They are very nice cars. No the GXL does not have a turbo. Read threw the FAQ and it will tell you alot.
GXL has everything a turbo has except the turbo haha.. So PW, PL, Sunroof, LSD, etc....
My suggestion is if the body and interior are in good shape get a compression test done by someone who knows a little bit about rotarys. See if its still decent and then go from there..

The GXL is like the luxery FC but without the power. If your going for performance from an NA you may wanna look into a base model as they are lighter then the GXL cause they don't come with all the options and bells/whistles. But if you just want a nice FC to cruise in then the GXL is a great choice as it combines sports car with comfort and style.

I sold my GXL for a Sport. The GXL was about 120 pounds heavier.

Then again, I loved my GXL to death. Power windows, cruise, LSD, and the leather interior (GXL option, most GXL's do not have leather) was soo sweet.

Thanks a lot guys.. Seems this was kinda pointless to ask in a sense... The one I was looking at was sold a few days ago apparently...... It was at a very nice price too


Mainly I started this to ask what everyone thought and such, should've thought of looking in the FAQ about it being turbo-charged, but I'm absent minded at times ^_^;;


Quick question for anyone who might know it off the top of their head, and has time to reply... About what was the gas mileage since it was not turbo-charged?
