if i get a tubby is it going to be a ticking time bomb? or is this simply a flooding of the market with loads of cheap imports that have had poor history hence why they are cheap?

i'd also love an rx7 fd, but for the same reasons i have not got one due to not wanting to rebuild the engine once a year.

what are these cars like in YOUR experience? will it take 12k miles a year without being off the road half the time?
