I just drove ( not in the 8 ) from Northeast Ohio to Miami and back. Did not see a single 8 in 2500 miles and 40 hours driving.
I really like that the Mazda RX 8 is rare and special.

 

Same here. Only 2 in my area.

 

I drove 1600 miles from Chicago to Montreal Canada and back last fall and didnt see a single one either...

 

Exactly my experience, too—and I'm in the densely packed "Northeast Corridor"!

 

good job

 

I wonder why you don't see many 8s ???????

Reliability reputation maybe?

 

I think alot of people see that this car has a 1.3L engine and just look at other cars, they missed the fact that this is a wankel engine, its not piston, at least thats why most of my friends have reacted when i told them about my car.

In Orlando area, I actually see alot of Rx8s, in fact, i saw 2 today.

 

When I lived n SoCal, I'd see at least a few every week. I've only seen 4 or 5 total since I moved to Connecticut last July....

 

It is nice not driving a Camry.

 

Damn, I see at least 2 a day and that is driving a total of something like 20 miles.

 

Why don't you see more 8s? Because, on the one hand, it's not a truck, an SUV, or a boring sedan, and, on the other, it doesn't scream snot-nosed brat or "where's my Viagra prescription?"

 

If it's a good day I will see 1-3 max. Glad I'll make it 2-4 when I get mine.

 

i see them all the time.... i need to move

 

i see more boxters than 8's. it makes me happy.

 

I'm here in so cal. don't see many here in ventura. since I've had mine (january 12) I've seen one in town. but heading toward L.A. they are all over the place. I'm glad there aren't many here. I get all the attention. lol.

 

I kno of around 10 on my campus

 

Yeah I never see any RX8's in my area. There is only 3 in my county but one of those is at a dealer. There's mine and some old woman about mid 60's that has one. It is a very special feeling knowing that you are of a "rare breed."
