Question: is an rx7 a good first car?
Answer: I've owned every gen of RX7, and I recommend either the 1st or 2nd gen for a 1st car. You need to become very good at driving a rear-drive at 10-10ths before getting an FD. The amount of power an FD has mixed with a little bad weather can easily lead to a wreck. Not to mention about it being a money pit.
