What was your car before the RX-8??
 

For me it was a 2004 Saab 9-3 2.0t. Very nice, but only had for 2 months due to ECM replacement 5 times! It was towed to the dealer 7 times, twice from my school; and yes it was legally a Michigan Lemon Law vehicle.

I like the RX-8 steering feel the best, it is almost as good as a 330ci I used to drive, but not quite there. Very good, considering the $12k price differance, and the fact that it is a Mazda vs. a BMW. This car is very nice though. Just wondering what other people used to drive.

Being at the other extreme, thought I'd reply: an '86 Accord, 180k mi. The car donation places that take anything won't take it. I've stepped up a bit...

1999 chevy ext cab 350 vortec still have it and drive it when it to job sites and play in the mud

My Previous car was 2000 BMW 328I. It was my first car out of school and paid over 40K after tax and did bunch of mods including springs, thicker adjustable sway bars, intake, ECU, full cat-back exhaust,etc.. I loved the car a lot but I put over 50K miles and warranty was out. As you all know, maintenance gets really expensive for bimmers after the warranty is out so I traded it in for my 8. I still miss my bimmer once a while but I never regretted getting my 8.

1994-1997 MX3 1.8 6cil. 25K
1997-2004 MX6 2.5 6cil. 105K

I swore I'd never own a vehicle without a hatchback, but I made an exception for the RX8:

'02-'04: 2002 Subaru WRX wagon
'99-'02: 1995 Acura Integra GSR
'97-'99: 1988 VW Golf
'91-'93: 1988 Honda CRX Si
'90-'91: 1977 AMC Hornet wagon

95 C280 and 96 integra LS

93 Camaro Z28 - sold it to buy the 8
98 Volvo C70 - traded it in on the 8

both were modified. The Z28 was pushing 360 rwhp, and the C70 was about 275 fwhp (with ~300 ft-lbs torque, lots of torque steer :D ).

Still very happy with my decision. Though when my warranty runs out (28000 miles to go), I'll either upgrade to a 6-port 8 with a sequential gearbox (if available) or TC/SC this one.

Haven't there been a few really long threads about this already?

Mike & Ike...LoL! I was unaware of this being a thread before, if it hurts your feelings; don't come back to the thread then.

I'll come back and you'll like it! :p

My wife is losing her car (it's a company car and she is quitting). What I hope to do--give her my Suzuki and get an RX8.

I didn't know people actually bought Suzukis ;)

I didn't know people actually bought Subarus too...jk Ike!

Integra with 153K which I am keeping for rain and work. I love that car too. But you can love more than one car.

2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe... loaded to the max... bought it last year in March, drove it until October, bought an 87 Nissan pickup, stored the infiniti all winter, and traded it in for my 8...

no regrets :D
