one of my friends want to buy a RX8 automatic. 04, 22000mile on it.

so, what i'm asking is who dose it feel when you drive it and do you guy's have any sort of problem with it... please i need your help to make my disunion

who is the gas milage?

 

I wouldn't buy an automatic. I think he or she would very dissapointed.

 

To answer your question... I am the gas mileage.

 

who dose it feel when you drive it

Not good.

 

because he doesn't know how to drive a manual??

 

it's very nice car with F1 shifting package and bose sound system

 

I bought the RX-8 and my 18 year old who had never driven a standard was out driving that night after 2 hour lesson. Never even stalled it on a hill.

 

I had to buy the a/t, but would rather have the m/t. I still enjoy it though and the a/t gets better mileage then the m/t. It's my 7th rotary engine car and the most fun yet. To get the true feel of a sports car (or any car) a manual transmision gives you more control. Once up to speed both cars have a good feel and feed-back, but if draging at stop lites and faster is importaint you have to have the m/t.

 

I am the Eggman.

How dose numbur too werk for!?!?

 

i tried to teach him how to drive MT but he suck's, i spent with him one hour that night and still don't know how to shift..

but that's not my point. is it a good car, i heard it have problem's with the transmission other stuff is that for real or what????

 

 

Get a MT

 

My wife has a AT .. she enjoys the car a lot , even has a name FANTSY , I drive it some , the AT with the paddle shiters is nice.
ON gas milage she gets around 21.5 on 32 mile trip one way in the Dallas/FT Worth area in traffic.
Hope this helps

 

You say disuion, I say disunion, she says ...

 

i wish it my choice to chose between MT or AT i will go with MT with out thinking.
my friend he's gonna get AT any way's
thanks every one for your help.

 

tell him good luck, take em out for a test drive in both, u drive the MT of course, then drive the AT, show him what he is missing

 

AT will get you less speeding tickets. I have an AT and couldn't be happier. If I could afford two cars I'd have the MT. I fight traffic everyday and can't have a MT as of right now. I test drive the MT every time I go in for service just to fulfill my urge. Test drive the MS6 thats another fun MT ride.

 

what about transmission leaking and engine ??

 

You are my hero.

 

I've got A/T and no leaks of any sort or engine problems.

 

The only really cool thing about the A/T transmission is that when you are going 29mph and give it full throttle, the car downshifts to 1st and flys, it actually feels like it pulls harder than the M/T at that point.

 

^ I've actually done that. Pretty cool. It's hard to get it to shift to 1st though. Mine usually goes to 2nd and drags ***.

 

i second that. this is the way to go. show him the light.

 

thanks guys for your help,

i will post for you some picture's of the car next week
