well now that I am single and can do whatever and buy whatever I want I am trying to get another car. well not trying haha getting another car very soon. I am looking at getting either a toyota soarer twin turbo or the mazda cosmo with the 20b twin turbo. now Ive had a rotary car before so I know it can be expensive to fix. but seriously between both cars which would be a better choice and which has more options luxury wise??

if you get the 20B comso be prepared to watch your fuel guage fall in real time

wow I really like my rotary cars and have dreamed of owning a 20b car but the soarer seems nicer and well every vote is for the soarer hahaha. I don't think I want to maintain a rotary engine again though. i had an rx7 and while they are fun to drive when they break it's expensive i figure the cosmo would fall into that category as well of fun to drive expensive to own haha. well just need to save a bit more money then talk to some people about bringing me a soarer over from japan thanks guys. and plus is the soarer same as a lexus sc300 and sc400 except with a way better engine??

Yes same body as the Lexus SC300 (2JZ-GE-3.0Liter inline six) and the SC400(1UZ-FE-4.0Liter DOHC 32 Valve V8)

Soarer, simply put...1JZ-GTE baby

Soarer without a doubt, I was just reading some old car mags on the NA version ,wow, on a car and driver test, for comparison sakes the Acura Legend LS Coupe got 83/100, the Lexus? 97/100. AMAZING

thanks for the input guys. I just want something classier than my civic and still be able to go fast found one of those I would like to get and well the price is way smaller than I would of thought for a car like that. and plus its still a cloth interior as I hate leather haha. will be by this spring I will be getting this once I have done a few more little things to the civic. then I will have 2 nice cars and no girlfriend to nag me about it hahahah
