Over 25 YEARS of EXPERIENCE! Call Adam or Chad TODAY! Our Name Means A Great Deal! ay, having nicely shaped leather seats, an excellent short throw shifter, good headroom, and a very nice 6-disc CD changer and speaker layout. Aside from the excellence of the package, I still find the RX-8 to be an acquired taste, particularly because of the rotary engine. The smooth and silky slide up the tachometer to the 9000 redline is seductive, and the RX-8 lives for the upper rev range. That rotary engine though has gained a certain notoriety as unreliable, finicky, and awfully particular to maintenance chores...it doesn't like a low oil light to come on, or the temperature gauge to move past the middle; if either of these conditions occur and are allowed to go unchecked for many minutes, it's not uncommon for damage to the apex seals in the engine to occur, and the engine to basically become a rebuild or replacement candidate! Besides that, semi-regular coil replacement, spark plug replacement, and other maintenance tasks are not very forgiving if neglected. This car wouldn't be for the average owner who is not very meticulous in caring for or maintaining their vehicle...think of the RX-8 as a more of a sports enthusiast's hobby than your average transportation.
However, if you are willing to pay attention to the details, your ownership of an RX-8 can be highly rewarding. Learn the sheer joy of cornering and carving through a twisty road, and build your driving skills with an uber-friendly, ultra-stable, hard-to-match sports car. Low mileage examples are becoming increasingly harder to find, but they will often still be extremely competitively-priced compared to a 350Z/370Z of similar year, mileage, condition, and options. It doesn't seem likely that we'll see a rotary engine again in the sports car world since Mazda has moved away from that bit of their heritage. Who know? Maybe a well-taken-care-of RX-8 might be a collector's car one day!
