Rx8 got many problem?will buy year 07++ i think.. Any rx-8 sifu can help?thanks

Currently driving a peugeot 206cc. It dint satisfy me with the power i wanted.

depends on what you want to do with your new car, if you just want a daily driver and not planning for further mods or anything I say the Civic would be a good choice easy to maintain car.

RX8 would be a good car as well, but you need some basic knowledge on how to maintain a rotary engine to keep the car in tip top condition

if not mistaken rotary engine needs to be rebuilt after 100k km mileage. the cost of rebuilding the engine, not sure, you have to ask rx8 experts. other parts should be pretty ok but on ave mazda spare parts are more costly compared to honda.

Like wat i mention, i wanted my new car with looks and speeds! I will use it as daily car.
I heard from others to rebuilt the engine need around rm 8k? Im not so sure too.

Bro...if u are not willing to commit to time and money then I suggest going for civic.
RX8 will be more rewarding car to drive and own therefore only for the true petrol head...

there was a problem in US with the 2005 RX8 model, but only in the US, due to the oil spec and cat damage from the emission control standards. Basically the car was badly tuned by Mazda to comply with the emissions. I don't think other RX8's in other countries were affected so no issue with "the engine has to be rebuilt every 100k".

I have a 2009 RX8 series 2 auto and it's the best car I have ever driven! You can take corners in this car at really crazy speeds and it never loses it! Looks pretty cool too! I don't think I can get the same buzz from a Civic.

Id stay away from rotary engine if i was you.. theres a lot of rx8 in the market that people wanna get rid with, surely that means something.. but no doubt, a rotary engine that runs perfect will surely gives u a smile..

there's a lot of other makes of modified and thrashed performance cars on the market I would stay away from also! Like everything else, check before you buy. Anyhow, with only 3 moving parts, the rotary is the easiest (and cheapest) engine to rebuild should you need to.
