I prefer RX7. FC will be higher than normal car due to Turbo charged
engine. RX7 more suitable for 2nd car or weekend car not daily car.

A Bugatti?



RX7 fuel consumption will kill you. 6-7km/litre at default boost. Less
when you up it.

FTO is ok ler, not prefer as not really a performance machine IMO.

Mazda RX7 FC3S has very high fuel consumption, is 20 years old, not
eligible for loan or insurance.

Basically you are talking about a car with internals about to fail due to
age. Even if you find a good condition one you have to bear that risk.

It does 6.5km/litre at most. Please compare this to Kancil which does
18km/litre or more. The running cost is very damn high when you count
fuel and the fact that this engine eats oil as well and runs damn hot -
dont get stuck in traffic.

No loan means you fork up cash, maybe about 20K. Insurance means when
things go wrong, you cant claim and have to fork out more cash.


For daily drive and comfort, choose FTO. Much much better choice. There
are version rated from 120-170-200 PS. The majority of FTO I have found
in Malaysia are the inline 4 with 4 speed auto. If you can, find the V6
and 5 speed auto.
