had mine 04 since 05, no problems here . also have 50k on the engine now. but if your are worried about the 8, maybe a civic is the right choice for you.

 

You must live near King or Tobaccoville! I used to drive up Rt 52 all the time to get the the Blue Ridge Parkway and sometimes on to Tennessee.

I lived in Tobaccoville for 11 years until I moved up to Northern, VA (NOVA) in 1997 - sure wish I still lived there.

 

Honestly, I haven't had a single problem with my 8, and I've had her for just over 12 months now. Its a 6spd 07' model.

I cannot explain how much I love my car, I look forward to driving her everyday.

I can't believe I still get comments almost daily, on a 5 year old design.

 

I'm this close to buying one........

Find your *****, strap 'em on and make a decision.

Sorry I haven't been posting in my own thread for a while. Thanks for not flaming a noob hah. Anyways, i've looked through all the TSB's and the few recalls it has, and found that user maintenance and care is the way to keep this car going strong.

Also, I obviously know that this is my decision and mine alone. To the people that think choosing a car is an easy decision, it's not, period. There's no easy way to throw down 15k, and pretend to yourself that it was necessary to buy a car like the rx-8 instead of a gas saving prius or civic.

RX-8 here I come
