Hey everyone. Ive been on here reading things from this forum. And from what im reading, it seems like everyone is haveing problems or mazda just ******* sucks with customer service. I have test drove the 6spd 06 rx8 and loved how it performed. Not the quickest thing in the world but damn could she hug the road. <3 My question is do you guys see it worth it getting the rx8 even with all the problems and **** that has happend.?

 

What problems?

 

I've had no problems, and have experienced no s*** with my RX-8.

Don't confuse forum smack talk with the real world.

 

mmk maybe just because people hate mazda :D. But ive heard things like engine blown. Loss of power after flash, lots of recalls, oil leaks, marbals in a can....

 

They just like saying bad things because they act like a smartass thinking their car is the best. welcome.

 

All very uncommon. Except recalls, but I'd rather have the company address problems than leave them out there.

 

the intraweb knows all

 

yeah i app. all ur guys help so far. Is there any news on a supercharger kit for the car yet ? or a better turbo?

 

should be some news soon. Sevenstock 9 is going on right now and expect word out of that. There's a blog here somewhere.

 

Most of your questions have already been asked and answered on threads in here.

 

I've had no problems at all. R&T just gave an "excellent" rating to the reliability of their long-term '04 after 40K miles. In their April, 2006 annual auto issue, Consumer Reports upgraded the reliability rating to "average".

Yes, you read about lots of RX-8 problems here—but that doesn't mean most owners have lots of problems. Looking for solutions (or just a sympathetic voice), people come here, quite understandably, to post problems. People who don't have problems don't bother to come on just to say "nothing went wrong with my RX-8 today". That's not news. (And that's why you can't turn on the evening news and deduce that most Americans are subject to murder, robbery, rape, fire and explosions. You'll never hear Brian Williams say "…and in the Twin Cities, today, no one was held hostage at the Mall of America.")

Finally, don't believe everything you read here. Did you know that '05 was going to be the last year of the RX-8? Mazda was going to discontinue the car due to poor sales. I read it right here—on rx8club.com.

 

well thank you everyone for helping me deside i had my mind set already. Just wanted to get some input! thanks everyone and sorry caranddriver ill stop the thread. <3 for the best club

 

haha thank you NewYorker. the rx8 is my project car now and looking to make it a beast. :D aka 350z killer :D
