A Few Questions
New to the Forums... been reading like hell on em these past few days...
So here it goes.. im about to purchase an RX-8... now I have 2 choices..
a 2007 AT or a 2006 ST.
First question...
Have these cars have had any problems with the AT Trans?
I dont race.. i know its has less HP, St is better blah blah etc etc... but I've had some people
tell me that the rx-8's AT trans could give me problems in the future...
any thing ya can say about this?
2nd-
The 2006 one (my favorite atm) has only 13,000 miles on it...
I find it a bit odd.. and I noticed the vendor a bit... hm... twitchy about the car...
I did test drive it and ohh man it was a dream... my question...
You guys ever heard anything on people messing with the millage on rx-8's?
Like I said.. it has only 13,000 miles on it and I find it very odd...
speacially here in Puerto Rico where people tend to.. umm.. kill cars.. hehe
Thank you.

ST? Nvm standard Transmission.... Anyway use carfax and go to the dealer to see if the car needs any updates and stuff.
The 06/\ At's are much better than the 04 versions as the newer ones have a 6 speed transmission.

Carfax worked like a charm. thx guys...
turns out this car was a lease vehicle...
and the millage was correct.
Tomorow im going to see it with a friend who is a rotary engine mecanic...
the guy has been talking to be about "wankel" since we where kids.. and I was always
like WTF???
he has totalled 3 RX-7 Turbo II's cause he's a speed demon... hehe
so.. if he tells me to buy... I will
and will post some pics here also
again.
thanx

Seriously just try them both out, see what you prefer... some like autos, because they mostly cruise around, and many like Manuals because sports cars are made to be manual

Thank you.
but get it checked out to make sure the odometer is accurate. and go with the manual transmission. more power.
