ok, I have convinced my parents to help me buy a RX-7 3rd gen. and i'll be getting rid of my p.o.s. RX-8, they want me to get a srt-4 instead, because it is "newer", I was wondering if there is anything that usually goes wrong with the 7's such as seals breaking to turbo's screwing up, if there is anyinformation on this please please please let me know cuz i hate my 8 and want a 7.

P.S.- whats hte gas mileage on the 3rd gen 7's?

 

what usually goes wrong is that you end up paying as much in mods and fixes as you do for the car; if not more

If you think the rx8 is a pos than how could you possibly justify an fd? Gas mileage is nothing to brag about. Have you looked into the mazdaspeed 3 at all?

 

You're too young for an FD. Don't buy one until you're out of college. Your bank account and credit card balances will thank you for it. Seriously.

 

considering the national recall on the renesis, it is a POS.
IMO i think the styling is tooo american and ugly, flared fenders, etc, nothing compared to the lines and curves the FD has, even remotely. i consider it the mazda answer to the 350z

and honestly if you don't know anything about the 7, it'd be better you not learn the hard way

 

Try looking at something that you can drive everyday. Cause if you decide to get a 7 you must have a daily driver!!!! it by far the most important
