Is the RX8 a cop magnet?
Hi,
I'm considering buying an RX-8 in December. Do you find the car is a cop magnet? I used to have an Eclipse and that was the case. I was younger with the Eclipse, I'm 27 now. But even when I was driving normally, the Eclipse got plenty of unwanted attention. |
If you don't want attention do not get an 8. But as far as a cop magnet, nah
|
Well I want attention hehe, just not cops hassling me excessively.
|

If you're speeding and/or breaking the law, then yes, it's a cop magnet. If you respect the speed limit and drive correctly, then no, you won't ever get troubled.

Does not seem to be that way over here in NZ .
I get more tickets in our clapped out 1993 bmw 3 series and i don't even drive that very fast |
I have a black 8 and have only been pulled over twice for stupid reasons; zero tickets. Red 8's get all the shit lol
|
I never had a problem with cops, and I mostly drove the 8 at wee hours of night, when it's much easier for cops to single you out. I had one follow me around one time when I was bored and just out driving for the sake of driving, but he didn't pull me over.
To a point, it really doesn't matter what you drive, it matters more how you drive it. |
I've never had a single problem with my 8 and cops. My old mustang on the other hand is a different story.
|
LY 8 is magnet for anyone....especially chicks....haha
|
Cop magnet,, no
Chick magnet,, yes |
Well I'm gonna agree with the fellas on this one the cops don't really seem to be a problem, the ladies on the other hand, man keep a broom stick in the ride cuz u gonna need something to beat em of with!!
|
At school it isn't but when I'm home in Jersey the cops always think I'm some drunk highschool kid driving their parent's car. Either way I don't get tickets so it's whatever.
|
Hey Mr We$t if you are beatin off the ladies just send them my way...i have lots of room for women at my apartment haha!!

If you'll drive right, you shouldn't have any problems. |
I have a yellow and have been pulled over once since 2/2004 for a busted rear license plate light.
|
Not that I find. I think other cars are bigger magnets than 8s. Also depends on the color I suppose.
|
had the car for a little under a year. only been pulled over once and it was my fault (~82 in a 55)
|
i get pulled over by the same cops over and over
