2005 Mazda RX8 Shinka Edition review from North America
"I love this car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love 2005 Mazda RX-8 Shinka Edition. 1st new purchase right out of the glass window with only 12 miles on it.
I've had no problems with my car in 2 years.
Then the engine light came on for the first time. I immediately took it to my dealer as I always have.
I've never missed an oil change and take excellent care of my baby.
My dealer tells me I need a new engine at only 21000 miles!
I'm so disappointed. Not knowing if I should keep it or get out from under it. Will I have to replace another engine in 2 years? Will my warranty still be good?
I truly love my car! It handles like a dream and corners like nothing I've ever driven before.
