Not negative thread in any way, but the 8 has been around for almost 7 years and curious to see what people are getting after the 8. People get the car then move on for many reason. Be it for financial, more power, more luxury, more traditional sports car, a convertible, more reliability, more space, lease expiring, change of preference, bad service experience, etc.

Lots of people stop and say bye before they leave and others stick around on the forum after selling the 8. Something in one place would be nice.

What did you get to take its place?
Reason for selling the RX8 for above vehicle?

 

I'm just gettin' started with my RX-8!
no replacement anywhere near in sight.

 

You should really ask for permission before starting threads like this.

 

Well my 8 replaced the bus... Lol

 

I'm going to own this thing until the day I die...and then i want to be buried in it

 

My next car is going to be a little bit more spacious and have a little more power behind it. I'm sure I'll miss the great balance and handling that the 8 has, but I'd also like something a little different for a while. After that, I'm not sure if I'll find myself wanting to get back into an 8, but by that time, we should know whether the new RX car is going to be out/is out and that might be an option.

 

why? just curious

 

^lol check the suggestions section

 

ha ha ha omg that is funny. i read the first post and was like, permission?? just start the thread.

zoom- very funny!

 

I love my 8 and will replace it newer (09) 8 this summer...

 

Wow, this is probably the funniest thing I've read from a mod so far.

On topic: None yet. I love my 8 to death.

 

you weren't here when i called some college professor a moron- THAT was funny

 

`1987 RX7 S4 Turbo II
Laid off from work.

There. Are you happy now?

 

2010 camaro ss and 2008 z06 vette

wait i actually was ABOUT to replace the 8 each time i got the above but couldnt bare the fact of letting the 8 go so kept it and paid for those instead of trading the 8 in the z06 i owe to the guy who set my house on fire and the camaro ive always wanted so paid sticker for it

 

a TURBO Rx8 to replace N/A rx8 ...

 

I replaced my 05 RX-8 with an 09 RX-8.

 

RX-8 --> 2005 Honda Accord Coupe 5MT (financial considerations)

Miss the 8 everyday but my car expenses are half what they used to be

 

Replaced 2004 RX-8 with a 2010 VW JSW TDI (turbo diesel) and a motorcycle. Going to get a second motorcycle shortly

I've abandoned any plans for sports cars in trade for much faster bikes. The cage gets 35 mpg city, and while I haven't had any highway trips yet, most people seem to get mid 40's or higher.

 

I've got a 2009 Jetta TDI Wagon.. Usually get mid to upper 30's driving in town and upper 40's on the highway. The worst part about this thing is all the torque. Traction is very hard to come by, especially if you have snow tires on...

I miss my old 2004 RX8 tho, so I'll be picking up an R3 while they are cheap.

What kinda motorcycle are you riding? I've got a KTM Duke, perfect thing for riding like an ***!

 

sorry mysql but that thing is hideous looking.
I'll stick with my torque-less wonder RX8

 

^ I love the interior though...and the nice fat steering wheel. Quick question though...I see it's a stick, but only see 2 pedals???

 

ATL-GP, good question. I had to do a double take myself. Clutch peddle is never as long as the brake or throttle.

Woops, can't say throttle since it doesn't have one. They call it a go peddle.


Jedi, it gets 3x the fuel economy as the RX-8. That's the reason why one buys a TDI. It also has more room inside than most SUVs, which is why I got the sportwagon. There is also something to be said about a vehicle where people complain that their clutch only lasted 200,000 miles, or that their paint is starting to look bad at 300,000 miles.

I can always buy another sport car. I am tired of buying underdogs though. Having to explain why something is good gets old after a while. The RX-8 was a looker. The VW JSW is a commuter.


Skip to 2:15 to see it drive:

Cool. You have pics of the Camaro and Vette?

 

135i...didn't replace the 8 tho.

needed something that can go over speed bumps and inclines without a lot of trouble...hahaha

 

Haven't yet. I just can't bring myself around to do it. I have test driven a few cars, including the BMW 135, the new Camaro SS, and even a WRX STi... but I just don't consider them as fun to drive or as enjoyable on a daily basis. Right now, enjoying life sans car payments.
