there really is no quality in any upscale car anymore. you want a benz for quality? youre dumb. same with bmw's and all. mazda is trying for people who cant quite afford the upscale bimmers, but like the handling and all, so here is the rx8. less power, less expensive, same little problems.



hell sence the day i bought my m3 back in late 01, i had it in the shop MORE than my fd... its not that i would break it (except the rear end i broke) its the fact it was the first year of production for that engine and all, so they will have problems.



this is also the first year for mazda to test out their new platform and of course no matter how much r&d you do, you will still have massive problems with things.

I got kind of a buddy at Mazda here that hooks me up and I asked him straight up any problems with the RX8 that stand out. He said nothing special, seems so good so far..

Well the engine was first made it debut back in 1995 as a Concept Rx-01 it was a Red car so it's not like mazda did not had the engine to play with to make it better. Also I was just trying to help other's out who want's or thinking of buying the Rx8.I bet many of u don't know that this engine use 6 injectors for fuel huh?
