Help me friends! rx8 or not
hey
I'm looking at buying an rx-8, and I was wondering what the reliabililty is on early model engines. That's the only thing that's keeping me from this car. I previously owned an s2000, fantastic engine, and no matter how hard I beat the crap out of it, it would never fail. Would you buy your car again?

They dont make a hard top but they have a aftermarket Mugen Top, which is a carbon fiber top that replaces the stock clothy crappy top. lol.
If you get a white S2000 (which i had) and I had that carbon fiber top on it, it looked damn nice.
Since I previously owned a S2000, let me say this, I have a 2004 RX-8 with some MODS on it and it has 42,000 miles and I have never had a issue with it...Only issue was a defective gas cap and thats it. You maintain the vehicle and it will play nice with you. Just my two cents mate.

05rex8 - I hope you don't represent the rx8 community. This was not really a serious question, rather a half-assed introduction.
I'm this close to buying one, so thanks all for sharing your opinions with me!

you need to do more research before posting threads like this. this goes out to everyone who does this. buy the car or not based on what you researched and not on what others think. simple. sorry you were offended, but seriously its a pointless thread
