I'll Own It Forever — I love it... Even when it just sits in the driveway like a lawn gnome.. I have always wanted a 7 so when I found one I bought it.. But he was a young kid and I'm worried he had know idea how to properly maintain a vehicle

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: Fun car.. Love the rotary roar and the capability of this car

Cons: First non-domestic I've worked on and it's kicking my butt

I Love It — I love it, great price. It has great power and handling after the swap and its nice to be able to let the top down. the swap was a bit of a pain since its a JDM engine but i have a megasquirt on the way and a usdm harness finally. the forums were fairly helpful for the swap if you are preparing to do one just KNOW your rotaries first!!

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: I love the fact that everything on this one is so much simpler to work on then my 3rd gen

Cons: needs a new top :-(

Amazing Fun — Performance- this car has great acceleration and overall engine performance and is a blast to drive, the car brakes and handles amazing given that both areas have been upgraded. The build quality is okay but whoever built it originally did it in a hurry, the interior and exterior of the car are both not the greatest given it is a purpose built car. the cost of ownership is to be determined. This cars fun factor is amazing the car is a blast to drive and the HKS exhaust sounds sick.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: JDM right hand drive

Cons: none

A Must Test Drive. — It's a pleasing car to the eye. Handles well, responses extremely well to the throttle, no bogging, no hics, nothing negative. Gas mileage was rather poor for a 1.3L 165 hp engine... 14-16 mpg is what I could only get. You could say it was because I stomped it a lot or my foot was the problem, yet my 85 mustang gets 13-14 with me laying on it hard every now and then. And its a V8 210 HP motor. Other than that, it was a BLAST to drive, it felt nimble, ready to take anything thrown at it. It performed, handled WELL at screaming speed/rpms. Not to mention the very smooth 7000-9500 RPM roars, compared to my 85 that shakes violently at 5-6k.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: Nimble, rather fast, responsive, downright fun to drive.

Cons: Gas mileage, and a bit expensive to repair, and have to relearn the theory on engines as its a rotary engine not the typical piston engine.

You Will Have To Pry The Steering Wheel From My Cold Dead Hands To Take This Car Away From Me. — Great chassis. Non turbo rotary was a great motor, just not enough power to put me in my place but enough to have fun. Hopefully the torque and power of the LS1 swap will be enough to scare me. Best convertible chassis wise ever made for the price. I hope the big V8 won't tear it apart.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Pros: Great chassis.  Timeless design.

Cons: Gas mileage.

My Turbo Vert — I swapped out the motor for an Arizona Rotary Rockets built 13BT and slapped a GT4094R on it. This is no longer your average vert. She put down 541whp on Q16 and 498whp on pump. From head to toe she's a whole new girl.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: It's a little quick and most of the work was done with my own 2 hands.

Cons: It costs money to go fast.
