Got my 8 last week
 

Since I now have a family, I needed a four door car. :D My husband loves asking people to "Come check out our new family car".

So far I couldn't be happier. Some of the posts here are kind of freakin' me out though. I am just going to assume that my car will neeeeever give me any of the problems I read about on here. And, if it does I will have you guys to answer my questions.

Congrats! Don't worry. My RX8 has been very reliable. Don't be scared by some of the posting here since this is the place for people to complaint about every little thing.

Most of the problems came from the earlier builds. As long as your car was made in 2004 instead of 2003, you are not likely to encounter the problems you've read.
