ON Still have that itch for an RX-8

I posted here likely over a year ago, thinking about purchasing an RX-8. Every once in a while, I would tease myself and go online to see what's available. Yesterday I found basically the perfect RX-8 for me.

http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Mazda/RX-...0414131123452/

I'd really love to get it. Fuel economy is only a hair less than my Mazda6 wagon. The things that still worry me is the reliability and the practicality. I don't know how difficult it would be go to from a spacious wagon to a 2-door. I know it all depends on how a specific person uses their car.

Do you guys have any input on the car in question?

Depends on what you need to carry. I've used my 8 as my daily chores car for 7 years, and it's been fine for grocery gettings, hauling back plants for the patio, microwaves... all sorts of things.

The trunk opening is narrow though, so although you can stuff tons of groceries in there, you can't get larger boxes past the opening. The clamshell doors make it easy though to get boxes into the back seat if need be. Still... it's no wagon.

So if you spend a lot of time at Home Depot lol, it may not be the best fit

I'd say more 2 1/2 to 3 doors.
