15K miles. I had one cell (misfire) at like 200 miles and a few hard starts, but no floods. The new plugs and starter are great. I am however starting to get a few rattles on the passenger side..usually exacerbated by high music volumes, but all in all, I think I got a good build too.

Aside from a few of the common rattles, I have no problems what so ever. Its only got 22K mi. (1K of which has been with me), but performs flawlessly.

No problems for me either. The only odd thing i get is weird noises when shifting into 2nd and 3rd. dealer claims there nothing but the synchros. standard gas mileage (18/24). I redline her often as well.

I just call mine rattle #1, rattle #2, etc. The dealership also knows them by name, as the driver side door has been "repaired" three times now without success.

you mean to tell me your brakes dont squeel and your center console button has not been jacked up ?!!!
I envy you if not ... also, you have to consider recalls problems wouldnt you ? I mean if you have to take it in, or something has to be replaced or changed [something irregular] I would consider it a problem.

There are no perfect cars!! If a problem is fixed under warranty is it a inconvience!
The problems that are not fixed to me under warranty are problems!!
If you have squeaky brakes take to the dealer.

I noticed like a vibration sound in my driver's door, compounded by stuff like the stereo. Thought it might have been the seal or something but finally narrowed it down when I leant against the piece of trim immediately above the armrest and it disappeared.
I've had the service guys look at it and it has diminished but not totally gone away. This sound like your problem?

Even though this is a long standing issue, the dealership now tells me rattles are not warrenteed over 12 months. So I'm thinking about going to an audio specialist and having the door dynomatted.

Except for a front brake noise...fixed under warranty...no mechanical problems.
Read and followed the owner's manual- particularly engine break in.
Dealer changes the RX-8 oil. I change the G35 oil myself.
I still check my oil every other fuel fill-up or every two weeks.
Feels like its making more power than before too.
I dont complain about the MPG. Its a N/A 1.3L making 240 H.P.
But no problems.
