Never driven an import? Are you stuck in the 90s in the FnF mindset?

LOL. Hopefully he got a warranty. Those things go through motors like my last bitch went through tampons.

Look at the bright side, at least your Cobra will no longer be the biggest turd in the school parking lot!!

Full tank of gas, 1 quart oil, repeat. See if you can move it ten feet, turn it off then start it again.

I wa gonna say something about tue whole oil burning thing. You never really need a full oil change because you are adding a new quart every month

I almost bought one of those because I love the looks and the interior, but everything else makes me not want one.

By the way, the reason they go through motors is because people don't know that they have to check the oil levels often in a rotary engine. I'm not saying you should have to, or that the average consumer even knows what a rotary engine is, just pointing it out.

A guy I worked with had one. Test pipe, Borla cat back, cold air. My stock 98 Svt contour would wax the chainsaw all day. I hated them when they came out and still hate them now. What's up with the sliding lid on the full length console?

Yeah that kinda bothers me.

I hope he enjoys the price of 93 octane. Running it on anything less will kill it. Tellhim if he starts it he better be driving it or letting it run for more than a few minutes. Those cars flood if you look at it wrong.

Hope he likes adding oil 4 times between oil changes...

I'm sure there is always room for one more

I had an 04 and put two motors in it inside of 6 months. My buddy has an 06 shinka rx8. (not completly sure of year) He has had it a few years and no problems at all except he's a retard at driving it and keeps hitting the front bumper on shit. I enjoyed the shit outta mine while I had it just for the handling aspect of it. I could take corners in it faster than I could have ever taken them in my bullitt. But then again if it's getting a motor every three months the handling doesn't really matter.

The bad parts of RX8:
Shitty mileage
Shitty Resale
Shitty build quality
will flood if you stall it and require towing to the dealer
looks like shit from the front
looks like shit from the side
looks like shit from the back
worthless backseat
stupid looking door that goes to the worthless backseat
expensive as fuck to mod

Pretty much nailed it!

A buddy's wife drives one of these pieces and you are dead on with your points! Every winter we have to tow it two or three times to the dealer when it floods out in the morning. He wants to get rid of it real bad, but his wife likes it soo.... I'll keep towing it to the dealer for him lol.

[YALE]

Shit, for what they charge to replace that little rotary, you could have a 5.3 swap done with change leftover, and better mileage to boot.

[black50]

What cause them to flood out so bad? If it dies will the injectors keep dumping fuel in it and since it doesnt have valves the fuel will just go right into the rotor/combustion chamber?
