No one has had a problem. Some Auto X, and aome HPDE.
The only problem you will have is the love for the RX 8 vs your wife/girlfriend.

gas cap
No problems here. Coming up on 16K after a year of driving it everyday. Only problems i had was check engine lights for gas cap (faulty) + PCM reflash, other than that, it is just oil changes and periodic topping off of the oil. Very reliable compared to VWs i've had. I'm only in service for maintainance. 
Had only filled her up once. Took her to the dealer and they are checking her out today. The fella at the service dept checked the gas cap when we dropped her off and said it felt kinda loose or something. Lord please let that be all it is. I'm so stressed I think my head is gonna pop. Please everyone keep the good reviews coming.

I also found out that low fuel can cause the CEL in this car. I was getting a CEL when I got down to around a quarter tank, and thought it was bad gas (in the car, not in me). But it happened with gas from 3 different stations. I took another look at my owner's manual and found a blurb about how low fuel levels could cause a CEL.

There's a TSB on the gas cap, they should replace it.....Just had mine done, no biggie. It's just something in the computer that measures vacuum in the gas tank and when the cap is loose it will cause the CEL to come on. Thats what was explained to me by the dealer. Hang in there......

Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews.
While looking up info on how to care for and maintain her, I came across all this negative feedback. I am worried and heartbroken over what I read. Is there anyone out there who has enjoyed their RX8? Is there anyone who has found it to be a good car for them? I could really use some encouragement.

2005 MT Touring. 17k miles, no issues save the recall work and squeaky brakes (fixed under warranty). Other than an occasional, transient rattle from the overhead console, this car is great. The fact that you're here probably dictates you know how to maintain the car, which is probably better than 50% of RX-8 owners out there. Don't fret and just drive it like you stole it.
Also, we demand pics. Grats, and welcome to the club!
