Daily drivers are supposed to be reliable and good on gas. If I had an SRT4, my RX-7 would look like the better decision for commuting due to the fact that it gets better fuel economy...

I'm HIGHLY doubting that. Considering a LS1 gets better gas mileage over all then a RX-8 I cant see a stock RX-7 getting better gas mileage.

My RX-7 gets 26mpg highway, I've calculated it myself, and thats running rich too... SRT4s apparently get something terrible like 18mpg...

they are junk. good for commuting from work and back. but thats bout it
but that is like saying hardware tools at the dollar store suck

no

its the lowest class car chrysler sells, a base model
all car manufacturers have base models, only fair comments are comparisons between cars in the same class, so for example the neon and a cavi
and even then both got their strong and weak points
