hey guys just doing a little survey and would love it if you guys can give me the date and year your car was made and also what list of problems you've had with your RX-8 so far??? Thanks!

 

Built January 2004 - No major issues...... yet.

 

built in Aug of '03 , not a single problem ( was already flashed with the "M" flash)

 

built Sep 03, 7500 miles, no problems.

 

Built Sept 03, 3000 miles, no problems! IT ROCKS!

 

Awesome!! Keep Em coming guys

 

Built Feb '04. Only problem was an improperly installed float in the fuel tank which caused my gauge to read at 1/2 tank, when in actuality it was empty. I ran out of gas on the freeway, but Mazda roadside was quick, and the dealer fixed it no problem.

 

Built Aug 2003. Zero problem except < 18 mpg.

 

May 2003, 19,300 miles => Oil Pan TSB

 

Oct 03. 7500 miles. Brakes on order due to squeal (TSB). Replaced tunnel crossmember due to obstacle in road (3 days in the car and forgot I wasn't in my truck; no body damage, though). Gotta few rattles inside with the radio up a bit, but I figure it's normal.

Nothing at all!

 

July '03
All the various recalls and updates. At this point, I can't remember all of them.
2 floods, had car towed
Flapping inner fender liner on passenger side
Radio changes stations on it's own.
2 CEL's, were reset

More problems than a typical new car, but nothing catastrophic. Love the car.

 

New posts: can you also ad your mileage when you bought the car as well? Thanks!!!

 

New to the Forum, hello all! Absolutley loved my MX-6 and this is carrying on the tradition of driving pleasure. Pink Floyd blasting and a grin ear to ear.
Built August '04 or there about's. Two differences with the 2005, keyless entry has retractable key like the Volkswagon / Audi version. Very handy and they have dropped the two tone interior = mine solid Black on Black.

This car is a rocket and I have yet to really let it out. Mind you I do not baby it as I was told carbon build up of any kind is not good for a rotary.

I have just started reading some of the threads in this forum and found them to be very informative.

Salut and keep the rubber side down!

 

1.04 Only problem is not enough curvy roads in FL.

 

nada.

But only 900 miles!
