at 115mph on the freeway, I was lifted up out of my seat a couple inches but the car didn't budge.

I have had 2 RX-7's so far and i love both of them they handle the turns better than any car i have owned. I have added a few minor things to increase the Hp and it has made a difference, the Rotary will run for a very long time if you take care of it by checking the oil and water levels, if the temp gets a little high "STOP DRIVING IT" until you find out what is causing it. I have heard of many people killing their rotarys due to a leaking water hose. Overall an awsome car for the price.

This car gets attention wherever it goes. Awesome styling, sleek body design that's timeless. A real thrill to drive on country roads with the cd cranked. Handles like it's on rails, responsive and cool sounding rotary engine. Top notch stereo/am/fm/tape/cd by Pioneer. Headrest speakers, plus four more give great sounds. Couldn't ask for a car to do more. Leather interior, great power top with T-top option. Paint looks as good as new. Has California hitch for pulling small boat, trailer. Am looking forward to driving the RX8 coming out this year.
