Hi Folks
This is my first post in this forum and posted in both RX8 and 3rd Gen RX7 section so if I posted in the wrong section then may I ask the mods to remove it to the right section please?!
I\'m looking to buy either a RX7 or RX8 as a daily runner but cant make my mind, I dont know much about them so need your feedbacks.
As I said It\'s going to be used as a daily runner and the choice would be either a Reg year 2000+ RX7 or a new RX8, I own a lovely twin turbo supra which will remain as a weekend car :Tongue1
Here is a pic of the Sup incase you were interested and in advance I thank you for any advice and help.

Well...for looks and performance, obviously the 7.
But as a daily driver, I\'m guessing an 8.
But having said that, I do quite a few miles in mine and love it :)
If you got the 7 you would want that as the weekend car ! They are extemely fun.
As a daily driver go for the 8 and convert it to LPG through a local E-gas converter. They handle as good if not better than an FD. They just don\'t have the grunt of an FD. More usable back seats too.

mas, its tharek Roh\'s mate,
I still have my rx so feel free to pop over and have a look drive etc and i can give you some advice - have to agree with the guys above though.
If you are still doing your 500 miles a year in your supe then perhaps it is time for an rx7 to liven things up a bit!!
roh has moved to farnborough and ive moved to houghton regis but still local so give me a shout.

I have an FD as my daily driver (well, when shes on the road, that is, grumble) and find it fine, although not exactly relaxing. I can understand why some people might not want the experience on a daily basis, you do tend to have to be a bit"on it" all the time or it doesn\'t really make sense. I guess the RX-8 would be a more practical alternative.
Liking the Supra, btw, looks proper!
i use my FD as a daily driver...
i heard the RX8 is not a lot better economy wise than an RX7?
(If so ouch to the RX8 owners - at least 7s get the performance out of it!)
I\'d say get a 7!

I don\'t know what you mean. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the replies guys, very helpful advise. I have to have a test drive in both and decide.
Cheers

rx8 as a runner..... good if petrol consumption is low on your list of priorities,
