I am thinking about a 2004 RX-8. I haven't heard much but do anyone know if there are any known problems with the cars? Any info would be helpfull.

 

typical rotary problems. the renensis motor is pretty underpowered and the engine bay i pretty damn cluttered, but they look cool : p

 

make it worth ur while and get the 08 40th ae or wait it out a few months and pick up the all new 2009 rx8 r3

how is the 13b under powered? when its making almost the same amount as the 13b-rew? so the FD is under powered?

 

The electric power steering can act up. That's the only problem my brother's 8 has.

 

AHHHH! I can't make up my mind too! either save up for a FD and have all Gens 7s or a 8 what do you guys think?

 

i had one for a while, it was rad. Handled great all stock, milage was really bad, but i loved it. Who drives a rotary and hopes to get decent milage anyways. but I never had a problem, bought mine pre-owned it was an 04 with 38k miles dont get black, mine always looked liek ****. oh and the grand touring options are worth it. it was my first car with GPS and i would also recomend that. I will be considering getting anohter one or a Mazdaspeed 3 once my financials clear up.
But over all it was under powered, and fun as hell to drive. only seats 2 and a half when i drove. I couldnt stand anyone behind me, and I am only 6-1. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks for all the info, its a 04 with 45k on it and they are asking $16900 for it. with a 3 month full power train warrenty included. Its also the touring package.

Does that sound right?

 

i heard from a buddy of mine that mazda extended the engine warrenty on all
rx8s
