My 8 has 120k on it. Third transmission, 2nd engine, two people backing into it, and so on. Am I just one of the unlucky ones? You can call it that. If I had to do it all over again, would I?-ABSOLUTELY. If that is the price I have to pay for a car that is as awesome as an 8, then so be it. Do I like the problems? No, but there are more expensive habits. Sometimes stuff happens in life but a KIA FORTE??!!!! Negative chief.

Actually my 8 turned out just fine,

perfect compression and trans was rebuilt, broke again, and fixed,
i still have it and am selling it soon to buy a 2003 honda RC-51

My point was that most rx-8 owners have major problems.

Accept it or deny it you no it's a fact

A great, the noob of all noobs talking about facts. You don't have a point, you never have and never will. So your tranny is fixed again yet you started another thread on Thursday about it still not working? You are completely full of **** man, that is a fact. I can only hope whoever buys your car at least does some research.

I'd rather push an rx8 than drive a KIA.

If you make claims, produce evidence. 70% of engines don't see 60k? Did you do a full statistical analysis? The first couple years were the worst and I'm not sure if they were even that bad. Even if you look at only the series 1 RX-8's averaged out, your numbers are probably WAY off.

You bought a car that you didn't know anything about. When you first posted you claimed that you had been a fan of the car, despite the fact that you apparently knew nothing about it. Suddenly, you have some issues with your car and now you're a know it all about how terrible these cars are.

I mean this in the nicest way possible... Almost everything you have posted on this forum makes you look like an idiot. If you know it's a fact, produce the evidence supporting your claims. If it is a fact, it can be proven. Until then, you're talking out of your ***.

I know I'm just feeding the troll, but he keeps posting and just doesn't get when to stfu.

Jeez, there is some drama on here.

Honestly, there is one thing I don't ever understand, about ANY car forum..

If you dislike the car, why jump on the forums for it? I'd rather spend my time surfing the forums of the one(s) I do enjoy, than making a bad reputation on forums I don't care about.

I'll admit, I have no facts, but for the most part, think of how people only voice out when something goes wrong. You always hear about the worse end. People expect good from what they buy, so when it provides, they're satisfied and generally keep to themselves. However, the moment something wrong at all happens, they go into a frenzy about it. It's practically human nature.

Not trying to feed the trolls, I just never understand why they exist. Well, I know why 4chan exists, but there are so many other trolls out there, to where it's just like, are you for real?

whoa, really? coming from some moron who can't drive Manual? oh don't give me that traffic bs blah blah blah, I live in NYC and it's known to have the WORST traffic in the US. and I'm ok with it. so you can kiss my ***.

and this dude just spent "3K" to rebuild an AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, when you can get a BRAND NEW ONE around 3.5K


where you got 70% from? your ***?

Is that a trick question? are you telling us that 70% of what you said were bullshit? what about the other 30% ?

so you're telling me you don't need to take care of the car at all and it will just run and run and never dies?

you sure you're not talking about an Unicorn ?

I hope you enjoy your "3000 bucks" rebuilded tranny, oh man you even fail @ picking the right shop to fix a fuxking automatic transmission. LOL !!!!

you are such a failure man. I'm sure 70% of the people here just don't give a flying ****. the last 30%? hmm, I don't know, mind to tell me? since you're so good at making **** up.

my 8 is great. in b4 the lock

Most of the RX8 owners are living in fantasyland.
1st my car has way more then just a crack dashboard. Say about $8,000 in repairs
Also maybe do alittle reasearch about the 2012 Kia Koup, see what the experts are saying. Don't judge KIA from say 5-10 years ago.

Have fun with your 16 MPG, and replacing the engine after 60,000
Go to the mazda dealer and see how many RX-8 are in the shop
Whats your resale value?

I'm no troll just giving a honest experience of what i went through

I see alot of people with keyboard courage

sjschutz

You had this experience because you bought a car with "$8000" needed in repairs. Which is a gross overestimate.

Have fun with your shitty car and feel free to leave the forums whenever you want (which is hopefully.... NOW).

A) Driving my 8 over 83,000 miles in 4 years with only a couple of minor problems, and only recently having some larger items fail (original factory clutch and a rear shock) is NOT a fantasy. It's a reality.

B) My piston engined Miata and a prior Corolla both have had engine failure while my 8 is still running strong with good compression (how is that for playing the odds?)

C) Actually I get 20-24mpg.

D) My 8 has been paid off for 18 months and costs me so ridiculously little in insurance that there is no financial or practical reason to get rid of it and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Why would I care about the resale value of something I'm not going to sell?



I'm not saying your issues didn't exist, but if you believe yourself to have free license to claim that all 8s are garbage without being "in a fantasy land", then we have license to claim that they are not garbage without being "in a fantasy land". And I particularly would have license to claim that all piston engines are complete fragile time bombs waiting to completely disintegrate and Toyota makes horrifically unreliable engines.

See how this works?


Experience of 1 DOES NOT equate to the experience of the whole.

PeteInLongBeach

Damn. I've been doing it all wrong for 40,000 miles. The car has been so reliable, I had no idea. Glad you told me Philip - I'll be replacing it immediately.

maybe,

yours is what? landfill?

that means you're a moron. you bought a car with 8K in repairs.

damn my car cost me ... just some oil change and coolant, u know, general maintenance stuff. guess you're too stupid to know how to keep a car running properly?

no one here hates KIA ... at least I don't, I have a Hyundai which OWNS KIA

I test drove more cars in a month than you can have in your entire life, so don't try to come and tell me which car is better. the only car that I have "yet" to test is Porsche and Ferraris.

Reviews? gotta love them when they call a Mazda3 with 155 hp "underpowered," then the same guys call a FIT with 110 hp "a rocket" oh yeah.

well, guess you enjoy holy moly 170 HP more than 232 hp

we will have more fun without morons like you.

Damn I got 24 mpg. did I just disappoint you? or you just can't drive for **** ?

Replacing Engine after 60K miles? hmm where you got that from? your *** again? just like the other moron who spent 3K in getting auto tranny rebuild when u can buy a new one for 3.5K ? are you as stupid as him? are you? I think so.

I didn't see any rx-8 in the shop, I was at dealership just 3 days ago. need to get a few bolts. oh yeah. you failed again.

OH MAN THIS GUY GOT OVER 200K miles on his 8 ! OH MY GOD !

so yea you can just go die now. please.

what's yours? LOL !

you are not a troll, you're just a moron, isn't that the same?

Look who's talking.

Your not giving an honest experience, you are just looking to stir the pot. I don't hate KIA at all but my gay uncles partner drives a Forte so......................

If you hated your RX-8 that is understandable but why cry like a little bitch about it on an internet forum? Just be glad you got rid of it and go register at www.kiaforteforum.com.
