any differences between model years

[Herblenny]

Since I did some research when I bought mine, I'll share..

First of all, Color Yellow only came in 1st year of all rotaries. Some consider to be the most desirable color because Mazda only produce it for first generation and at limited volume. Also, most none rotary enthusiasts hates that color.. Personally its a choice vs rarity (but no one really knows how many yellow were produced... But most yellows I've seen are non-GT).

04 models you want to avoid non grand touring. ONLY GT version came with dual oil coolers.. which later models all came with dual coolers. GT version is heavier but not much heaver due to leather goods and power seats. Compare to cloth seats (which I have) its about 10lbs heavier per side (guestimation by me lifting, and not by weighing). Besides that the engine is exactly the same except automatic.
