Well I own both a 1st gen and 2nd gen. Heres my opinion: My stock 2nd gen SE is far better then a first gen when it comes to ride quality, driver comfort, great long distance mpg when driven sensibly. My 1st gen with stiff springs and 205 width wheels and strut tower brace makes it corner better then any other car I could afford. Very responsive to turns. However ride quality is poor, rough, and unforgiving, but I feel more confident in its ability to perform. Major problem is the lack of power from idle to 4k because of porting and the 14mpg the way I drive. My favored car would be the 1st gen if it were new, but since its not, I'd opt for a 3rd gen any day for its factory power and superior cornering and handling.

The only RX-7 that came in yellow was the 93 R1, but you can't get it in leather, unless you switch the interior.

I thought that the R1 came with suede leather seats.

Nope, leather was unavailable in R1 and R2 models. Cloth seats were used instead, grips you better in turns. On my Touring model, the leather slip is quite noticable if you're not prepared for it, according to my passengers.

3rd gen is the way I wish to go...

Well I like black cloth but my 89 2.3 already has black cloth and my 89 GT is getting black cloth. I will want some black leather in the RX7...
