I have been targeting one of the third generation rx-7's for several years. One thing that has always bothered me is the fact that you almost never see one with its original engine, unless it has less than 30,000 miles on it.

There are plenty of other vehicles out there - like the mr2 turbos, supra, 300zx, mustangs, s2000's, etc. that people modify and they are still on their original engine.

As much as I would love to own one of these some day it's disheartening to see that apparently these cars do not hold up to any abuse and/or they were not put together well at the factory. I love mazdas and have had great success with the two that I've owned.

Can anyone tell me that this is a good and reliable car? I don't have any plans on jacking the boost up to 25psi or anything...just leave it stock and drool at it in the garage

 

If it bothers you so much, then get something else. Please read the FAQ thread before creating new threads on general topics. Thanks.
