This thread should have been a poll.

I pick no cup holder. Also wish there was more headroom.

More headroom would be great. I hit my head almost everytime I get in and out my car.

I think the interior of rx7's are the worst interiors ever. the plastic is so thin and the fasteners are like *1 time use, 2 times is pushing it * ask anyone that's done an s4-s5 interior conversion

The pathetic stock radio/CD player for those of us committed to keeping it un-moded and pure. And for sure the potential flooding problem.

There is no RHD Infini model in North America.


That's pretty much the only problem I have with the FC3S.

I don't mind my screwed up tps, and the fact that my idle STILL surges. Nor do i mind the fact that when i wear big shoes and hit the breaks i have a tendency to stomp on the gas as well. Actually i find those things mildly cute about the car. The thing that kinda irks me is the fact that my my fuel gauge and speedometer are RETARDED. Who would've figured mazda didn't know how to make gauges properly?

Oh free insurance would be nice too

Phh. Wussies.

You want fuel economics and a cup holder? Get a 1st gen Protege.

When I think no cupholder and bad gas mileage, I think SPORTS CAR!!!

Don't those circle things on the inside of the glove compartment doors count as cupholders? They could potentially hold a cup

Well, a 15 year old car from japan can be imported into Canada with no crash testing or anything, they are exempt. So soon, you can get an Infini IV

where to start... sloppy shifter(brand new shift bushings even), throws are way too long, steering wheel is too big, imprecise clutch, exhaust sounds obnixious, interior fit and finish, sunroof wont pop on its own, stupid squirrel seat belts, weak transmission, gears are too tall, needs a/c, and the car just feels heavy.

I still love my FC, and almost all of those things are going to be worked out soon, its just a matter of time. I really cant explain why my car feels heavy to me, but even though its 200 lbs lighter than my friends S2k, it still feels heavier. And its WAY sloppier, in everything, than the S2k is.

Unhappy biggies

reliabilty and finding a competent mechanic. In the last 15 mon. I have gone through 2 engines and the car has been in the garage 6 months total (and I dont mean mine) the last machanic has had the car for going on 5 mon. the entire summer and I pay 100 bucks/ month to insure it and its been there since late april, whats worse, I only drive it until like mid to late october. I have put 4k miles on the car total. Feel like tossin' in the towel on rx7's quite honestly. maybe get a 944 turbo.
