I don't have a lease, but if did have one and it ended I would get another 8. Honestly, there still is no other car I'd prefer than the RX8.

The Camaro aint here yet nor the Evo X, so my 8 is still the best for me.

I don't have a lease as well, but if it would prefer again the 8.
price and hp is a perfect mix.

Anyone who's had problems with their 8 will be the first ones to tell you the sexyness starts to fade as things go wrong. Picture the hottest woman you've ever seen......sexy right? Well, she just lost a tooth, then another, then she started getting a bald spot on her head.......then her left eye started to wander. How is she looking now? That is what it's like when problems start to occur.......you forget the sexyness and focus on the problems.

Tough question - On the one hand, I have had more problems with this brand new car than I have had with most of the other cars I have owned. The 1993 MX-6 wasn't in the shop as much. Why would I want to risk that again.

On the other hand if I had to give it up tomorrow? That would be hard too.

I guess I haven't really needed to really consider another car but if I was in the position I would not eliminate the 8, it would just have some black marks next to it. Now, if I could get Mazda to swap a 2006 for my 2004 with no adjustments in payments or term, now your talking.

There's a very long winded "I don't know"

I answered "yes" but then realized I probably really mean "no". I don't have a lease, but if I did, and it were expiring, I probably wouldn't go out and get a 2006 RX-8. I'd probably try to buy my current shinka off the lease.

im sure youre right, but my 8 is still looking hot!
probably after a few years the novelty will wear off and i may start looking around. but by that time a newer, sexier 8 will be out there competeing for my love and affection.
