The good news is, though, that the 8 can be repaired to just-like-new.

Make sure you look for Phee, another of our kind who also hangs out here a lot. You and she both are from San Diego (I'm in LA Co). We could have a Ladies Only RX-8 drive!
Hey, that's me! Welcome to the board, Girl.

First off, your son's friends will think you rock just for buying the car. He will never ask you to "drop him off a block before" anywhere again. And it definitely gets male attention

Seriously, it's the most fun car I've ever driven, and it handles sooooo smoothly. I look for excuses to drive. If I can help in any way, send me a private message. And Aratinga's idea of a Ladies RX-8 cruise would be way fun. We could tear up SoCal!

well you're in trouble then as its already the "chick RACE-car"

Girl - I don't think they even sell the 8 in pink. *ducks*

What I MEANT to say was if you like the way it drives, can handle the periodic maintenance, and are in fact a girl, then yes, the RX8 is for chicks.

Is this car "cool" for an adult woman, divorced ? My son age 10 loves it. I am very feminine and fun loving and just appreciate the car. I would rather have that car than a BMW or Lexus.
I don't want to see like a guy .............. Do girls have this car too ?
I love seeing women in the RX8. Especially good looking one. I think its sexy as hell and shows you have taste.

76% of current owners are male, according to JD Powers.

Well, for as much testosterone as we ladies usually have to endure around here, a little estrogen can't be that bad.

what a cute baby! A girl in my highschool has a blue rx-8 adn it fits her perfectly. I think the car has to reflect your personality. However, my grandfather never use to think like that....

thats wat i do... and plus i think a girl would look down upon a guy if they were driving an automatic... i know alot of my friends say that when they meet my friend with a g35 coupe... "ahh wat? an automatic? why didnt u get the manual?" im pretty sure if they were talkin about a rx8 they would be a little more harsh seeing how the automatic has less power and all

Silver1, you forgot the ladies in Texas and of course, when you come through north Louisiana on your convoy to Florida, I'll join in, too. :D

I've had my 8 for over a year and half and have absolutely loved every single minute and can't wait to get in it and drive every chance I can.

Just wave or acknowledge fellow 8 drivers, and I'll give you the thumbs up. I hate when I pass by 8 owners (male or female) and they don't acknowledge me. ********.

Red face I am getting one !

Thanks for all the posts and replies. It is great so many women have them.
I will most likely be buying one (silver), SOON ! After I drove one I knew I loved it but wish the expected reliability was a little better.
Now my only issue is reliability which after reading through the posts, I believe I will overlook and live with ... and hope if anything fails it does so under warranty.

Cheers to the ladies RX8 club ! Such a neat car . There are a lot of people browsing around here. I am so glad I found this place.
