so about a month and a half ago mazda decided to stop counting the customer service surveys for the rx8 owners, as they were dragging down the scores of the westcoast dealers, and it was thought unfair.



so mazda says the rx8 owners complain too much.



so the rx8 owners have gotten wind of this and are pissed.



so they are bitching cause mazda says they complain too much.

 

I think the RX-8 owners should try WRX ownership, then they would REALLY have something to complain about....

yeah, we've had i think 1 car where the updated pads didnt fix the brake squeak?



they have pretty much fixed the flooding, with the updated battery, starter, and plugs, although it still will if you turn it on move it and shut it off.



and the gas mileage, we cant do anything about, but most people dont know how to drive

 

I beat an rx8 driving my pos stock base model 2nd gen



Base model 2nd gen: $500

Pacesetter header w/ wrap : $160

Pacesetter exhaust: $150 used

Hks Intake: $150

Beating a car 20 years newer that cosed 30k: PRICELESS

 

But at the end of the day, he's still going home in a nice new car with a warranty.

 

are they pissed cause the cx-7 has more hp?

 

if you go and look at rx8 club, they are pissed about almost everything.



i dunno i dont get it, rx8 is a lot of fun to drive, a lot like the 1st gens were, but its not a z06, nor is it supposed to be.



it could get better mileage though, best ive gotten is 23 highway, my gsl-se could beat that

 

i think mazda may have mis-marketed it a bit.

 

yeah, its a confusing car, although it ends up working really well in the real world.

 

people could forgive its shortcomings, if it was more powerfull.



but then it would be a time bomb anyway
