Enough of the RX-8

I had enough of my 2005 RX-8. I trade it in for a KIA Forte Koup... I've had nothing but problems with Mazda junk. Anyone thinking of buying a RX-8 should stay away from this car.

8 posts mostly complaining about a cracked dashboard. I'm sure the world renowned kia craftsmanship will cuddle you gently.

News flash dipshit, we already own RX-8's. Good luck with your FWD fail machine.

+1

Kia Forte is just a Kia that hopes to be a civic one day.

Good luck with that.

I see you had problems with the cracked dashboard - at least that's the only thing you posted about. Hardly qualifies as 'Mazda junk'.

Anyone thinking of buying a RX-8 should stay away from this car.
Too late for that for me...
I had mine for 8 years, no problems, just regular maintenance. So let's just say, your experience, whatever it is like, is not the norm.

One of my friends was gonna buy a Kia Forte, then he rode in my Rx8. So, looks like even though Kia gained you, they lost someone else.

Sorry your experience turned out to be problematic, but you don't need to say for everyone to stay away from this car.

Coming from someone with no problems out of his.

Don't tell my 8 that it's not a daily driver

It's my drive to work car, grocery getter, and my son's ride home from school. My GF ha a Murano for everything else.

Heck, I've even used it to get the xmas tree last year.

Maybe a few of you guys have never had a problem with your 8,
but the majority of all rx-8 owners have.

The engine and transmissions are ****.

I mean come on 70% of the engines don't even see 60k
kinda bullshit is that?

and don't come back with that well if you take care of them they will last cause that's bs
infact a few of you die hard fans spent crazy money adding all this stuff that was supposely supposed to keep the engines alive well backfired on yall huh?

Rx-8's are trash.

Do your research and you will find out.

You're more troll than the OP.
You bought your broken 8, couldn't figure how to solve the issue, then cry about it.
Get another car. You're opinion isn't worth **** on this forum.
70%? Did you do the math and figure that out on your own? Probably used the same deductive process to figure that out as you did on your car...
