Average repair cost: £608.82
Even 9 years on the RX-8 remains a cracking coupe to drive, largely thanks to the impressive 228bhp from its 1.3-litre Rotary engine. Surprisingly the complicated rotary engine is responsible for only 11% of all RX-8 repair claims. Instead the car's electrical system is a much bigger culprit, making up over half of repair claims.
There go the residual values in the UK market then :(
The positive is only 11% are "engine" problems and I'm betting the high cost of the mainly electrical is coming from the coils and the Bose door speakers !!
TYPICAL rubbish from MSN/UK journalist though "complicated rotary engine" ... wtf !!!
