"Seriously, the 13b sequential turbo is a very powerful engine in a super balanced chasis. Tons of aluminum suspension components all engineered for track performance! One of the finest cockpits to step into for a stock 1993 model supercar. Trunk space is very limited and it's a two-seater, so you have rear storage compartments. Gearing is dialed in on this vehicle. 4.10rear end. a powerful rpm range of power on tap. lag does not exist on a properly running FD3S. If you do not believe me, test drive one."

Still turning heads at 16 years old. 1995 RX-7

"This car is not meant for anyone that doesn't Love to drive. I crack a smile just looking at it in the garage. Granted it takes more care ($) than a Honda but every penny is so worth it when it launches out of a hairpin turn clawing the asphalt for traction like it was nothing more than a walk in the park. Few drivers will ever know what this car is capable of. It's limits are so far beyond what can be done legally on the street. You have to get use to heads turning, fingers pointing and explaining "no pistons". Stock is insanely powerful for the street and Modified units should come with life insurance. You can buy more dependable transportation but you will have to remind me why."

a civilized race car

By bajaman (KS) on Wednesday, November 02, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 105,000

Pros: "fast, fast, FAST...nimble and fun."

Cons: "kidney killing ride, high maintenance costs"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Mazda got it all right with this car. Perfect weight balance, incredible power-to-weight ratio, supercar performance at a reasonable price. No wonder all the major car magazines raved about it, with at least one naming it 'Car of the Year'. Twenty years after its debut, this car will still turn heads with its timeless styling and fantastic performance. The low volume (about 15,000 cars only) sold in the U.S. over the three years they were available ensures you that this is a car you don't see very often, so if you are looking for a car that really stands out from the crowd the 3rd generation RX7 is the vehicle for you."
