Not sure if you guys are familiar with rotary (Wankel) engines, but here's my foreign.
Originally wasn't impressed with most of Mazda's cars until I drove this beauty, it handles like a dream, and is so fun to drive. I enjoy driving this over my friend's old SRT-4, and his 06' GT rustang.
Here's some pictures, lemme know what you think! (One of them was when I first got it, had bald tires.)
Also, it's a 2004.

It's a nice looking car, but these cars have a lot of issues. I'm not trying to be a dick and rain on your parade lol, I just hate seeing people get screwed, if you want the list of problems let us know and we'll let you know what we know.

Oh no man, I've had it for a while now. The rotary engine just needs a little extra care, but it's a great car if you take care of it properly.
Oil change every 3k, adding fresh oil every other fillup (rotary engines are made to eat oil like its nothing) and let it warm up for 10ish minutes from cold start.
I've seen a LOT of problems, and I was aware when I bought it luckily proper care is easy, many people make simple mistakes that could be drastically crucial to the engine life.

I would do an oil change every 2k miles.. these are notorious for needing a rebuild at 100k miles..

I was going to get an RX-8 but then I heard nothing but bad news about it and I'm getting either a Mustang, Challenger, or Camaro now

yay another rotar. Rotarys are fine if looked after properly. People treat them like cylinder engines and then complain they blow a seal.
I myself have a 1984 rx7 with a 13b resi. Don't forget to redline it every once and a while, don't want that carbon build up!

i was going to buy one of these when i was looking for a car,im glad i test drove it first because i think its one of the worst cars i have ever driven,you have to go everywhere at full throttle to get any performance out of them and when you do you can see the oil draining out of it,fill it up with petrol and you have to put a litre of oil in as well,the ride is so harsh that going over a small bump with physically break your spine,the suspension is so hard,they look nice but thats all they have going for them,all that matters is you like yours
