of course you havent had any problem with your rx7 in the rain when you live in texas. you guys dont have rain there, it sprinkles. come to washington, the rain state and drive your rx7, youll have a whole different point of view of rx7's in the rain. i agree with the others, i would never drive my rx7 in the snow, thats just suicidal. dont get me wrong, i do drive my rx7 in the rain all the time, but forget about starting on a hill without spinning, and dont give it any gas when driving around a corner. i love my rx7 to death, but if its going to be your only car and you live where it snows, i would buy a truck or an suv, save your money for an rx7 as a summer car. hope that helps, good luck finding a car.

I live in Texas also, it ******* rains violently here. I was looking for Noah and pairs of animals the first bad rainstorm I experienced when I moved here. That said, the FC handles the bad weather just fine.



It also has quite a bit to do with your driving ability. My first car was a Chevelle SS, I drove that car in 8" of snow with no difficulties. Much harder to control than the FC in bad rain. When the first snow of the year hit, I took the Chevelle to a large, open, local parking lot and learned how to control the car properly. The same might be good idea for you next time it rains.

Welcome to the forum.



I drove through the hurricane and never had a problem with traction, as long as you are light on the pedal.




Now the safest car I have felt in in any conditions is an '03 BMW 745i. Now that is a secure feeling car.


I agree to that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png My dads 740iL feels safe as can be.
