I've owned my car for about a year now, 05 shinka. I have yet to run into any serious problems with my 8. I do everything by the book yet I would not be surprised if I were to break down tomorrow though with all the TSBs I am positive my car needs (though not really sure cuz I dont really know how to find out). I think the answer to all the problems this car has though would be to replace the engine... maybe find a totaled 2011 Sonota and do an engine swap yeah?
There is nothing wrong with a well maintained renesis engine, and your engine internals are still under warranty.

Don't listen to this idiot.
The dealer should be able to tell you what flash you're on. Don't worry about the milky stuff, it's normal. Just drive the car.

How many 8 owners are truly happy? I bought brand new 2005 Maza RX-8 for my son. after numerous problem the dealer repalced the engine at 18,000 miles. Now the dealer is replacing the engine at 31,000 miles. What legal action or consumer rights do we have against the maker of this junk car. As I try to sell it no one wants it. Any advise?

Premature problems with :
CAT
Coilpacks
Fuel pumps
Engine mounts
Engine itself
Those are just a few of the common problems, and often for cars with less than 100 000 kms.
Now, dont get me wrong, I like my RX8 and enjoy driving it, but I think we've been deluding ourselves into thinking it doesnt have its flaws.
The maintenance on this car is insane and way above what a modern car should be. I still put up with it, because I live the driving experience, but... its costly and damn well annoying to be stuck on the side of the road, due to a fuel pump when the car barely has 80 000km...

Why is this still a sticky. I reported it but it's still a sticky. The links are broken and the TSB thread that Ash8 created the in the troubleshooting section is much, much better.
