They're the same thing, to my knowledge. I thought it was the touring in '93, and then the touring became the PEP in '94 and '95, as the R1 became the R2.

The only difference that I can think of is that the PEPs did not have the Bose stereo system. but it does have

sunroof
removable rear cargo cover
leather seats
fog lights

Close.

PEP, same as Touring except:

No Bose
No fogs
No rear wiper
Metal sunroof (94 Tourings had glass, 93s had steel).

Effectively they are the same cars. Buy the best condition car you can find, don't worry about which model it is.

According to the information that I've seen, for 1994 there were 1,393 5-speed Touring models imported, 295 more Touring models with automatic transmissions, and 910 5-speed PEP models.

I have one of the last two new 1995 PEPs (or 3rd gen. RX-7s period, for that matter) imported into the United States. Both were equipped with fog lights.

My 95 PEP does not have the CD player, just the tape deck. I'm guessing the cd player was an add-on option to the PEP package or maybe Mazda even changed it near the end of the 95 run (I have an early 95).

Here is what I was told from the guy that I bought my 95 PEP from, he bought it new and said they were a little flexable with some of the options. It kinda makes sence cause my 95 has a cd player and rynberg's didnt.

I also believe in 94 it was actually called PEG and in 95 is was called PEP. Why they changed it I have no idea, its prob close to the same thing.

Anyway, my 95 PEP has-
fog lights
cargo cover
metal sunroof
standard stereo/tape/cd player (ie, no bose)
leather seats

no spoiler or front lip
no bose
no rear wiper

The glass sunroof can be added to a 93 Touring either from buying one new or buying a used one.

I did a warranty report on my 94, Mazda lists it as a PEP.

As for the fog lights. It seems everyone that has a PEP with factory fog lights has a 95. It seems as if Mazda changed that for 95?

Does anyone have a 94 sales brochure and/or a 95 sales brochure? Scan that puppy in and post it/them.

I have a 93 brochure, glass sunroofs aren't listed.

Among other stupid *** **** (pardon my French) that the dealership did when I bought my car, they also threw away the window sticker, which I specifically asked them to save. They also managed to lose the cover to the battery box somehow, not that I particularly wanted it. And they were supposed to order black carpet and seats for the car as part of the deal (originally tan interior, Montego Blue exterior) but I noticed some interesting figures on my paperwork and they had to refund the money they charged me. But other than that...

I have a '95 brochure, but I had to buy it off eBay. The dealership had one brochure, but the ******* salesman (pardon my French) wouldn't ******* give it to me.

Even if the car weren't such a fiscal pain in the ***, and even if the only other Mazda I've ever owned hadn't coughed out its head gasket at 10,000 miles (bought new), I wouldn't buy another Mazda just based on the idiocy of their dealers. The only semi-bright star I've found among the turds is Tim in the parts department at University Mazda in Seattle.

I've got a 94 PEP also. I have read in places that the 94 is supposed to be PEG and the 1995 is PEP, but I managed to get the original key ring from the dealer and it says 1994 PEP clear as day. Who knows. Maybe the dealer didn't know the difference.

By the way, I had bought my car with low miles so I know almost it's entire history since new. That is how I ended up with the key ring. Just thought I would add that incase anyone was wondering.

I have the original window sticker from my 1994 PEP/PEG.

I have the original 1994 sales brochure.

I have numerous references quoting different things about the package options.

My window sticker lists the car as a "RX7 PE P" model, just like that. However, underneath of optional equipment it lists group 1PE, which is dubbed the Popular Equipment Group.

Mazda lists only three things included in their 1994 Popular Equipment Group per the sales brochure: "Sliding sunroof with tilt-up ventilation feature, removable rear cargo area cover and leather seating surfaces."

The Popular Equipment Group, Touring Package and R-2 Package are the listed Option Packages per this brochure as well.

I've got the 93,94,95 US brochures(as well as several Japanese brochures) and second your comment on the '94 PEG(page 24 for reference). From the '95 brochure(page 22) PEP is listed for the first time in any of the US brochures. In addition to the 3 items listed for the '94 PEG, it has a fourth added feature which is "Halogen Fog lights"

PEP and R2 are the only 2 options packages listed. No where is the rear spoiler listed as a standard feature on the PEG/PEP. By comparison, the '94 Touring has 7 different features listed compared to the 3 listed for the '94 PEG. Besides the items mentioned previously by others like the Bose, it also lists upgraded sound insulation and removable rear cargo cover as standard features.

Like Jeff said, I think foglights may have been standard on the 95's cause my 94 PEG doesn't have them along with a few other 94's I've seen.
