rsx or rx8???

ok. The RX8 while a superbly handling car, does have some problems. 04-05 models were known for dropping motors at very low mileage. Mazda fixed this by flashes to the computer that helped the metering pump to pump out more oil. Mazda also has put a 100k mile warranty on the engines. The water pump was not redesigned till the'09 model. If you can deal with things like the driver's sunvisor, clutch pedal, AC knobs and other stuff breaking, the RX8 might be the car for you. I have owned a few RX7s (currently on my 5th FC) but will never buy a RX8. Research the car on RX8 forums, you will get your answer there if this is a car you really want.

I think most of the horror stories are probably exaggerated and are usually the result of the owner not understanding that a rotary engine has different needs than a piston engine. I've known two people who owned them without an problems. Dont know anyone personally who had a bad experience but i have read the thousands of internet horror stories.

With that said...... those engine warranties are just now starting to expire and theres probably gonna be some rollers are the market dirt cheap pretty soon. Hinson should be selling their ls1 swap within the year, so im not ready to say ill NEVER own an rx8. The platform is great, just got to evict the hamster.
