Remember that topic I made a while ago about what car to get? I've narrowed it down.

00-04 B4 Liberty 2.0L Turbo or an RX-7 1.3 13B

Pro's and cons of both? Really torn between them here :\

I can fit in my starlet easy enough :P

I'm only 5'10 or something.

I must say i'm leaning towards the B4 a bit more. I'd consider an Altezza if they were more avaliable in Perth. Don't really want the IS200.

Ever since I considered the liberty i've imagined black body with white rims. RX-7 would more than likely be black, blue or yellow with black rims. Argh so hard to choose between cars haha

RX7's def have more street cred than a b4 liberty. i've had mates who've owned both. the liberty will get boring very fast as its just a daily/cruiser and thats what it was designed for -great car dont get me wrong.
if you buy an RX7 be prepared to be rebuilding motors, and also be prepared to become best friends with your closest BP station if u want to drive it hard. with a rotory engine that makes power high in the rev range and revs to 10k these things are $$$ on fuel

Another thing to take into consideration with Brendan's point is that even though the rotory is classified as a 1.3L, it's actually a 3.9L because of the 3 chambers.
Semantics I know, but that's why they are thirsty.

Haha I don't think i'd be going too hard no matter what power I have. I'm nervous enough taking my 5.7L V8 Stato for a cruise and that's stock haha

Could always look for one of those 3.0L Altezza's with the 2JZs :D

On the boredom note, I don't think I could ever get bored of a car. I've had my starlet for almost two years now and I still love it. Sure i'd like more power but it's still fun :)
