I'm TRYING to provide some solid, useful data on RX-8 reliability, but can't seem to get enough of you guys signed up to participate.
Details here: Vehicle reliability research
On the RX-8 being a great value, I recommend it all the time as the best value going. Does seem to be an acquired taste, though, as most people aren't willing to venture so far outside the box.

And I am sure europeans actually gets 4-port version on manual transmission too. So with all these problems with 4 port version of engines, you would think they would rate it lower in europe than here. I think I am in "+10 problems so far club" and in "the most frequent dealer visits club".

Plus I don't think 3-series is timeless ... heh.. so it really depends on your taste.
