I've been searching for a car that has some decent power and is fun to drive. I've been trying to stay away from coupes because I would like to have functional interior space, but I hear the 8 is actually more roomy thaqn one would think. I also love the idea of the rotary engine because they seem so simple, even if they sacrifice torque. I've been reading that 8's are a little high maintenance despite their acclaimed reliability. My friend has had his 8 flood on him, and he's had to add a quart of oil every couple thousand miles.

any words of wisdom for a potential rx8 owner?

 

I don't know if he's seen this thread yet, but you should PM wsoape. He's the biggest rotary guy around here.
