You may have seen the RX7 referred to by the name Efini. In case you don’t know what that word means, I thought I’d do a short explanation. The answer is, unsurprisingly, simple. Efini was essentially a sub-division of Mazda, which operated between 1991 and 1997. It was brought in as a luxury arm of Mazda, alongside other sub brands called Eunos and Autozam. Eunos was meant to be the care-free, fun to drive brand - typified by the Eunos Roadster, a rebadged MX-5 - while Autozam was the entry level brand - the wicked AZ-1 kei car being a good example of that.

The question I think all mk3 MR2 fans wonder is why is it so often overlooked? A couple of years ago I got to spend a week with the red car you seen in the photos here (that’s not me driving, by the way!) and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The easy answer is to say that it just looks the softest. The mk1 is all angular, and the mk2 looks like a budget supercar, but the mk3 is much less individual in its styling. It was also less powerful than the outgoing model, which will immediately make a lot of people write it off.
