2010 Mazda RX-7 - I love the look and the driving experience of this car.
The one thing that I really love about this car is the size of it. From always owning small compact cars but wanting an SUV this crossover is the perfect step for me, when trying to find a SUV I was overwhelmed with the size of most of them out there and I found myself not feeling comfortable behind the wheel of them. When I tried out this Mazda RX-7 the I was comfortable and found the size to be perfect for what I wanted and needed, it gave me a little more room than what I was use to but not to much that I felt lost. The one thing that I disliked about it at first was this annoying dinging that would sound at odd times, I could not for the life of me figure it out and it was starting to get frustrating.

The one thing that I disliked about it at first was this annoying dinging that would sound at odd times, I could not for the life of me figure it out and it was starting to get frustrating. I tried doing research online about the problem but I did not have any luck locating annoying seeming to have the same issue as I was. Then all of a sudden while driving I realized what the noise was, this car is equipped with the blind spot package and it just so happens that when the blind spot notification is on when you put your blinker on to turn into the next lane it is giving you a warning so you know someone is next to you. I feel the quality of the vehicle compared to the price was great, I feel as if I got all of the things that I wanted and a price that was lowering than I wanted. I feel the car performs well when being driving in typical driving conditions I have not had the opportunity to see how it handles in snowy conditions but if I were to base my thoughts about how it will handle in the snow I would say I have nothing to worry about should the occasion to drive in the snow arises.
The only memorable story I have using this vehicle around my location was one day when I was shopping with my son and we were finished and walking back to the vehicle. I happened to be parked next to a similar looking car and when my son and I came around this other car to get to ours we see this women looking frazzled with her hand on my door handled, I say excuse me is there something I can ...

The only memorable story I have using this vehicle around my location was one day when I was shopping with my son and we were finished and walking back to the vehicle. I happened to be parked next to a similar looking car and when my son and I came around this other car to get to ours we see this women looking frazzled with her hand on my door handled, I say excuse me is there something I can help you with and she said no not really I'm just having a hard time getting into my car, so I unlock the doors with my key fob, the look on her face was priceless when she realized her car was parked next to mine. With her face red she continued to apologize and say she was in a rush and so busy on her phone she didn't even notice or hear the beep of or car locking and unlocking behind her as she pressed her remote.
The top positive things of this vehicle is the blind spot package. The blind spot package comes in really handy when you are driving down the highway in traffic but the traffic is still moving pretty freely, it give you an extra set of eyes in way because it gives you a back up for knowing when there is enough space between you and the car next to or behind you so you can move over with a little less nervousness. Another feature that I find to be a positive is the back up camera, it really comes in handy when you need to parallel park between two cars and no one is with you to help you. Th... (more)

Another feature that I find to be a positive is the back up camera, it really comes in handy when you need to parallel park between two cars and no one is with you to help you. The built in navigation is helpful when I am traveling to a new area because using the navigation system that is built in to the vehicle leaves my phone free in cause I need it in an emergency. I also love the satellite radio, even though it is an extra service that I have to pay phone it is so nice to not have to listen to all the talking and commercials that they have on regular radio, however you still have the option of listening to normal radio if you want all you have to do is press a button to switch. My most favorite thing about this vehicle is that ability to have my phone synced to the car so that I am able to answer my phone hands free while using the speakers in the car.
As much as I love the vehicle and have a lot of positive things to say about it there are a few negative things about it also. The one thing I find to be the most negative is the fuel efficiency, I would have liked for it to get better gas mileage per tank than it does. Some of the negative things that I have come across also happen to be part of the positive things that I love. I really feel like there are good and bad points to everything, for example for as much as I love the blind spot package there is a negative aspect to it also.

I really feel like there are good and bad points to everything, for example for as much as I love the blind spot package there is a negative aspect to it also. Sometimes when I am driving down a road without other cars around me the blind spot indicator will go off, its not big negative but it is annoying. Another thing that is a negative is the key fob, for whatever reason even after chaining the battery sometimes it just will not unlock the car, even being the correct distance away. Even thought it does have a built in key so you are never really locked out of your car it is hard to take out when your hands are loaded with bags. Another thing that is a negative and really annoying is when I get in my car and my phone will sync but it won't allow you to hear the radio playing for some reason. I will thing go into my phone settings and disconnect it so the radio is able to be used but not more than two minutes later it is doing the same thing and I find the only way to fix the problem is to turn off the Bluetooth on my phone so it will no longer connect. This is my biggest negative because if my phone rings I am no longer able to answer it since the phone is not synced with the car at this point.
1984 Mazda RX-7 - Old school and love it
My vehicle is a 1984 Mazda Rx-7. It's an old car and has old parts under the hood, but it's a great car. It performs well in terms of speed and maneuverability, being a sports car, but it's not very good on gas mileage because it has a four-barrel carburetor inside of it. For the engine's size which is a rotary engine and only 1.1 liter, it is very quick. I like the sportiness of the car and the physical look of it as a sports car, which looks even sportier because it has a body kit on it. I also like the interior, which is as old school as the car itself: all original with a tape player and velvet upholstery. I generally get a compliment almost everywhere I take the car, whether it's the gas station or grocery store or out to eat. Some people have even offered to buy the car from me. ... (more)

Overall, my favorite thing about the car is its performance and its looks, but it also has low insurance payments due to being an old car. It's definitely a sweet old school car that requires a little bit of maintenance here or there but is a wonderful drive every time I go out for anything.
I would be at the gas station, and people would come up to me either complimenting my car or telling me they wanted to buy it and making an offer. This also happened at restaurants, theaters, friends' apartment complexes, and pretty much everywhere I take it.

There aren't a lot of luxury features with the car since it's so old, but there are lots of positive things about it. First, I bought the car for only 2,500 dollars as a used car when I first purchased it, which is pretty cheap for the value of the car and the enjoyability factor of the car. It's a really fast car and can get 0-60 miles per hour fairly quickly, getting me places fast and allowing the use of aggressive defensive driving. For a rear-wheel drive car, it has really good handling possibly because it's very light. It can take tight turns and drift around curves. The engine is lo... (more)

For a rear-wheel drive car, it has really good handling possibly because it's very light. It can take tight turns and drift around curves. The engine is loud for its size and sounds very sporty also. Aside from the performance of the Mazda Rx-7 as a sports car, again it's a very sporty car and gets compliments from almost anyone that sees it when it's parked anywhere. It's a fairly unique-looking car and is distinguished from almost any other car on the road. It will turn heads anywhere it's driven, and this is a good feeling of satisfaction being behind the wheel and having ownership of the car. It also has low insurance because of its age.
For one, the Mazda Rx-7 has bad gas mileage because it has a large carburetor under the hood, and it's not tuned well for having such a small engine. It gets less than ten miles per gallon in the city and maybe just over that on the highway. The engine that the car has also eats a little bit of oil because it is a rotary engine, and oil needs to be added to the engine semi-regularly. The inside of the car is not that classy since it's old and taken a little bit of wear over the years and has minimal technology updates since it was manufactured.

The inside of the car is not that classy since it's old and taken a little bit of wear over the years and has minimal technology updates since it was manufactured. Some of the upholstery could use some replacements to be more stylish. It still has the original tape cassette player inside of it. There's also not a lot of room inside the car for passengers because it seats two, and the trunk space is not the large as it's a small car. Being a really nice sports car, police are more prone to pull it over or check to make sure it's not going over the speed limit. Also, being so old, there's a chance that parts need to be replaced periodically but nothing too expensive if it's got a swapped engine and transmission under the hood.
2017 Mazda RX-7 - Nice ride.
I really like this car for its get up and go ability. It was a choice for me between getting this car and getting a bigger Honda SUV. I ultimately went with this car after a test drive, and realizing how zippy it is.

The test drive was great. I was not expecting it to be that fast and accelerate that quickly.

As I said before, it is very zippy. It just speeds around almost as if it was a go kart. I really also like the gas mileage. It seems like I don't have to stop and get gas as much as I did with my last car. It also looks very sleek and I feel confident riding it around town that I don't look like I'm cheap.

One con I would list that really isn't a fault of the car itself is that it is so new that I am unsure how it will stand up over the test of time. I want to make sure that it gets me where I need to go into many years in the future. Sometimes I instinctively do not mesh with the in house controls and buttons, but I think that's something that will go away.
