I dont own an FC, but I'd rather have on then a FD anyday. Same with my mk3, I'd take it over an mk4 anyday.

There is too much $$$ in my FC, for me not to like it.

But I'd trade it in a second for an FD

I cant understand people, I love my car because MK3's are so rare now days, I swear 75% of them are in the junkyard. In a few years there will be so few MK3's, and it will be owners like me who continue to completely restore the car + make it faster. Our cars never die the only get faster! Plus the older body style will definately be more of a collectors item, 4 more years and I get collectors plates for my baby!

Same thing with a 2nd gen.

I love them both. For me, its not one or the other, its FC until it becomes a monster. Then it's time to get an FD as well.

When I first started looking at rx7's a long time ago.. I was all hooked on the 3rd gen and thought the 2nd gen was nasty.


As I kept looking at pics and more pics of the 2nd gen.. I fell in love with it.

A year later I have one. I love it.

I've had 4 FC's and 2 FD's, and I like TurboII's more, at least for day to day use, they're more fun to drive in the city. =)

Heck, I sold my FD to get a TurboII.

FC all the way, but if I could get an FD I would (and no, I'd not give up my FC just to get the FD).

I love my FC. I never want to get rid of it. Some day maybe I'll be able to get a FD, but I'll still have my FC.

Yo,

FC fo' Evah!

I'd never own an FD, unless it had an LT1/LS1 in it.

Could of owned an FD. But just barely. I would probably be eating nothing but Ramen and go back to college in my home city to save money. So I just invested the FD money about close to 2 years ago. Its still in the bank so I'm looking to treat myself to a nicer car in a few years (older NSX?)

Anyways, didn't dawn on me that FC's were so cheap. 2-3 grand on average. Thought it'd be a fun weekend car. A still beautiful looking car too. Got my tax return and spare cash, and bought myself an NA FC. Few months later, sold it for a TII. FC love baby!!

Fell in love w/ the FC when they fist came out- specifically the 'vert.

She was my first love, and although I would have a fling with an FD, I'll be coming home to my FC every night.

Hmmm... i thought the FD has better maintenance since Mazda had time to improve on the rotary engine and plus it's newer so better parts

Not exactly. The sequential twin turbo setup is much more complicated with more vacuum hoses, solenoids, actuators, etc. Not to mention that Mazda had to cut some corners in the quality department when they went all out on the FD's performance.

The FD is fast, one of the best cars for cornering, looks great, but even that can't hide its numerous recalls, lack of quality, and reliability.
