Hello people.

Upgrading from my astra and im defiantly getting a jap super car next. Im torn between a supra TT and an RX7 at the moment.

Spoke to a few members on an rx7 owners club and they say the fuel consumption on the rx7 is really bad (15-20ish mpg). What would it be like on a supra TT? This is going to be my daily, I know its not going to be brilliant but 15mpg is taking the piss.

Any info appreciated.

Thanks

Mite mildly tune it aswell

Welcome, the prius is jap isnt it

not to quick though

I get anything from 18-22mpg as an average from my TT. You can easily get less by using the go pedal more though

You won't have to rebuild the engine every weekend either, like the rex

yer not to keen on rebuilding it every time i want jump on the loud pedal. 22mpg seem quite reasonable

For durability the Supra wins hands down, I love RX7 but reliability can be an issue.

As you are looking for a daily driver the Supra would be my choice

what power do you think is possible with a few simple bolt on performance upgrades?

Search for BPU on here, its well documented

From a TT? Click here --> BPU

That should release a few extra horses for comparably little cost.

Not a lot of scope from an NA without huge financial outlay unfortunately. If you're after the power and modding, I'd say look for a TT. Just take it easy if it's your first RWD car Some on here would probably recommend against a TT as a first RWD car - they can be twitchy!

I get 22-32mpg. 32mpg is the extreme though on a steady m'way cruise. 22 is just general driving taking it fairly easy. possibly getting slightly less now though as I'm getting used to the power

Good luck with your decision

and thats a lot of replies in less than 20mins, were the rx7 guys so quick to help :)

You have to look at the whole picture when making decisions like this. drive them both and then buy a supe

32mpg?! Did you push the car half of the way on that journey and then average it out?! Best I've ever had (when I've calculated it - I don't usually bother) from a full tank is about 23.5. Worst is about 14

lol, Nope was 70-85 all the way fair bit of backroad driving. couple of 'plays' and couldn't have been more accurate with my working out. 22-24 is just general use not had the car long so Spirited driving is the exception rather than the rule at the mo'

I don't use the Supra as a daily drive, so when I go out in her, she tends to get driven a little more enthusiastically than normal Even on motorway journeys with cruise control on I don't seem to get more than 23!

Back on topic: I do like the look of RX-7's, just not so keen on the upkeep required by the engine

Official stats are 18 - 22 or 18 - 21 I think.

I didnt get ask many replies from the rx guys but they where helpful aswell. This wont be my first rwd car but it will be my first powerful rwd car, had a few low powered bmws in the past. Drove a DB9 once but it was kak, rather drive my astra round a track lol

welcome aboard....
