Offered to Trade for a New Car, Even-Steven
I owned a 1998 Ford Mustang with all of 12 miles on it that was totaled in 3 months due to another careless driver. I vowed never to get a new car again, and so I bought this vehicle. I had previously owned a 1985 Mazda RX-7 GS prior to the Mustang, and I adored it until the repairs were about as costly as a car payment. After a long term relationship with the previous RX-7, I was thrilled to purchase another one. The 88 RX-7 Convertible I owned was black with grey leather interior, a standard short throw transmission (only way to go!), and the top was actually hard in the middle and could be removed to make a "Targa" roof. Power everything (windows, door locks, antennae) made that an awesome car for me, and I couldn't imagine affording one back in 1988 when they were actually released. The engine is an ode to artistry in mechanics: it is a 2 rotor Wankle rotary engine, so light a strong man can lift it. The lightweight body and engine with virtually no "red-line" made this car an awesome vehicle to own. More than once I've been asked what kind of car it is, but the best was seeing a 2002 Mustang owner, back in the day, saying he would trade his vehicle outright for mine (both were paid off), even-Steven. I told him my vehicle may be 18 years older than yours, but you and I know it's way better, so no thanks!"

A great classic Japanese sports car.
The Mazda Rx7. A classic sports car from the end of an era where lightweight, rear-wheel drive cars were the go to for fun and excitement. The Rx7 started as one of the first mass produced platforms for the 1.3 Liter Rotary motor. Making over 200 horsepower from the factory with its turbocharged motor, with only weighing a little over a ton with the driver, it was fun to drive and had exactly what you were looking for if you were in the market. I bought my first one at the age of 18, looking for something cheap and fun. I spend the next few years driving it as a commuter. Within the next 2 years I picked up another one to use as a track car, and that is where the fun began. I fixed it up quite a bit and hit the track. This is where it shined. I've never had so much fun. It gave me years of fun before I finally had to get rid of it. Still my favorite car to this day.

Satisfied with my purchase
Overall I am please with my vehicle. The cargo area is decent size, especially for traveling with two children. My satisfaction with the car is definitely positive. All mechanical updates have been reasonable, and in the past five years we really have not had an major problems with the car.
