I still love the way it looks. It's a VERY nice car... but I just don't enjoy driving it. I feel like I'm hurting it when I step on the gas! It's like asking your beautiful but lazy girlfriend to do something for you...
I got it to be reliable, efficient, comfortable, and something I didn't hate driving. So far, it has been perfectly reliable. There seems to be an oil leak, but since I've owned it, the levels have not changed... so it's not anything to be concerned about. It probably gets 1-2 mpg more than a rotary will, and 3-8 less than the NA MR2 (the 1st gen) should get. It IS comfortable... it would be more so if the heat worked!
The enjoyment factor is apparently quite important to me. I just have no love for this car. I look at it and say "man, that's a nice car!" I sit in it and say "yeah, this is comfy!" I drive it and say "oh yeah... now I remember..."
If I get an RX7, will I play with it? Probably. Still, the first 3 days I had the Volvo, I priced all sorts of performance things... It's in my blood. I have to accept the fact that I WILL mess with whatever I get! My wife can have the bone-stock car.
I don't intend on going nuts with whatever I get. I still want to make the CB7 into the monster I envision. Still, I'll probably do some basic stuff to whatever car I find myself with. If I get a turbo car, I'll most likely get a good boost controller at the very least!
