My RX8 is getting real close to hitting 100k miles. It time for brakes, tires, springs, and shocks. My extended warranty has just expired along with the engine warranty. I am on my own now when comes to repair bills. I am thinking of just putting the money for the above parts and labor as a down payment on a Mazda 3 or a Hyundai Veloster. Give me your honest opinion, is a guy who has no time and money to play with sports cars anymore with a small family need to move on?

All honesty for your family i would say yes it is get sum thin that'll save you a ton of time and money. This car is meant for someone who will take care of it and has the money to throw at it for gas and oil :P and new engine if compression fails.
You'll have money to spend on the fam :D and this car is expensve XD.
Both cars are pretty good if your gonna get em XD i like the 3 more in my opinion
Go with what you feel is right though :D

Buy a MazdaSpeed 3

It's pretty quick, reliable and practical

Do what's right and get a practical car for you and your family. For myself, we have a Mazda 6, and i don't have to trade my rx8 anytime soon...

As much as I want to suggest to keep the car, I believe letting it go is the best thing to do. Get a Mazdaspeed 3 or a Veloster Turbo and have the best of both worlds. OR, the new Mazda 6! Man do I love the design on that car...

Its a known fact the EightCostsMoney lol. If you're dead set on trading it in, i'd say go with the 3, a reliable small family car.

my brother has a veloster, pretty nice looking car. A turbo veloster would be sick, as his is damn slow.

^If OP's looking for turbo he could also get a Speed3. Turbo version of a Mazda 3.

Does the Volester turbo take regular gas? I know the Speed 3 does not.
