Question I'm going to buy an RX8....

...but I wanted some advice about things I should look/look out for. I want a preferably stock one with under 20k miles. I want either winning blue or silver/gray. And I want an automatic(don't tell me I should get a manual, I'm not good enough at driving manual an I don't plan on learning on it)

If you are dead set on an auto matic look for a 6speed auto. I think 06 and ner started getting the 6speed. Before that was the 4speed auto and it was a bit sluggish but it also only came with a single oil cooler, which is very benificial for this hot running motor.

Don't buy the RX8 man,
12 to 15 MPG you don't need that
0-60 over 6 seconds and 1/4 mile for over 15 secs
all that for 13 MPG, is not worth it .
Get RSX type-S or something
I'm trying to get rid of my rx8 right now
Mazda better fix that engine or they will lose it.
there are less rx8 on the road with every single day.
the reason is crapy gas milage
rotary engine sux man
I hope they fix them
Nice car other than that

P.S
Don't hate me, it's true !
