after seeing the rx-8 in xmen i had to get some info on it. it looks like such a badass car, and quick too. so my question is are the rx-7's reliable, and do u think the rx-8s will be too? are they like hondas/acuras in the sense that if properly maintained they can take 200,000miles or more? also, wut is a rotary motor? on mazdas website they were talking about how they were the first to use it but i still dont know what it is and what the advantages are. thanks.

 

Do a search man before you get flamed in here. We get those kinds of questions every time a newbie comes in here. Just use a search button.

 

i think the rx8 is more reliable than the 7... Its not proven yet but N/A motor like the 1st gen and 2nd gen are more reliable, assuming it is well taken care! FD3S or 3 generation Rx7 have Sequential Twin Turbo which produce a tremendous amount of heat compare to N/A engine. Do browse the net to find out more about a Rotary engine, there are tons of them. You never know, you might get hooked on the rotary engine... it can be very addictive...

 

There as reliable as you want them to be.. you just have to be able to put in the time and the cash

Wanna know something really weird, 90% of the fc's and SA22's (n/a ones) I have seen have on average have less miles then most FD's I have seen... and this is in Hawaii where you can drive around the island in about 2-3 hours doing speed limit!
