Apologies for more idle thoughts...
I could do with a slightly more practical motor, given that I\'ve got a ton of two seaters, so - is a Cosmo actually useable as a four seater or are the back seats just ornanments like in an FD?
Also (and this may sound a bit strange), any idea regarding the dimensions of the boot? Is it reasonably big to hold a few people\'s luggage?
And of course the dread question - what\'s the MPG like on a 20B? Or should I asking about GPM?
Well
The rear seats are still pretty useless, better than the FD, just. With the seat where I want it there may be an inch or two of legroom.
The boots not bad, something like 600mm deep 800mm into the car.
Looks like it should be bigger but the 85 ltr tank takes up a lot of space.
MPG, steady motorway, off boost I can get 19 - No figures but you can guess what would happen driving hard.
IMO an absolute dream to drive.........

Hmm, that\'s a bit of a downer. I could probably justify one if I could stack four people in there but that sounds like it\'d be a squeeze.

That sounds quite reasonable, certainly better than the "I have to take the passenger seat out to get the suitcase in" FC :).

"Improving Shell\'s profits" would be my guess :D
Of course if your\'e coming to Brooklands you can have a good look round mine.

I was planning to, need to see how that works out but I was thinking about bringing the FC. Even if it won\'t be as cleaned and polished as Moonwrap\'s...
If you are after a practical 4-seater rotary Mazda then a Cosmo is not for you.
As John said, the rear seats are tight. Fine for small kiddies but thats about it.
To solve this, I have purchased an RX-8. Perhaps thats what you should consider too. The RX-8 is the most practical 4-seater rotary available for the last 15 years.
