Hey guys,

So I currently have a 2000 Porsche 911 but am selling due to being a student and the maintenance costs are killing me. I figure I can have cars like that once I get out of med school. Anyways I am currently torn between two cars. Both are within my budget. A huge thing is reliability. I do not drive a ton. Maybe 50 miles a week at the very most.

OPTION A: I am looking at an 09 RX8 GT that has a full r3 body, wheels and interior. White (which is a plus) I hate keeping black cars clean. 12k miles. $1,800 more expensive than option B. I feel like I could do some light modding and be very happy (tint, radar, CAI, HID's, Navi)

OPTION B: 2006 Honda Civic Si. Cheaper, 55k miles.

I feel like the RX8 is the obvious choice but how reliable will this car be? I know they burn oil which isn't a big deal as I usually check oil on my 911 daily just to be safe. With as little as i drive can I expect to get good life out of the rx8?

Also, can navigation be added to the rx8's? How are the sound systems stock?

Thanks guy and hopefully I will be joining you very soon!

I would answer your question here, but since I'd just be re-typing everything that I posted in this thread: New and Potential Owners START HERE (https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=202454) which is also a sticky in this very subforum, I am just going to ask that you read the first 9 posts in that thread, and ask questions either there or in this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/dumb-question-thread-no-flaming-sarcasm-allowed-208221/
