Nice RX-8! Sorry to hear about the GSL-SE though.

nice - should have got a third gen.

Rx-8 has more of a chance for longevity without the intensive care required of a 3rd gen.

Exactly.

3rd gens look better.

red_blast

too bad about your first gen.
rx-8 = not a bad way to go at all!! haha. NICE!

if i was worried about longevity i'd buy a bike - J/k looks good - good luck with it

i like the rx-8's. personally i think it was a good choice. i will agrere with the above. i would have rather had a third gen. oh well, it isn't my money.

What do you mean "No more 1st gen ownership for me"?

yea never know.... you may have just bought a 1st Gen RX-8

I've never met an Rx that I didn't like, any model or generation. But I must say, I've never driven one that I like more than my 1st gen. It's got the right combination of weight and quality that Mazda hasn't gotten right since.

That's True

I dont really think the RX-8 has been out long enough to really know the longevity/intensive care of the car. All of them are still under factory warranty. Maybe a few have been driven out of the milage range of warranty. But I have learned for the most part that buying a car the first year they come out tends to bite you in the ***. Aftermarket usually catches on on the 2nd year after the minor problems/major disasters of the 1st year have been found out.

But Hey Really nice ride. But a 3rd gen with a single turbo kills alot of that intensive care issues..

Have fun with it.

purple82

It's the turbo that kills the 3rd gen.

So what happened to the 1st gen that you had to dismantle it?
