Check it out! 16k miles, 2004 with a 2003 build date, Grand Touring MT with Nav. Only problem was new battery at about 10k miles or so. Never flooded it and I have chanced it before and it cranks like a champ everytime! I get around 16.4 mpg per tank ALL city. Even when I spend 20 miles on the interstate, my mpg jumps up to 22 or so. I love this car!

 

Coool. those are some low miles on an 04 RX-8. i have almost 7K on mine and i only had mine for almost 5 months!

 

yea i remember going 16000 miles yesterday. lol

 

Low mileage. Wish mine was that low over that long a period of time.
19,777 and it's an '05. Bought new last May.

 

lol, 5,000 on mine, purchased 9/04. not my winter car.

 

Well, it's so low because I have only had it since August of 2005. It was new when we got it, and that's why I was able to get one that was loaded, rather than the base model. I chose to have the older model year loaded, than the newer model year with the base stuff. But, thanks for the comments!

 

Good post. I have 26k miles, wish mine was lower, but sometimes I just have to drive it 300 miles for the fun of it.

 

haha cool, i just passed 16k last night...

 

3 years, 3 months and 2 weeks.
50,000 miles tonight.

 

Impressive miles for an 04! Awesome to hear it's running so smooth too. I take it you must store in the winter.

 

when i got my RX8 in Oct-05 it had 5 miles on it.

Right now exactly 16 months later I have about 37,500 miles on it. haha i win!

 

I have 1800 miles on mine..

 

Ha, no actually I don't. I live in Atlanta and it was 55 degrees out today.

 

Isn't that like being married to a super-model and not having sex?

 

^hahaha

DRIVE YOU CAR MORE, it likes it

i have 31k on mine, 2 years and 4 months

 

I would be closing in on 60k miles pretty soon if I still had the automatic I got in August 03. Instead, I'm at 25k with the manual I swapped to in April 05. I do about 15k a year.

 

I've got about 13.5k on mine its a 04 build with an 03 build date. BleedUNCBlue I think you saw my car (VR) the last time you were passing through Raleigh, NC. It's not my daily driver, although I've been driving it all this week since our daily driver is in the shop. I forgot how fun it was driving it in daily traffic, its a blast.

Go Heels! Ya Man they beat Duke last night!

 

And on that note, i hate you.

 

Dude I hit 16000 yesterday too!

 

HAHA yeah that was me. And yes, that was a great game. We sucked and still pulled it out. Duke can go to hell. But, thanks for all the comments everyone has posted up... even though MazdaManiac did out-do me with the big 50k pic. But, I just wanted to share that I have no problems with my car at all. It still turns heads daily bone stock, and is plenty fast for me around town driving. The more and more I drive it, the more I know it was the right choice. Happy driving everyone!

 

ive had mine for one n a half years n the odo says 33k, tryin to get 40 before the 2 yr mark.

 

I broke the 4000 mile barrier today. The car is smooth as silk, and a pleasure to drive every day. It has lived up to all of my expectations.

 

I'm out of warranty in March, so it is coming to 3 years of happy ownership. The car has been very reliable the only thing it went in for was the heat shield recall. I've had the engine mounts replaced last year and it wasn't necessary, but I just asked them to replace them just so it gives me a sense of security that the engine mounts used are of the latest design. I reckon I still have the same old starter motor and the original battery. Bleh... my car starts up everytime and in some occassions it does crank slow, but it starts up.

The car is still idling smoothly, makes good power, gearbox still shifting smoothly and even the interior looks spanking new. Tyres OEM look pretty sad though and I need to change them soon .

Overall, I can't complain too much. Infact this car still gives me the same feelings when I first taken the car out of the dealership. I think I still look at my car everyday or at least sit in it. Just like Superman has his Fortress of Solitude, I have my RX8 to get into when I need to think. I dunno, it just gives me a sense of calm each time I get in the car. Call me crazy but I am having a ball owning this car!!!!

I'd like to see the day all the panels rusts out and the Renesis still starts and hummmsss along nicely!

Happy motoring.

 

Over 52000 km on my 2004.
Bought it at 17200 km Sept 2005
35000km in 17 months and lovin' every minute of it!

 

I passed 15,500 miles tonight after a bit more than 8 months of ownership. I need a daily driver!
