Sometimes the world creeps up on you and scars you forever... The first girlfriend, The first time I heard the Revolver Album, Georgie Best, My 650 Nighthawk Bike... But the RX8? On another level, my friends... Turbine smooth, Fantastic roadholding. Gets the speed down as fast as it gets it up, Four really comfy seats, rediculous Bose HiFi, I mean 9 speakers? Best car driving for three years from new. The father in laws expression as we swept up he hill in 3rd will stay with me, however... Just....Bliss... But even Angels have their dark side and the weekly oil checks and the worry of the engine running dry, is too much for me. Of course the killer is the crazy car tax, which needs a mortgage now, yet was pennies when I bought it, as it was classed as a 1300 car.  If you have the spare cash, give it a go, but remember... She will scar you forever...

Not cheap to run, as it is thirsty for oil, petrol and tires, with a rear set only lasting around 10,000 miles, but great fun to drive. Will seat 4 tall people surprisingly comfortably, and bring a smile to your face too.

Bought it as a "toy" and thoroughly enjoy it. It's thirty and expensive and not always practical and no use whatsoever if you do a high mileage - but it goes like excrement of a heated shovelling instrument and I have never regretted purchasing it for a nonosecond.

sporty but....

despite taking it to Europe and having a blast and loving the performance- the consumption of oil and the poor fuel consumption as well as tough suspension make this creature of beauty less than a routine practical drive

Great looking car, fantastic drive, holds the road well. Hard car to drive, continually dropping down the gears, there's very little torque. Cheap to buy, expensive to run. Averaging about 19 mpg. Needs a bit more looking after being a rotary engine, little bit of 2 stroke oil in with the petrol. Check the engine oil regularly. I would still recommend the car.

IT HAS A BOOT ........
