I had an rx-8 and the inside was nice but the car itself wasn't for me. I had mine recalled due to the cold start problem. Which is a pain in the ass. Someone wakes you up in the morning..."You parked me in can you move your car" I go down stairs...move my car and then go back to sleep, wake up and go to work only to find out my car wont run.

Mazda fixed it for free but told me it could happen again and there's no rhyme or reason to it happening.

I didn't like the power band of the car. I drove a wrx and a sr20 240 before I had the RX-8. I would look down and be going fast, but it didn't feel like I was going fast...if that makes any sense.

The car handled well for what you would think, I mean it's suppose to be a sports car. My 240 and wrx handled better in my thoughts.

Sold the car and bought an MR2. If it was me, skip the Rx8 and get something else.
