I should add that this has been the most trouble free car that I have owned. Of course it could use more power, the cup holders in front suck, and the gas mileage could be better--but I wouldn't trade it for anything in my price range right now.

Thanks for posting! Looks like I'm gonna have to update the 1st post. I turned 75k last month. Will try to get to it, this weekend. Maybe also search for others. Btw, I just installed Richard Paul's Axial Flow Shifter tonite and it ROCKS!!

I don't buy Kool-Aid
Just hit 50k and if you want to know what major and minor BS we had to have fixed under warrenty then just ask I'll let you know. But our MPG seams to be about the same. In fact we just had some work done at the dealer and out chevy aveo rental car sucked on MPG with the A/C on or off. So go RX-8! this car rocks and gets good gas for what it can do. Hell yes!

I'm getting close... 46,000 miles today.
She still feels like a new car. Just a shame about the few hood paint chips from rocks on the interstate.
Every once in a while I get paranoid from all the 'engine power loss' threads which end up leading to 'replaced my engine' threads - so I floor it and see if it still pushes me back in the seat. It always does, and I feel better afterwards
