I am intending on buying an rx7 (3rd generation) at the end of the year when the insurance man will let me. which is the best model to buy for about 7500.. is there much difference between the single and twin turbo engines. is the any models not to buy and would i be better off buying a jap import or a uk car....
thanks

Welcome

All models are great - main difference is interior equipment.

Not many UK cars were sold so an import would probably be your best bet.  Single turbos go faster an have higher BHP but fuel and engine life goes down and turbo lag increases.  If you want a fun car to drive normally then go for a twin - if you are looking for a fast car that can do some fast 1/4 times then go for a single.

I have a twin so i\'m sure the single guys (cars that is) will have a bit more info.
