is the rx-8 a car worth to buy. i've heard about many problems like cold startings, flooding, the huge oil consumption, the huge fuel consumption, engine lasting, and some more.. and what happens when the car floodes and why cant you fix the problem yourself?? how many km (or miles) can you drive with the car without problems.( i dont take the spark plug changing a problem)?? please answer if you know..


thanx

 

please search if you don't...

 

I'll answer your questions in short but take the time to search since these issues have been addressed a lot lately.

Flooding MAY occur if you turn off the engine before it reaches operating temp. You can fix it yourself but if you can't, then that's when you take it to the dealer.
Engine replacements are rare.
Fuel consumption is what you would expect from a sports car.
Like all vehicles, the number of problem free miles has a direct correlation with how you treat/maintain your car.

 

those answers where good so actually the car dont have any problem if you treat it good

 

Yes, the RX-8 is worth buying. You get a lot for your money at the price Mazda expected it to sell for. The fact that it's not very popular here makes it an even bigger bargain.

I'm not aware of many "problems with cold starting". If there were, they undoubtedly happened during the first year of production, before Mazda switched to a beefier battery.

Flooding was a problem on some early cars. Again, the switch to a bigger battery and more powerful starter motor pretty much solved flooding issues. What's important to remember is to NOT turn the cold engine off before it has a chance to warm up. Takes only a few minutes to warm.

There has never been "huge oil consumption". The Renesis sips oil be design. ("Huge oil consumption" makes it sound like there's a design or manufacturing flaw, which is simply not true!) You're supposed to check oil level every other fill-up. (But I've always done that with every car I've owned, anyway, so what's the big deal?)

Fuel economy is a little disappointing, considering the small size of the engine. Of course, it is a rotary engine, which uses more fuel. Most people—even car enthusiasts—fail to realize that the advantage of this little engine—as opposed to other, reciprocating little engines—isn't fuel economy—it's superb feel & handling, courtesy of the low, near mid-engine placement of the tiny engine. I get between 17-22 mpg, which I find perfectly reasonable for a sports car.

I expect the engine should last a long time. With basically three moving parts, it should be more reliable than an ordinary piston engine. With proper maintenance, I expect to go well beyond 100,000 miles without problems.

 

but if the car floodes how do you "unflood" it?

 

some questions about the best car in the world .... what do you want to know about the Lamborghini Murcielago? :

 

the lambo is not the best car

 

The RX-8 comes with a little card that explains the procedure for a flooded engine—I forget what the procedure is, exactly. Apparently sometimes it works, sometimes not—in which case you have to get towed to the dealer.

Best thing is to avoid flooding it in the first place. It's very easy to NOT flood it. Just remember to never get in the car first thing in the morning, move it a few feet, and turn it right off. If you don't do that, it'll never happen. Even if you do do that, it might not happen anymore. Again, most of the flooding issues were in the first year or so, before the bigger battery and starter motor.

I suspect most 8 owners have never flooded their car and don't give it a second thought. I don't.

 

I think he was referring to the Crossfire

 

If you're not attentive,**** retentive or lack emotional attachment to your automobile then the 8 is not for you.










How'd I do?

 

what is the best car in the world?

 

The best car in the world? The Bugatti Vyron can suck all of it's gas in 20 minutes...

 

That and it's the fastest car for street...

 

ok so now i know pretty much more. thnx for the answers i will buy a rx-8 someday 4 sure

 

by the way how much does a new engine cost

 

It wont cost anything, because you wont need one.

 

If it's under warranty, it should be for free

If not, well....

 

Buying it urself?

Brand new in a Crate ship from Japan cost about 5.8 K + shipping.

 

Oh my god my brain hurts from all the stupidass noobs

 

best car in the world is the McLaren F1 LM GTR. Or the Bugatti Veyron 16.4

 

Best car in the world is Batmobile! Why so many noobs asking such simple question?

 

Bugatti Veyron by far! It leaves the F1 in the dust.

 

but what happens if you start your rx-8 in the morning and when you will get away you let the cluth go to fast and the car stops can the car flood then?

 

I have a headache...........
