Default Wanting a new car...Anyone know anything about RX7s

I've had my fiesta SI for about 3 years and am now looking to replace it with something a little cooler. Was looking at rx7’s but I don’t know anything about them.

Could anyone explain the variations, engines available, uk models etc?

Thanks for your help

Lucy

Only 124 or 126 UK models were sold here. Uk models have sun roof, some are autos and no rear seats, and leather with cruise control

They're horrible in the wet, brutally quick, and are about 3ft square. You must be under 4ft to drive one comfortably, and you can fit under articulated lorries.

Doesn't stop me from going 'YYYAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!' whenever I get in one and planting my right foot to the floor though

And the rotor tips need doing at 60k or so but from what I gather, it's not the big deal everyone makes it out to be, only what I've been told though.
