Baller what car don't you have. I have seen RR, RX8, Motorcycle, Z...

Baller

We like our cars.......I sold the old Z, and bought the new one for my wife. The old one was 25 years old with 30,000 miles.
2 bikes, 3 Quads, the double R, the 8 and now the Z...

Z28

Here we go again stating that everything GM makes is junk. That is your opinion but then again it is not proven. In fact the Rx-8 has had thousands of recalls for burning oil and other engine attributes to this. Say what you want but check out the facts upon your car b4 you bash others. In my opinion the Rx-8's exterior looks like that of a cheap BMW. For a car too run extremely slow like it does it actually gets worse gas mileage than cars that are a lot faster and more appealing. I personally would never buy a car that gets this kind of gas mileage and can barely break into the 14's. Sorry but for 30k i'd prefer to get more for my money than just a car that can handle.

I'm sorry I wanted to say crap, not junk.
Z-28 were ok in 1969 now they are discontinued because they are crap......that's just the way it is as most people agree.....
BTW..."cheap BMW interior" give me a break and go troll in the BMW forum, I think they will really like you.

Truth hurts, most people agree...LOL. Only you and your friends.

I agree Z-28's were great in 1969 and still are. Totally agree with you on that. Sounds like the oil burning in your car is getting too you. I hope everything is alright!

Nahh unlike yourself the BMW crowd give credit where it's due instead of just bashing on a brand of car. BMW, hmm now there's a car that's worth the money paid into it. I heard they get over 20 mpg too. Wow pretty good for low 14 second cars with great reliability, looks , and everything else also. LoL

Z28

What market is Mazda trying to direct attention to again? I mean 400 horsepower cars get better MPG than You? The chicks dig your car...don't they? Do they ask you too rev your lawnmower....i mean engine.

As I said before, when you can be polite, you can post here. Until then, go troll somewhere else.

"My RX-8 is very reliable......."

No ****, you owned it for all of 3 months... Wait five or six years and then talk. But still, if you're concerned about reliability it's awful stupid to buy any new car in its first year of production. Even people who bought Acura RSX's and Honda Accords in their first two years were complaining about the transmissions... And those cars don't have brand new rotary engine designs in them... For the record, I bet some of the GM products you got were in their first years of production as well.

I hate to break it to you but Japanese engineers can't see into the future. Even though the RX-8 probably will be fairly reliable by 2007 or 2008, you're Mazda's Guinie pig (sp).

Regardless, even if the guy who buys the GTO has a less reliable car (doubtful), he will also absolutely DESTROY you on any track, has a more luxurious interior with better build quality, gets better gas mileage, has a PROVEN engine in his car, can seat four normal sized people comfortably in his car over long distances, etc. Of course you also spent 5-6K less on your car..

To clarify, it's not that I don't like the RX-8... If I didn't I wouldn't be here... However, I find it hilarious that people who drive around in a "niche" car like the 8 would bring up reliability. People don't exactly buy cars like that for reliability.

"As I said before, when you can be polite, you can post here. Until then, go troll somewhere else."

How is he trolling? Baller started this argument; Z28 just argued it from the other perspective. Every point he made however bothers prospective RX-8 buyers. Especially gas, rotary engine reliability, new model reliability, etc.

Rotarian_SC

Most of this stuff I don't find factual. I think that if there were recalls for burning oil then every rotary engine did that because it is supposed to. Also bmw's aren't very reliable, especially the 7 series. Check out consumer reports reliability ratings, and mazda is right after Honda for overall models.

Elara

No, he did not. He jumped on here calling people crap, and now he's posting just to get a response. That is trolling. If he had posted his position politely, there would have been no issue. You don't see those because I had to delete them. Everyone else was warned and backed off the insults. He did not. There is NO exuse for this confrontational crap on here. The thread is now closed.
