So, I'm thinking about getting a FD..

First:

http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/38688945.html


Next, I've heard that a lot of RX7 has problems with its cooling system and what not. Is there anything else I should look out for? Thanks in advance.

Get ready to invest some money into reliability mods if it doesnt already have them (radiator, fan switch, aluminum AST tank). Also, there isnt a single thing for this car thats cheap about it - that not only goes for modding it but fixing it too.

Would you guys say that the RX7 wasn't made to be a daily driver?

I daily drive mine. If you plan ahead and take a lot of preventative maintanence its not hard. Just dont rag on it every time you drive somewhere. Only complaint is fuel economy. Be prepared to pay out the *** for gas.

Something else to consider. They are 12 years old too.

Back in 92, Mazda never knew the series-6 (92-95) would be the only version into the USA.
