Haha you can check out my first thread too. Happened 3 years ago. I didn't get a lot of positive replies like you did though. The whole thing went down like a shi storm. But, that didn't stop me from buying the car

right now I pay $240 a month, about $200 of that is the rx8... no tickets left on the record, I'm in my 30's, 1 "at fault accident" on the history still though...
but in michigan at the very least this car is not cheap to insure, every company i've talked to classifies it as a 2dr sports car... they dont seem to care about the size of the engine or that it actually has 4 doors. michigan is also one of the highest cost states to have auto insurance in as well though...
EDIT: that is for full coverage with pretty good $$ coverage, not just the minimum required

Each RX8 is an individual case study.
and such generalizations don't necessarily apply.
I would rather have a high mileage S1 that was taken care of by a knowledgeable owner who did all the proper maintenance specific to the Renesis as opposed to a lower mileage S2 that was owned by someone who maintained it like a Toyota.
Close to 4 years since I bought my '04 LY GT.
I wanted yellow, and it's the only year it was available.
Bought it with 18.5k miles, now over 55k, and the only real issues were that it had a bad cat from a bad coil when I bought it, on my 3rd battery, and the fuel pump died about a year ago.
I love it more now than when I first got it.
Also, I think the S1is better looking.
