Will I go wrong with purchasing a New RX-8??

If I follow the basic Rotary engine car, i.e. Check Oil levels regularly and Warm engine up propery before driving and NEVER shut down a cold engine. Will this prove a reliable car?

Is the rotary engine great? if those above steps are adhered to

Serious answers only please!
As I am really wanting an RX8 but the problems first models have encountered scare me. Should I be worried, Or just GO for it??

Thanks

 

This is your 3rd thread on basically the same thing? Yes u will go wrong, happy now?

 

Nice to see your keeping tabs on what I post lol, That was a serious question, obviously I can't get a serious answer. You were joking....right?

How long have you had your RX-8 for?

 

Your wasting forum space with all these useless threads. Don't buy an 8, its not for u I've had mine for 10 years this December

 

Thanks for telling me not to buy an 8, I wont post anymore useless threads. I dont see how you come to the conclusion that its not the car 4 me?? Oh well.

 

I haz magic powers

 

COuld you tell me one thing, before we get into the magical stuff haha, Is it a Reliable car? and have you had any problems with your 8 and what year is yours??

Thanks

Y do u like the rx8?

 

Instead of just getting limited opinions, go to truedelta.com or other sites that compile reliability data on cars. My research tells me that the car had problems in 2004-05, the first two model years. The RX-8's reliability since then has been fine and should be even better with the changes in 2009. Reliability would not be a reason for me not to buy an RX-8. But do your own research and draw your own conclusions

 

I own a 2004 Mazda Rx8 and for me, it's been pretty reliable.
I have about 69,5xx miles on it right now and I've never had a problem with the engine. I did have to replace the clutch, and normal things like brakes and tires (which you have to replace on all cars.) But if you're buying used, make sure you get a compression test, ask for car fax, history records to make sure the previous owner/owners maintained the engine.
