This is my car, and I've given it a lot of TLC over the last few years with the intention of keeping it a long time, but back in December I finally drove an FC RX-7 which felt a lot more "me" so to speak - so I'd be interested in trading or selling to make room for one. I'd probably also consider an FRS/86/BRZ. Craiglist ad below, realistically if someone on GRM really wanted to car I could be flexible on price, I listed it relatively high on craigslist to hopefully dissuade tire-kickers.

Curious what kind of MPGs you get with it? My auto sedan was atrocious, but that was also on California's terrible pump gas. I'd be lucky to touch 18mpg most days.
In reply to calteg :
About 18 mpg around town, I've gotten 24 mpg on a long highway trip before if I kept my speeds reasonable, it was worse when I still had the 3.9 open diff.
18mpg?!? my craptastic dodge 1500 ram pickup gets 18 around town...
It's funny you mention an FC and the frisbee twins. I had an NA FC for 5 years back around the turn of the century (still miss it). I test drove a BRZ 10 years ago and it gave me really strong FC vibes. Something about the size, ergonomics, and overall character made it seem like I was in a brand new FC.
Anyways .. GLWS!

I've been told that the two cars have a very similar feel despite the gap in years, I would assume both having the motor down nice and low in the chassis and similar wheelbase/power levels make them feel alike.

My Dodge 1500 got less. You must drive yours nicer than I did :).
