2005 Mazda RX8 review from North America
"Make Sure You Have A Second Car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Rx8 sucks!!! Transmission blew, motors been replaced
at only 15000 miles!!
Brakes are always noisy,
General comments?
No one knows how to properly care for a rotary powered car in north america, for starters they were meant to
burn oil,
secondly, in japan they have 108 octane gasoline right out of any local gas station!
The rotary motor only runs good on high octane gasoline
and at whatever climate japan is at.
No rotary has ever been reliable.
How many Rotary engines have you've heard making it
past 200,000k without a engine rebuild?
I'm sure there's a couple lucky souls out there,
for those who have made it that far... GO BUY A LOTTO TICKET ASAP!!!
