Good advice steve. Im still undecided TBH. As id only be able to afford a 10 year old one.....which tbh, im not sure about as at that age id imagine a lot of problems arising, which I couldnt really afford to fix if it was anything half major...........

I could get a lot newer RX8 which would probably give me a lot less problems.......not looked in to that yet though.....................

RX-8 may not be the best choice in that sector, the 350Z would be however. Pisses all over the RX-8 and Boxster (All models including cayman imo) It also looks incredibly fresh. It also has a wealth of tuning options

The RX-8 will require a top up of oil with EVERY tank of fuel. It also (imo) looks a bit weird.

Brother in law has one, and hes never put oil in it since he bought it nearly a year back.  If someone is having to do that then I would suggest they have bought a pup.

Common with the older Rx7, using oil/fuel equally

Then I would wonder if they ever drive it! The engine in the RX8 is of total loss design. It will use ALL the oil in the engine up to coat the rotor tips. Any that I have seen have needed more than a litre per 1000 miles.

bro-in-law does about 200 a week IIRC.  Hes pretty clueless, and doesnt top his oil up between services.  His next car is an audi of some form!

My dad is the same, he tops the oil up when the light comes on :lol:

Preventative maintenance isnt something he  buys into.
