Series II RX-8's, post up your mileage
at 12,2xx now. My shock seems to have corrected itself 
Car handles really great in snow with Blizzaks and I can fit my snowboard in the backseat and my boy's skis through the passthrough...

Got my white R3 in July 09, 11700km (7200miles) 1 oil change done so far, next one soon enough, great car, no problem what so ever yet, except one key stoped working ( had it in my wallet all the time and seems bent, so partly my fault) else than that added maybe 1.5L between the oil changes.
Just over 3K on mine, one oil change and about 15 MPG avg. Feels like the tranny can loosen up a bit still, 1->2 shifts still not very smooth.
Only nitpick is I wish the main air vents blow more air when in mixed mode (front and bottom) cracking up the fan doesn't seem to make any difference.
Loving it so far.

Ditto. Bought in Nov 09 with 70 miles (10 miles was from my test drives), now just over 3k. Just lovin it, esp at the track!
I bought my 10 4th january brand new
Now 2550km
i add 1lt. oil (5-30w)
i didn't change oil yet. Is it importand before than first service 10000km?
20.5mpg one time on highway
Always 12.5mpg on winter city driving (%70normal %30 high rew)
I have too worse mpg. I am living in TURKIYE. I'm using fuel (95RON 85MON), but I will try (97RON 86MON).

Bought late Jan w/480 miles; now @1100 or so. I've added a quart of dead dinosaurs and that's it for maintenance so far.
Complaints: I'd agree that the face air vents aren't so good in face&feet mode, 3rd and 4th gear show a little resistance to gearstick movement depending on my speed, and 6th can grind if I skip anything. I suppose I need to match the revs better when shifting.
MPG: Don't really want to calculate it. Suspect that to do so would only make me feel worse.
