The FD will alway hold a special place in my heart. I was a proud owner of a '93 RX-7, bought new in '93 when they were first released in the US.

Those that say the RX-7 is unreliable have never owned a "stock" RX-7. Most of the trouble was caused by kids not knowing what they were doing trying to add more power, or even some who knew what they were doing, but pushed their mods too far.

My '93 RX-7 wasn't perfect, but was fairly trouble free 'till the day I sold it in '98. Mazda continued to enhance the car over the years, I'm sure the '02 models are far better reliability wise compared to the early year models.

Problem here in the US is all that's left are tired worn out '93-'95 examples. Most, if not almost all, have mods on 'em.

I'd love to own a pristine stock '99+ JDM RX-7. But they're just not legal here in the US. Sigh...
