I am the proud owner of a 2008 Mazdspeed 3. I am seriously considering swapping a fellow in my area for a 2004 RX-8 GT, now, my problem with this is what I've been hearing about several serious engine problems in general with these Wankels ...

SHOULD I TRADE?? REAL CONCERNS??

The sweet RX-8 has only 36,000 miles on it, but this owner is the FOURTH owner... hmmm...

 

Please see the new owner's thread in my sig. Read the first 9 posts. Your post above clearly indicates that you don't know the basics of what you might be getting into. Once you have the basics in hand, then start asking questions.
