Obviously people here know nothing about a rotary engine. you DO NOT need to rebuild the engine at X amount of kilometres. it's simply called a SERVICE.

my mates rx8 is on a second engine already wen it hit near 80k's, fuel eccono = expect 350kms full tank (based on mates car) + mazda will try and find every excuse to rip that cash outta ya pocket
all in all, IMO get a dc5, cheaper to maintain, honda reliability, more aftermarket parts, better econno by farRrrr!!
*Not being honda biased*
oh yeh ..... the renesis engine drinks engine oil hard, expect to keep spare oil around the house or in car for top-ups!
:( -----> and how do i know all this, i live wiff the fool hahha
^tru that
MAKE sure u maintain it very very well. it can last way more longer.
Hmm yeah i guess i should call up and ask if they have had engine rebuilds before i buy however i still dont believe that the rx8 was that much of a lemon. And i do believe that uf a care is properly maintained why would the engine need to be rebuilt so often lolsss. Mmm Dc5 R vs Rx8 vs Ep3 R such a hard decision =(
have u driven an rx8?
if not i tell u right now, at low revs feels like a yarris. but higher rpm its aight.
pretty gutless imo but nothing a turbo wont do.
but other than that, damn nice car to drive.
Every 20,000??? Please... your kidding me right? lolQuote:

I really dont think they need one every 20000 km that would mean they are probably the most unreliable car everQuote:

Buh yeah i doubt the rx8 s up for sale with over 100,000 kms on carsales each have had 5-6 engine rebuilds costing 12.5 -15 k
20,000k is like what 1yr? roughly estimate when u should b concerned mate.Quote:

rebuilds go for 2.5 - 4 g max if u gonna pay over 6g u mite as well go shoot urself.:angel:
just be prepared to rip out cash if u want 1.
they never mention this crap on car magazines lol ''oh btw your guna be rebuilding ur engine every 2 years or so'' it won wheels coty in 2004? not to sure.
i no the R35 GTR needs a $10,000 service at its 100,000kms mark. they take the entire engine out and balance it ect. also charge around $1300 for transmission and diff fluid change lol
i know the BMW M series range get free service while under the 3 year warranty
anyway back on topic. DC5R>RX8 .
rx8 comes in auto aswell.. DONT GET AUTO loses like 15kw at the engine
DC5.
Have driven an RX8 and to be honest I wasn't really amused. It's nice and it goes fast enough, but you don't have that Honda feeling and sound that you get when your VTEC lobes kick in.
I dunno...I feel the same about the 350Z turbo as well. Nice/fast but no 'soul' or 'rawness' that makes you smile when you're thrown back in your seat. It's too smooth, too quite, and just too easy to be amusing...
