Read the stickies in the tech section.

Don't buy an 04 or 05 auto.

The older autos had a little less power and fewer gears.
There is a ton of info here. Search around a bit

and welcome to the club

04-05 MT's should be fine, see if you can find one still under warranty, and make sure all the recalls have been done.

No. I've got an '05 MT with zero problems. But follow Dshiznit1489's advice.

Ahhh, another 'almost' RX-8 owner. *high five* Yeah, searching around and stickies help a lot. I've been cruising around the forums for a bit just reading all sorts of info, so that's helped me out a lot on questions I had for the car.
