    Default RX7 or S2000

    So I have been torn between my RX7 and a S2000 for about a week now and figured I should check in here and see what people think.

    RX7
    Faster
    Rare
    but
    Bad on Gas, Insurance and not as reliable (so costs more to fix and has caused me stress because I worry about what could happen even though mine has been supper reliable.

    S2000
    Convertable
    Cheap on Gas and Insurance
    More Reliable

    if you have the resources (money) and the time (working on your car alot) and the love (who doesn't), go for the rx7!

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    RX-7!!!! Mazda for life!!!

    but in reality, if you wnat lower maintance cost, S2K is definity the way to go/ BUt then, of course, you have to pay to play.

    rx-7 is my opinion, if you are sick of it though, try out the s2000, not a big fan of the car (don't know much about it) but you might like it
    ...foolish would be buying a car that is no fun to drive.

    i would personally go for the s2k, but as previously stated, if u have the money for gas/maintenance/insurance, go for the rx7.

    S2000

    For the reliability and the performance. I don't think the two are off on performance TOO much...

    I voted the S2k...because if you get a newer one you get a lil warranty...which is always nice...

    having owned an FC before I am kinda familiar with the work involved in making an FD a daily driver...it's not that bad, BUT it not easy either.

    as for driving...they are TOTALLY different cars...even though both hold a 50/50 weight bias...the FD is a BLAST to drive...whereas the S2k...it's nice...and a 9G redline is a hoot...but man oh man FD's are hot, and more rare...

    But the reliability and ease of maintenace wins the S2K over for me...

    i love the s2000! as u can see! but it is not cheap on gas at all!
    its a 50 L tank that takes octane 91.... and u only get like 325-350 kms off a tank....

    its way more reliable then a rx7... parts for the s2000 are expensive though, another thing which was surprising for me.... a stock clutch is like 1g... i was very surprised!

    I voted RX7, I love those cars. S2K's aren't bad, but they just don't do it for me.

    Vote currently tied at 18-18. We're not helping much, are we?

    tied at 20 20 wow

    i say rx-7 cause when i see one i still turn my head. most porches dont turn my head but rx-7's do.

    like james mentioned keep it cause you know how it works, you know everything about your car.

    s2000 is a great car, dont get me wrong, but i admire the rx-7's mroe.

    I like the rx-7 slightly more, but keep in mind that it will be 10 years older than the s2k.
