Advantages: Supercar Speeds. Exotic Looks. Very Driver Focused. Disadvantages: Group 20 Insurance. Small rear seats. Regular 3kmile Services Needed.
I use a Mazda RX7 as an everyday car, commuting to work and for play. ;)
I bought it from the Southampton car import dock yards and here is my honest review.
Note: Remember I am only talking about the 1992-2001 "FD3S" RX7 as in the picture above!
The designer of this RX7 was not happy with the standard of sports cars around at the time. He proposed to Mazda that he wanted to create a REAL sports car designed for just that. The rotary engine was ... ...enjoy the RX7 most."
What Mazda ended up with is the most lightweight car out of its competitors at the time which made it the best handling high power sports car for 1992-2001. Forget the newer RX8 - it is a weak attempt at recapturing the target market from the RX7 pedigree where the RX8 fails badly.
Often described as the sexiest car from Japan - RX7s between 92-01 are ALL twin turbo 1300cc engines.
280bhp with a very quick 0-60 of 5 seconds ...

Advantages: sporty, eye-catching appearance Disadvantages: rotary engine - unlike most other sports cars
..."kick" and style - well, Mazda achieved that in this car. However, because of the discontinuation of this model and the introduction of the RX8, this car has been relegated to and is being sought after by street racers, who just find it to be a very good mergeance of style and power.
However, I must admit that I am a fan of Nissan (300ZX, 350Z, 200SX, Skyline) and Mitsubishi (every model of the Lancer Evolution, Eclipse and the 3000GT), and rotary ... ...has four, six or eight pistons and a corresponding number of cylinders (one for each piston to move up and down in), whereas a rotary engine has no pistons or cylinders of the sort. The premise of the design was the engine power is lost in the assorted movements of the pistons and other internal engine components - less moving parts translates into a higher efficiency.
As a result of this, the engine looks tiny when you pop the hood.
At 1.3 litres, ...

Advantages: will dessimate all even as standered! Disadvantages: only a 1.3L engin
The classic model rx7 is by appearance just another sporty mid life crisis car for the lower-middle class businessman.
However beneath its polished veneer and stylish trim lies the most amazing machine even as standard. it has only a 1.3L engine, however don’t be fooled; with its rotary engine (for you car rookie wannabe's a rotary engine has no maximum rev capacity, thus allowing for greater horse power and a fast yet reliable ride), as standard ... ...some modifications) and allows you to increase horse power to an astonishing 350BHP. not good enough for you? i thought not, the RX7 can handle an intake of two nitrous systems, two fogger systems and a V-TECH fuel management system. fully "SQUEEZED" (modified with nitrous) it can run at an awesome, brown trousering 600BHP ride of a lifetime.
this car cannot be beaten when modified correctly, and even rivals the "NISSAN SKYLINE”, brought to ...
