I'd figured that the people who are interested on buying the rx8 will look at this thread too. I bought mine new back at 07' and it has been very reliable since. Like most of the post here. You have to do your homework on how to maintain such a fine machine because it's not an econobox and it shouldn't be treated as one. Even having said that, maintenance is not such a big deal. one of them is the need to check the dipstick once in awhile, which we should do on most of our cars anyway. Another is not to turn off the engine when its cold, which might foul the plugs and flood the engine. But this issue has been address on some tsb too. And of course the regular scheduled maintenance work. There is a rx8club site where you can get tons of information on how to make most the it.
Like most information on the internet. I believe the most accurate reviews comes from knowledgeable individuals who have used it. Because it's so easy to trash talk on any thing with out any concrete backing or just coming from hearsay.
Rx8 is known for its driving dynamics, a very well balance car and the linear power delivery of it's rotary engine. If you who are looking for tons of torque, then you are looking at the wrong car and get a Mustang instead. But if you like working the gear box, touching the 9k redline once in awhile and just enjoy the pleasure of driving. Then welcome to the select few happy rx8 owner. Like someone had said earlier, its like driving an s2000 with a roof and a back seat
