I had an '84 RX7 GSL-SE that I bought new. It was a real rocket. That model had the 13B engine, bigger brakes, bigger wheels and tires, better clutch, beefed up anti-sway bars and limited slip rear end. I drove it for 8 years, put about 90K miles on it. No problems at all except near the end it developed a howl in the rear end that was going to cost about $1800 to fix so I traded it in on a '92 Toyota MR2 with the NA engine. The MR2 was fun to drive with good handling & brakes but way underpowered. That car was less than reliable. It had major problems with the A/C, developed an oil leak down around the spark plug hole, a loose engine mount and only got about 8000 miles on a set of rear tires while the fronts went about 25,000 miles before needing replacing. I drove it for 12 years about put about 120k miles on it. It was an expensive car to own and maintain. I sure liked the Wankel rotary engine, too bad they couldn't work out the bugs.
