I love the way the 8 looks and handles. I have never owned a rotary before and I doubt I will again. Between the flooding, CEL's, recalls, low oil light problem, rough idle, bad gas mileage, oil usage and dealers that are the WORST, I just can't handle it any more. I have 3 other cars to drive, so the 8 is for sale.
I might miss it, but I don't think so. When I bought the car in August of 2004, I knew I was going to have a few problems since the car just came on the market. I didn't know I would still be having issues over 2 years later.

My dealership hasnt offered me much of a warranty when small things came up on the car. The A/C went out twice and I had to pay $1,200 to get it fixed for both times.
So I am trading it in next week for an 06' Tacoma X Runner.

I've loved my RX-8 and have had no problems with it -- it's the nicest looking, nicest driving car I've ever owned. I put it on the market because I just don't get enough chances to drive it. I live in the DC area, where traffic is horrific, so I can't spontaneously decide to go for a spin without worrying about whether I'm going to be standing still on the freeway waiting for some traffic jam to clear up. That's why I only have 5,500 miles on it after a year and a half (and why most of those miles are highway miles driven on Saturday and Sunday mornings).
I think selling a car is a little like breaking up with a girlfriend. It's an ordeal -- I'm already thinking about the things I'm going to miss. That said, I am looking forward to feeling a sense of relief when it's over.

Don't get me wrong, all up I love the car, but I like the idea of trying different cars every 3 years. Very keen to suss out a Honda S2000 as next option.
