Hey guys, I'm new to the forums. I'm just doing some research because I'm about to sell my 240 and I'm thinking of getting a rx7. Can you guys tell me some things to look for when I go to check them out? Common problems, and things like that. Any feedback would help. Thanks guys.

if daily driver, dont worry so much.

but if you are planning on modding it, save up!

some comes with great prices! and some are over rated high. good luck

Alright cool. Thanks guys.

Also, how reliable are these cars for daily driving with a little fun in between? I know 240s are out of action like once a month lol.

I have only had 1 problem with my car that I didn't cause by trying to upgrade it...A pilot bearing blewup.

daily driver... i think its good and i get about 23-25 mpg. i seem to max out at 350 miles to a full tank, could go more but i think i get 75 miles per quarter tank. i havent tested the normal mpg vs aggresive mpg.

also, mpg depends on the series and n/a or turbo. my rx7 is a S4 GTU n/a, i'm satisfied but i want more.


s4 fuel tank 14 gallons - 23-25, 350 miles a tank
s5 fuel tank 16 gallons - idk

and about the 240s takinga break, i think the seven can take the beating... had mine for about 10 months or so. runs strong!

As long as you're prepared for the maintenance, and the desire to always spend more and more money on the damn thing. Once you own one though, you'll be hooked.

I agree with Trots up there.

I purchased mine as a weekend warrior at the track, but after only about a month, I find myself staring at the clock at my work waiting to get off so I can go cruising in the 7. The car is unbelievably fun. You won't be let down if you get one. Trust me.
