Little Help

Ok well i am at a point where i need to make a decision. I am going to be selling my camaro and miata, and am going to be buying a "better" car. I have to decide between a Supra TT, Rx-7 TT, or a WRX. I like them all, but the only problem with the supra and rx7 is that they are hard to find in my area. Of cours there are some, but they are beat to ****, and have a hell of alot of miles on them. I want a semi reliabable car. What should i go with. The RX-7 would run me the cheapest, the supra and wrx would be about the same, but the wrx would be brand new. Ne way you guys all seem to know the cars, so give me some imput. Thanks.

Mike

P.S. call me stupid, but what is FD. I am kinda lost there.

Keep the Miata as a daily driver and buy an FD. Or, sell both, get a WRX, and mod it.

FD is just code letters (internal to Mazda) that describe the 3rd gen RX7.

actually it is FD3S but most people shorten because you can still tell the difference between the different models: FD, FC, FB
What do you want the car for? WRX's can handle great and with a little performance mods (suspension) they can really handle terrific. If you want highway speed then go with the supra but I would not trade a brand new car for a used car that have their advantages and disadvantages. If you want styling, handling, power, speed, the "wow, what's that?!?!" then go with the RX7. Just my 2 cents.

FD is the 3rd gen
FC is the 2nd gen
FB is the 1st gen

All FD's are twin turbo charged unless the owner dropped some ca$h and went single.
