Nothing wrong with the rx8. I'm not one usually for fish but when it comes to this car it needs to be upkeeped or the issues above become relivent. My step mum has had one since new in 2005 and aside from an accident and the body shop knackering the cat due to start stopping and a mouse getting in the engine bay and chewing wires it's never missed a beat. It doesn't 'drink' oil and only needs minor top ups between annual services there is a 1L top up bottle in the boot which is more than enough. You must not start engine then turn off straight away or you will flood the engine if donor a few times, but a tow start will get it going no problem, we have had to do this a few times over the past 11 years. Smart interior, comfy and smooth. The 230bhp is the one to go for, the twin rotor. Yes they drink a load of fuel but it's a performance car........ We have recently treated the underside with wax oil as its age was starting to show but then again this car is used and it's a hazard Imo get one if you want and looked after you will enjoy.
