alright guys im thinkin of trading in my zx10r for a rx8 im kinda bored w/ riding the bike and theirs alot of retarded drivers around here had a few too many close calls w/ the riding season just starting off already so im really likin the looks of the 8 but got a few questions.
1. How much maintence do these cars need w/ it having a rotory engine?
2. Even if well kept are they reliable?
3.whats the fastest color

1. All you have to do is what Mazda says in the owners manual. Routine maintenance. Check engine oil level every few hundred miles.
2. Yes
3. What ever your favorite color is.

3. Winning Blue of course.. why else would they call it Winning Blue

MPG

Lots of people only drive them in the summer if they live in a colder climate. Others have daily drivers for gas mileage, etc and only take them out on the weekends. I do neither, I vote for driving it all the time.

It's SILVER that is cursed.......not Gray!

Just for the record.

mostly MPG and remeber it is a sports car, and there for the suspension isnt the nicest in terms of ride comfort. alot of people also buy a sports car, have their fun with it, and trade it in.

also the depreciation for the 8s is bad, which will work in your favor if you want a used 8. i was able to pick up my 8 last year, for 16K. its an 05 model and had 18K miles on it.

if you are looking for a new 8 you are in luck once again. mazda is currently offering some really sweet deals on the new 8s, some dealerships are offering almost 10K off their cars.

so honestly, you have no reason not to get an 8

Bored about your ZX10? Don't you track it? Don't you know of any roads where you can push it? How can a car be more exiting than a bike? Just saying, if you're bored about a ZX10 then don't get a RX8. Or anything less than a Carrera GT...

not bored like i said in my first post. ive already had a few close calls at the beginning of spring 2 people almost running me off the road 1 was very close and barely got stopped before hitting a guard rail. im only 19 and would like to live a little longer. i will miss my zx10 veryyy much and i dont wanna get rid of it but i imo its a better thing for me right now if there werent so many bad drivers out there.no i dont track it i live in indiana and theres no tracks around here. theres a few drag strips a few hrs away but thats about it. and like i said. im in IN. no curvy roads either. we got corn corn nad straight roads. sounds like fun?
