A used Mazda RX-7 (FC) is a high-performance, fine-handling sports car for the money - and there's no need to scared of its rotary engine
The steering is light yet direct, and the five-speed manual has a wonderfully purposeful and precise shift. It’s the kind of gearbox you’ll shift purely for the joy of it.
However, the star of the RX-7 show us its rotary engine. First, there’s the sounds it makes. Its signature burble on idle turns to a small as you accelerate. With the turbocharged versions, a whistle soon accompanies that snarl and then turns to a fizz as you near the lofty redline . Another benefit of the rotary engine is that it’s compact and weighs less than a comparable piston engine, and so the RX-7 possesses an agile front end.
The downside, though, is that the rotary engine requires a lot of careful maintenance for it to run smoothly and be reliable. Because most people lust after the FD, which is the best RX-7 to drive, that makes the FC somewhat overlooked and, as a result, not too pricey to buy just now. And it’s a real gem, so pick one before people realise what they’re missing. “Buyers content to measure a car in terms of performance per pound will rate the RX-7 as something of a bargain.
