Saying the rotary isn't great because of cost to fix is dumb. Take care of it and it'll give you MANY miles of fun.

yes you should. i would reccomend any generation of RX-7. an RX-7 club is naturally full of rotary enthusiasts, of course we're gonna say yes. back to the question, if you have a good rotary mechanic in the area or familiarize yourself with the RX-7 and rotary engine, you should be all set. it was rather overwhelming at first, but its a pretty easy engine to understand, i just dont have the garage or tools to work on mine myself. either way, good luck with purchasing a car, at least you're researching it, and not finding out the flaws after you buy the car. like they said, if you do your research and find out more about it, you'll find out if the RX-7 is right for you or not.
