@vexor:: quick question...are you bobby by any chance? if so i bought my rx8 from you LOL

@op:: the 1st gear clunking noise is normal. i got an 08 and it happens once in awhile. the tranny making sounds while it's in gear is definetly not a normal thing.
for the flooding issue as long as you warm your car to the proper operating temperature before shutting it off youll be fine. if you do flood it theres DIY unflooding threads on rx8club.

i'm currently an rx8 owner and i personally feel it's a fantastic car. gives me the luxury i want ie leather seats. And as jeremy clarkson said. It's not the most economical engine nor does it have the most power..you'll have to rev the hell out of it to go zoom zoom. The car is very composed on corners even in stock form and the exhaust note even stock is quite rewarding. I get alot of people bashing about my car too but in the end it's what makes you happy that counts. Hell I still get a grin on my face everytime i drive my car.

only thing i wished is that i got black..
