I bought this car knowing of it's faults, and now i have the opportunity of making tutorials on how to fix them and actually enjoy the car :)

Rx8 is great. I own one and I literally love it. It all depends on what you're looking for in a car. The Rx8's major drawback is gas. It gets about 19-24mpg with a healthy ignition system and drops as plugs,coils, and wires wear. That's about the only thing worth mentioning. There is also special maintenance which most people bitch about being too hard when in reality it's fairly easy. This maintenance cannot go ignored or else you'll screw your engine to hell. Other than that, I love my car.

My uncle had one of these, but sold it for a CX-7. I wish he still has his RX-8, it's an awesome car

That was like the perfect music when he turned it on.

Paddle shifters on RX-8???!!! What you thought I hate it or give it a negative review? No... I LOVE IT!!!!
-
from what I've heard: warm weather= 3min engine warm up cold weather= 10 min engine warm up is all that true?
-
i've driven my friends rx8 a few times. im definitely with you on power, it really feels like shit at low RPM especially when trying to pass another car in 4th or 5th but i think the 50/50 weight distribution and sharp handling make up for it.
-
Why on earth would you pair this engine with an automatic gearbox, surely the whole point is the high revs and aggressive shifts that the engine can handle
-
If you can be responsible then yes, and don't get the automatic, this car in a manual is really really awesome to drive.
-
Im glad you mentioned the engine flooding thing, alot of people dont realize that and complain about the cars reliability. Paddles are very wierd the way theyre laid out. But a very fun car

This car is fun to ride in. My parents have one, a winning blue 2004, with an '07 engine. The '04s had recalls on them. We went from like 70-100 in about 5 seconds and for an auto that's good for having only 200hp. The stick makes 250hp. Only bad thing about our rx-8 is that the manual mode has nearly a 2 second shift delay. Not good
-
Ahhh, that rotary sounds so good. Especially up past 4,000 rpm.
-
Man that sounds sooooo good! My cousin had one with a six speed manual and leather seats! Too bad I didn't have my drivers license at the time :( Would have loved to drive it!
-
I really like the different styling cues of this car and it looks very nice on the outside.

rotary+automatic=ken block+retalin

Thank you for the review. This is the only or the first ? RX8 automatic review in YouTube. It really open my eyes about the difference between automatic an manual rx8.
-
The rx8 might be my next car, though definitely a six speed, no autos for me lol
-
sounds amazing after 6.5K RPM :) BTW for those interested in rotary engines you should do yourself a favour and look up "4 rotor" videos on YouTube, amazing engineering.
