CA 07 RX8 recommended?

I see a lot of 07 RX8s going for good prices. Would you recommend me to get one? Are they reliable in general? from what I read, it seems like that a lot of early year ones had a some problems i.e. getting new engines because apex seals and coolant seals broke. btw i am planning to use this car as a DD.

my 07 is my DD as well. ive only got 24000 on it but its running great, just make sure you change the oil every 3000 and check your oil level every other time you fill up.

I've had my '07 RX8 for about 15 months now. I've had no problems whatsoever (other than a few assorted sqeaks and rattles).

I'm pretty hard on my car, since I only have about a five mile (one-way) trip to work everyday. All of that short-distance, stop-and-go driving doesn't seem to have hurt one bit.

You probably know this already, but the gas mileage on these cars is pretty bad, so I hope you're prepared to fill the tank often!

If you take care of the car, redline it once a day check oil every 500 miles your fine.

Same risk as any used car

yeah 07s are good but it still depends on the individual car. make sure you do your homework and check it out thoroughly
