Hey I'm Cordt I've had a FB and am currently driving an N/A FC as a daily driver slash very gradual project car...people can think what they want about rotaries but they are quite reliable, I just hit 250,000 on mine about a week ago. The engine is the only thing on both cars I've never had a problem with (other than occasional cold weather flooding)

 

Considering your locale, that's a great thing to read!

Welcome aboard, Cordt, and find another FB!

I would buy a GSL-SE in a second.

Mine was an '82 so I didn't like the manual choke, and how the carb iced up driving in extremely heavy snow. It would start running on one rotor and just barely have enough power to maintain highway speed :P
It was a bit more "raw", peppy and fun than my current one, and looked a hell of a lot better.. but the FC is a much nicer DD.

 

Given your geography, I fully understand the desire for a somewhat reliable DD!

 

haha yeah it sucks when it dies half way to work in the middle of nowhere on a -40 winter morning (damn alternator!)

people were saying it would be a horrifying winter car because of it being light and RWD but i just slapped some studded tires on and it was fine. also very, very fun :P
