The rx-8 will likely be more reliable than the FD.
Rx7 is pretty reliable as long as you do your regular maintence and not trying to rag the car out to death. Rx7 have occasional problems, but the good thing about it is, it makes you want to learn about your car. I would never take it to a mechanic for two reason: they have no idea what is going on, second it is very very expensive. But since we have the Rx7 forum, you can get a lot of assistance and so forth.

so what is just so unreliable about it? I want to know the specifics. As mazda advertises with rx8 that rotary should be more reliable than piston engine b/c there are less moving parts.
so what makes it so unreliable?

Look at this (above) thread for and interesting glimpse at how much money were spending on these FD's.
What shocks me is that aftermarket warranties are available for these cars. For about $2k.

Spending a lot for mod is one thing, but keeping it running is another. Seems like some hardcore 7 owners modify every bolts on their car. I want to know how much a stock 7 owner would spend to keep it running.

I just put the 2k in my savings. Looks like I'll need it sooner that I thought. Got some bad gas this week.

You've got to remember, alot of guys on this board are pushing over 350 to the ground and outperforming porsches and Z06s as a result. If you want to keep your 7 relatively stock, you should be fine, as long as you follow the rules.
Horsepower and reliability are inversely proportional, especially with FDs
