If you have a wad of cash to blow and want to keep the car for power/milage ratio, I recommend putting in a small-block aluminum V8 or an inline-4 Turbo like SR20DET (modified for more power, of course).
But if you want to sell it, I would say look for a replacement before you sell it.

Not fast? Did you even think before you bought this car? Getting this car in automatic is really a total waste of money for 212hp, you should have known that. I have no clue why Mazda would make such a dumb move and cripple the AT, but they did. Should have gotten a stick, you would have been much more pleased with the performance.

all around airbags.. so as far as unsafe.. it got 4-5 stars on EVERY category. install a FI and you will get the MPG to power ratio you are looking for. unreliable how? you will lose a good chunk of money if you have a loan out on it.. it has a huge depreciation in value.. all your extras wont add much value.

Its a good thing your selling the car since you will never know the full potential of a RX8 on a real race track. I would not expect to win any street races with the car since most swapped hondas out there will hand you your a@# in a heartbeat.
