Even with the issues (i.e. rough idle, low mileage - 13mpg) there are so many things I love about this car that I couldn't honestly vote anything less that "highly satisfied".

Totally satisfied. Have not loved a car this much since my '76 Datsun 280Z.
And it's not just the awesome handling and performance, or the georgeous looks, or the attention it gets, or the way it makes me love driving again. It's also ALL the little things... see this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/violations-53/little-things-9437/

Like others, I voted highly satisfied. I would say Totally Satisfied if mileage improved a bit. I get 16.7 no matter what I do or how I drive. I would be totally satisfied if this were above 18 or so.

As of my vote, the vote totalls were: Highly satisfied: 42, Somewhat satisfied: 2, Highly dissatisfied: 2.
With a ratio of 42:2 of highly satisfied to highly dissatisfied why is there so much negative pub on this server?? Proud owners speak out!

1. The people that are having problems, don't even bother in voting.
or
2. There is a fraction of the people that are not satisfied with the RX-8 registered and lurking here. The rest are not paying attention...
or...

I too voted highly satisfied. Would not have voted for totally satisfied for only two reasons... mileage (17 mpg on two tanks), and lack of automatic climate control.

I was highly satisfied with my first one (except for the price), and I am highly satisfied with the second. Of course, if it had 200 more horse power, a front spoiler, and gullwing doors, I would be, like, totally satisfied, but, oops, sorry, wrong car. Better MPG would be nice, but I don't drive for fuel milage, I drive for fun.

wanted to vote totally satisfied but will settle for highly satisfied.
I dont min hte low mpg cause it keeps the gas tank fill with fresh gas, and give people a chance to catchup to me when I am filling up the 8.

Highly satisfied!
No problems at all. Everything feels just right. It's got all the power that I will ever need for a street/road car. Handling couldn't be better. Styling catches your eyes and holds them there - inside & out. Compliments by total strangers all the time. (I was washing mine this afternoon & a 14 year old boy hollers from the street "nice car!" I never saw the kid before & didn't even see him before he shouted to me. Yes, I thanked him. He made my day!) Mod's are just now really getting good. I can imagine what kind of mod's will be available in a couple of years from now.
If this car doesn't get "car of the year", they're friggin' crazy!
My wife said something about not falling asleep while driving tonight. I replied "I can't. Not driving THIS car. Just no way."
And one day, I'm gonna see how the stereo sounds. :D

I voted "Neutral"
The good things are great.
The bad things somewhat soured the experience so far.
I think the people who are unhappy are probably not on this forum any more, and a good few of them already returned their 8's.
Those if us who like the good things enough are sticking with it for it to get better.

LOVE THE CAR! I'm always looking for reasons to drive the thing. My girlfriend and I picked it up last night (11/20/03) and 24 hours later, we already racked up 180 miles on it!
