It's A Great Car For College Students — Fun rear-wheel drive, rotary engine. Amazingly low idle rpm. Poor gas mileage and I had too much modifications so I ended up getting some kids tried to drag race with me like in Initial D quite a few times. But I just ignored them. Good handling and a lot of fun to drive a stick shift. The stereo I had was amazing as well. He and I went on many trip together and lots of great memories. I did most of the maintenance work on this car myself. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: great fun car Cons: poor gas mileage |

Fc3c S4 — Rotary Lead the way. Rotary power is a beast. good for high torque and power output. smooth and constant power band. hi revs and great for that Drift nut and his friends and family and a fun daily driver. it always turns heads and attracts attention anywhere and everywhere you and it goes. the driver/owner and the car get mad respect and sometimes attracts the wrong attention and police tend to notice it. but not so often though. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Perfection Cons: nothing to hate its perfectino |

One Word Fun — If only it was turbo it would have been perfect. By far the best handling car I ever drove. With traction or with no traction you could put the car anywhere with seemingly no effort. Steering was extremely sensitive and tight (favorite part about the car). No complaints except for the stupid shift light and buzzer that went off if you hit redline. Gas mileage is horrid. Never had to fix anything on the car. As long as you check your oil and add accordingly (made to burn some oil) and do all the little tricks, like rev when shutting down to get extra gas out and not letting it sit too long letting the seals dry out, this car will give no problems Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: One of the funnest cars to drive Cons: Gas mileage and almost always sounds horrible at lower rpms no matter what you do with the exhaust |

Jump In A Mazda And Drive One Today — Performance- many mods, it might as well fly. Build Quality- lets put it this way when they came out with the 05 mustang they built them in Mazda American plants were the rx-8 hails from for quality and precision what more can i say Mazda always had it going on. Appearance- pics are a little old has new front bumper besides that has small scratches here and there it is an 86 barley any rust. Cost of Ownership- pull the check book, and it can burn holes in your pocket but i worked most of that out. Fun Factor- 10 outta 10 Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: rotary engine, llite wieght, two seater, nissan eater, honda smoker Cons: need rotary know how |

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: its not a honda! and its rear wheel drive.... Cons: it takes a lot of attention and care |

None Finer For A Guy With No Kids And A Skinny Wife — I loved the high revving horsepower, the brakes kept me out of trouble and it handled like a housefly. everything was ergonomically perfect in the interior and the seating postion made you at one with the car. perfect 50/50 weight ratio. Mileage sucked ass but repairs were nil as there were very few moving parts in a rotory motor. Mine wasn't laoded with all the gear which probably made it faster if not more visually appealingIt compared in stature to the Porche 924 but squashed it in every measurable and asthetic aspect. It was the Perfect 2 seater coupe!!!! Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: PERFORMANCE!! Cons: bad mileage, no back seat |

Rx-7 — Performance - No torque, perfectly balanced road ripper. Good build quality, however the wankel does come with its own set of trouble. Poor gas mileage if you like hearing high rpms... An utter blast to drive. It handles as if it were on rails, and is hard to beat in the twisties... Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Performance Cons: Wankel, gas mileage |
