I tried searching the forum for answers to these questions, but could not return any related results.

I'm going to have my car sold soon, and I'm thinking about getting a 90 or 91. I was thinking along the lines of a turbo coupe, but I wouldn't mind a na convertible.

Are these are reliable cars to own?
How well do they handle in the rain (and/or snow)?
Any general problems I should look out for when considering one to purchase?
Would you recommend na or turbo?

 

#1: NO
#2: Terribly, but fun
#3: http://aaroncake.net/RX-7/tech1.htm
#4: Depends on what your looking for NA would be a little more reliable.


oh and read "FAQ FOR FCs"

 

#1: not abused and maintained properly as reliable as any 15+ year old car
#2 Good tires handle in the rain well, remember its rear wheel drive and likes to go sideways if too much power applied in the wet, I do not know about snow...I live in Texas
#3: http://aaroncake.net/RX-7/tech1.htm or this forum
#4: NAs are a little more reliable for the most part, I am not sure if that is related to the car or the drivers, it is fun to abuse a turbo and from what I see turbos spend more time at full throttle


Just my 2 cents, I have a NA vert and it is a wonderful, fun and reliable car.

OK guys, I think we've covered it.

Also, a search for "new owner", "reliable", "buying questions" and variations on that theme should turn up lots of info.
