Seriously thinking about it
Hello everyone,
New member here. I went and test drove the rx8 today and i must say that i was very, very impressed. i loved the acceleartion (hence the name) and it handled beautifully. The inside seemed a little bit cramped but i guess it's expected as it's a sports car. i love the suicide doors since i have a wee one that needs to be able to sit in the back. I had a couple of questions for you rx8 owners: 1. is maintenace a pain? do you change your own oil? i 2. how much do you guys/gals pay for insurance. 3. is this a girl's car? i know this might sound stupid but i swear the only people driving rx8s seem to be girls. not that it really matters, if it's a girls car cause it drove awesome. i actually got out of the car after test driving it and realized i had big sweat stains under my armpits. haha...guess it really excited me. :) |
Answers:
1) No. No. 2) $900/year for 100/300/100, $30/day rental, uninsured motorist, and $500 ded. You should be able to get a quote online or via 800# pretty much 24/7 so why don't you check out what yours would run ;) 3) Check out pictures from RX8 gatherings...it's all guys. Heck the biggest complaint around here is that RX8Club.com is a sausage party :D So. When are you gona by! What colors and options. And post pics cuz that's a requirement around here :cool: |
a side note on #2 insurance. in case those numbers don't make sense to you, i pay such a minimal amount because:
1) it's considered a 1.3 liter 2) has four doors and is not considered a sports car. it's one of the cool benefits of owning this car. |
1. Just check your oil every few fill ups as rotary engines like to eat oil. I usually juet let the dealer change the oil but could do it myself.
2. As Napboy said, its considered a low power 4 door sedan...hehe 3. I usually see guys driving them around here. |

Two quarts of oil in that time. Insurance - I've had USAA for 25 years, so I got a great deal on insurance, <600/year. Yes, girls really like this car. REPEAT - GIRLS REALLY LIKE THIS CAR! :D |
