My opinion of rotary engines and the cars behind them was that they were brilliant track animals but kind of stupid on the street, giving away too much for the fuel use and lack of torque compared to more conventional engines.

I took a RX8 Type S for a test drive yesterday and would now like to apologise for my previous opinion.

So on behalf of a rotary hater, I'm sorry, I have now seen the attraction of these cars/engines and how wonderful they are to drive.

Have a fantastic day.

Yayy....lol. In the words of my superiors "Welcome to the Addiction"

 

Welcome !!! From down there in the South

 

Oh noes.....another addict!


Honestly, almost 6 years now, I drive mine everyday, and it never fails to put a smile on my face and make my day. If you knew me you'd know how difficult that is to do with me.

 

living in CHCH I can understand why you all of a sudden like the the idea of a smooth VIBRATION FREE engine ... LOL

 

Addicted to love, is what they say about this car...welcome.

 

huh?

 

same as our 6-speed manual. terminology for trim model overseas.

 

So......are you getting one/did you get one?

 

This statement is quite true, all the haters hate and dont like rotaries until the actually drive one. Then they understand why, I kind of got my friend addicted to my 8 now, Whoops! I let him drive her hard and I was like drop it into 2nd, Hes all WTF, Too low of a gear stupid. Convinced him to and he smiled lol.

 

learned something new today!!!

 

I'll get one, how soon will depend on finance. Get paid a reasonable amount, but don't want to wait which I know is bad of me but that car was seriously cool
