OP, I think this car would make a great car for you, and from all I read, it seems like you're a very responsible person. Word of advice, this car is not fast, if you want a fast car, don't go with the 8. As for punching it when the light turns green, that's an infraction. The cops can nail you for "Display of speed/power" or some bullshit like that.
Maintenance with this car is very simple, just make sure to change, check, and add oil frequently. Do not keep it in the same RPM range or baby the car, make sure to Redline it at least once a day to blow out all the carbon buildup in the ports. This will keep your motor happy, you don't want to clog up your exhaust ports now. Personally, I don't recommend this car to teenagers especially when they're still in highschool since it'll rob them of all their money. On average, the 8 gets about 200-230 miles a tank... costs about $60 to fill it up. That's approximately .30 cents a mile. The reason why I'm explaining all this is because I don't want you to get into a financial situation.

Putting finances and driving style/maturity aside, a real concern is whether you can get in and out of a low-profile car (you don't play WoW to the exclusion of all physical activity, do you?), and whether you can turn your head adequately.
This car has killer blind spots.

OP - You say I can't tell you what to do with your money - well **** I hope you have enough to pay for the high insurance each month, as well as the gas and maintenance.
You say it's your money - rightfully it is.
You say I can't tell you what to do with your money - THEN WHY ASK IF ITS GOOD FOR YOU? If you don't want to hear the opinion of someone who has been-there done-that, you already have your mind set, just go ******* buy the 8.
You are defending yourself when people say you need a beater, and promoting the 8 as the car you want when people say you may want a faster straight line car.
I stick true to "YOU DONT DESERVE IT", because you haven't lived long enough to TRULY respect the car, to have driven a beater to learn how to drive. I bought my first car with CASH that I had saved up for 2 YEARS, and trust me it was not an RX-8. It was a Kia Optima V6, and I had it and learned how to PROPERLY drive and exist on the road. People told me, V6 is too much power. It's not about the power you have, it's how you deal with it and how you actually control your vehicle and how you treat it. I did things to my Kia that I am now GLAD that I didn't have an RX-8 at that time. Had I got the RX-8 first, it would now be considered a beater car because it would have dings and scratches and ****. They are inadvertent and seem to SEEK your first car. Taking a turn into a gas station and a pothole suddenly turns up - bam bam - that sound sucks and I'm glad it happened in a Kia instead of an RX-8. You learn as you go to be more cautious, what your car is capable of and when not to be a total douche bag just because you have a nice car or want to show off.
For my sake, as an RX-8 owner, do not get an RX-8.
For your sake, as an inexperienced teenager, get something else.
But of course, like I said, you already made up your mind so why the **** did you even bother posting.

Devil - I know you understand and can handle the negative posts. Good job on the one guy you put in his place. If your parents can support/indulge you, excellent. It will pay forward to your own kids some day. I feel sorry for some of the hard-asses here who think parents should just toss their kids into the deep end.

He needed a head check on whether he could swing it financially. He also wanted to establish a relationship with folks on this forum. Commendable reasons to post.

Tossing your kid into the deep end is giving your child a lexus for their sweet 16. If your kid makes a bad choice, you're not tossing them in - they are drowning themselves and you are watching idly. Any self respecting parent who had to BUY their own car, knows that your first car should not be a really nice one - which the RX-8 is, because inevitably **** happens like hitting a curb or backing into someone or pulling out in front of someone. These things happen, whether you were lucky enough to have avoided them or not - it MORE THAN LIKELY will happen to your child. Guess why that insurance premium is so much.. it's not because everyone is super cautious at a young age. GASP!! It's because they can't drive and are more accident prone.

I guess there are two forms of throwing into the deep end. One is "You're on your own, no help here." The other is your example of a Lexus at the sweet 16. Neither is much good.
Ever see that CarMax commercial where the girl throws a screaming s***fit because the gift car is blue and she wanted the red one?
Devil has a job, and is about to get a promotion. He's saving for a car, and has almost enough money to swing an 8. If his parents help a little, that's cool. My parents helped a little when I was buying my first car, then a bit later when my wife and I were buying our first house. Wife's mother helped with her first car and the house, too. We both grew up into responsible adults.
When I bought my 8, my wife was pleased that I was getting something with a roof, ABS, DSC, and more air bags than we could count. I think Devil's parents should also be happy about that.

Don't waste our times. I might only be a teenager, but I can still e-rip you a new one. And no, not by threats, but by making you look like an idiot.
The most I will probably do is accelerate fast as hell at a stop light(when it turns green), but I won't do more than 5 over the speed limit, just enough to show them I could beat em :P
Stop right there buddy. From these posts alone I can call BULLSHIT on you. First off, don't lie and say you will not race/ drive fast. You are an inexperienced teenager in high school, and peer pressure is a bitch. Secondly, none of us care if you can e-rip anyone a new one, you are 16, just stfu. You wont show anyone you have just enough to beat them. The RX-8 absolutely SUCKS from a dig. It's not a drag car, it's a track car. Do you even know the hp/trq stats of an RX-8?
You seem to have your finances set, but dont waste it all on an 8. Get an FC RX-7, work on that. After you graduate, save up and then buy an 8 if you think you can maintain it.
I got my 8 in high school, and let me just say this...people WILL **** with it. Sure you'll have one of the coolest cars in school, but seriously, why risk the car getting fucked with by envious kids? I know you want the car for the cool factor and attention, dont deny it.. we were all in high school once. Just get an RX-7 for around 2-7 grand. You'll like it.

Well i remember in HS alot of my friends drove there mommy daddy car. Beat the hell out of them too. They drove fast even when they didnt have a fast car. Almost hit people, crashed ther cars few times etc.. If they had ther own beater car they still did this as well. I would be dead if they had the RX8
I never had help from my parents on buying a car , i didnt even get my first car till after i was 21 . im 28 now. From then to now i have had 6 cars. 6th car is the RX8 the 7th car i drive now is a 81 volvo turbo , my around town beater that gets great MPG and fun to drive. Get yourself a nice car dont get a sports car.
Right before i got the 81 , i was hit in my RX-8 by a 16yo driver on a friday nite! wife and i going to get pizza. I was just at a stop light , it turns green and i go , next thing i know the car is hit on passenger side and is spun. what did the 16yo girl say u might ask? That also had a 17yo friend with her. Oh my light was green and he ran a red light . Even with the car behide her saying she ran the red light. She lied for 2 months after that till she was blue in the face. She was not speeding or anything just not enough exp in driving and prob talking to her friend when it all happen. Wife and i still hurt car almost didnt get fixed and had 11k! in damage on an 04 RX8. Should somthing like this happen to you god forbid. Then all ur money u spent on a RX8... will all be for nothing. All it takes is a small mistake on your part or somebody else.
At your age u should be thinking more about what else u can do with ur money or maybe even moving out at 18. Since you have that much money saved up. Or go to college and pay for it yourself I'm sure that will make u feel great and get yourself a good car that is nice but not going to burn up all your money. I mean i would love nothing more than to go out and get a 09 R3 , but do i want all my money going to a car that i work and my wife work so hard for. Im sure you have worked hard for your money as well. And to have it all saved up is somthing that most your age dont ever do. best of luck to ya

From then to now i have had 6 cars. 6th car is the RX8 the 7th car i drive now is a 81 volvo turbo , my around town beater that gets great MPG and fun to drive. Get yourself a nice car dont get a sports car.
Right before i got the 81 , i was hit in my RX-8 by a 16yo driver on a friday nite! wife and i going to get pizza. I was just at a stop light , it turns green and i go , next thing i know the car is hit on passenger side and is spun. what did the 16yo girl say u might ask? That also had a 17yo friend with her. Oh my light was green and he ran a red light . Even with the car behide her saying she ran the red light. She lied for 2 months after that till she was blue in the face. She was not speeding or anything just not enough exp in driving and prob talking to her friend when it all happen. Wife and i still hurt car almost didnt get fixed and had 11k! in damage on an 04 RX8. Should somthing like this happen to you god forbid. Then all ur money u spent on a RX8... will all be for nothing. All it takes is a small mistake on your part or somebody else.
At your age u should be thinking more about what else u can do with ur money or maybe even moving out at 18. Since you have that much money saved up. Or go to college and pay for it yourself I'm sure that will make u feel great and get yourself a good car that is nice but not going to burn up all your money. I mean i would love nothing more than to go out and get a 09 R3 , but do i want all my money going to a car that i work and my wife work so hard for. Im sure you have worked hard for your money as well. And to have it all saved up is somthing that most your age dont ever do. best of luck to ya
