Hello i just bought a 2005 rx8 with 20,000 miles, this is my first post on this forum.


i was just reading around and some people are saying that they get probloms with the engine over time? i also hear that the newer ones have a diffreant engine so im wondering if i am heading towrds engine problomes, sorry if i am postin gin the wrong area.

o yea it is a manual?

thanks

 

You're screwed!

I'm Ron Burgundy?

 

no seriously

 

did you buy it from a mazda dealer??? make sure it has all the current warranty work done to it.

 

Your OK, most of the complaints were about flooding, haven't heard any recent floods on here unless they are to stupid to read the manuals. Engine failures have happened but only in certain areas/ weather conditions. People tend to whine and post their aggravations. Knew a woman at work bought a brand new chevy and engine blew in one week! Crap happens, don't let the whining worry you, you have a great car.

 

yes i did buy it from a dealer and i belive it had all the recall work done on it...


anything eles. i also do have a warrenty on it but its the little warrenty liek the first base of it.

so are things going to start breaking

 

Let me consult with my crystal ball and I'll get back to you.

 

I have an early build date 2004. I live in New England and my 8 just went in yesterday exhibiting the issues apparently warranting a new engine.

I don't live in the climates suggested to cause the problem. But I have had my 8 for 42,000 miles of great driving and started to have the "problems" with the engine.

It is really hard to say if any 8 will have these problems because as far as I know... No one seems to know the real reason for the cause of this problem.

It is a great car and I had never regreted buying it. Even if I need a new engine or not.

 

Don't feed the troll

 

well say somthing does go wrong does the mazda dealer ship cover the cost?

also say i do some performace parts to it and somthing goes worng would the dealership cover it?


so i should be fine? i live in minnesota so the climete changes really often here..

also i no there is another thread about snow driving but does the car move in the snow with good snowtiers??

 

And I thought my spelling was bad !

haha sorry i doont try and spell great when im typing on the keyboard because im not to good at it.

im also not american

 

You will zero engine problems with the 06 model.

 

so i well have some probloms with my car???

 

You are strating to sound paranoid . You may or may not have problems - chances are you won't .

Sorry about the spelling remark BTW didn't realise you weren't English .

 

If you take care of the car and don't seriously ABUSE it , you should be ok for a long time.

Have some faith in your car

 

Why worry? Mazda covers your car with a bumper to bumper warranty for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The entire engine and drivetrain is covered with a 5 year 60,000 mile warranty so you shouldn't have any engine or drive line worries for that period of time. Mazda's in the process of recalling your car to check if the engine is good. If it isn't, you get a new engine. If you add aftermarket performance parts or abuse your car - you're screwed because Mazda could void your warranty coverage (depends on your dealer).

 

so if i need a new engine they should call me and let me now?
i have faith in my car but i do want this car to last me a long time and i have heard that these cars have a few engine probloms so there for i was wondering sorry for my speling also i well try and type more clear.

also like i have said earlier i know that this is mentiond in another post but could someone that has drivin it in the snow give me a LITTLE feedback on how it drive with some snowtiers and perfurably whitch kind on snow tiers becasue winter is coming and im could to be needed some soon. no need to get to indepth just simply a yes or no question does it drive or not.

thanks

also if anyone you have a AOL screen name or a MSN screen name could one of you please post it. since i am new to the car i would like to have a little talk with someone that has done any mods to this car and what .
