bought RX8 today
Bought a 2006 RX8 today as my first car!
I didn't do the compression test because the car can have a good cold start and the dealer offers a 1 year or 12000 miles warranty.
Car runs great, try to hit 8000 rpm on the road.
The engine sounds different, but I like the sound.
Update: There is something wrong with the engine coolant level warning light. The light will on for like 10 minutes and then turned off. The dealer checked the coolant reservoir and told me I don't need to be worried about it. They refilled the coolant reservoir and there is no leaking. They told me there is something wrong with the sensor, and they will order one and change it.

Hot starts also works fine. They give me a 1 year and 12 months warranty, and the engine still under the 8 year / 100000 miles warranty, I think I will be fine. Thank you!

Coolant level sensor is inside the bottle and is a very common issue with higher mile rx8s. There's not much you can do about it without replacing the entire bottle, or just unplugging the sensor.
