Time to trade in the rx8 for a push mower
After not even owning my car for a week, im sad to say its time for it to go. This car is by far the worst vehicle i have owned, and i regret trading in my 350z. Although it does drive good, my push mower has more torque than this thing does. And the gas mileage is ungodly. I have had built v8's that have gotten better gas mileage than this car. What the hell is going on, i decided to throw a few racks of ribs under the hood on the way to work, and in that short 10 minute drive they were jerky. So I feel its time to move on. I just hope I can trade it in before i put another 100 miles on it and have to fill it up again.

You gotta be kidding right! What did you expect from a 1.3 liter............did you not research the car before buying. All things considering what this car dishes out from that kind of displacement is F!*#@ing amazing.

if only one could turn back the hands of time.
didn't you do research before trading in for an 8? it's pretty obvious that it doesn't have a lot of torque. the specs of the car say it all. 232 hp 159 torque 18/23 city/highway mpg. did you expect 300 hp 280 torque 24/30 mpg?

Not everybody is smart enough to do the research on a purchase before they actually do it. Could of just came to this site before he did the trade in and found the downfalls of the 8. Even after a week you cant really appreciate the "fun factor" of the 8

I will agree on the gas mileage.
The Z is a fun car, the torque is fun, but the car feels like a whale in the corners, I thought it felt a bit twitchy in the corners.
Did you even test drive the 8 before you bought it?

This guy has no driving skills. He needs a point and click car.
I'll bet you are a wannabe street racer too . . . . . . . . Risking lives with a heavy right foot, just so you can tell your friends "I killed a xxxxxxx today"

next time you buy a car, at least read the freaking brochure with the cars specs. Also there's something called a test drive. Turd!
