so a friend of mine has an rx8, and it needed a bunch of recalls. he went out of town for the holidays, so he gives me the key so i can drive it to work and get em all done. so i had the car for 2 weeks and about 800 miles. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



ive driven 1st gens for years, and the rx8 is like a gsl-se but better in almost every way. its got more power, it sounds better, its easy to get in and out of, the stereo is pretty good (its loud), and its yellow.



my gripe list is pretty short, you cant see **** all out the back, and its got a lot of road noise.



mpg is down about 2 mpg from the 1st gen, i got 18-20 in the rx8, gsl-se gets 20-22.



so in short, i loved it

somehow i am not suprised. i think kahren would junk his fc if he could get an rx8 to smash up

lol, it was FUN, i dunno how people drive piston engines everyday, they just suck

buying one soon?

you need to finish the cym.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

i can put my car in neutral, roll down the hill and into my work's parking lot https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



but soon ill have to drive 35-40minutes everyday :( booo.



kevin.

takes my 15 minutes to get to work, and 30minutes to an hour to get home, 15-20 minutes is ok, but an hour to get home SUCKS

i wont take it off any sweet jumps, so there is no point https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...

my former place of employment is literally 100 yards from my house.



this was good/bad



Good: when i went out partying the night before a morning shift i could literally roll out of bed and walk to work



bad: you are always the first person they call if they need an extra person. And you cant lie about being busy or not home when they call because they can see my car in the driveway lol

if I was sitting in traffic for a hour a day I would want to be in a nice comfortable automatic transmission car with good heat and good air conditioning

someone needs to donate me an rx8 to drive around.

its called your bank account that sponsors it

You need to drive my 1J.

my 2003 legacy gt gets 19.2 mpg

and it's definitly not as fun as an 8.



but the subbie is my winter beater
