Things I love/hate about my rx8
Since theres been a lot of threads about it why not just have one with a couple things you love/hate.
Love: The looks, the handling and the sound. Cant beat it.
Hate: The gas mileage. The oil changes. The cost of repair.
Lets try it out haha

Love: The Power, The Looks and The Handling. Plus every time you redline it it makes your heart race
Hate: Where the park plugs are, coil life and water in my tail light.
On the side: Repair cost are nothing compared to my BMW's haha

Love: looks and handling and when you hit red line it doesn't seem like its gonna blow up like a piston engine does.
Hate: that I have an 04 and the dreaded compression test coming soon.

Love - "so its a four cylinder?" "nope, it doesn't have cylinders." "wtf?!"
Hate - how the trunk is rather deceiving. it looks plenty big but the opening is do damn small.
13,000 miles later its still a love/hate relationship.

Love: looks, feel of the car, 9k rev limit
hate: the feeling that some day something might go wrong :<
side note: I don't mind the MPG too much, i realized that this car was going to drink oil/gas when i bought it thus i have a DD for work commute and the rx8 is a weekend/joy ride car

Loves: Looks, Handling (I still remember during the test drive, my father was sitting in the passanger seat and he got all nervous in one turn because he forgot that we weren't in a truck), Owning the car that I dreamed of owning when I was 16 years old
Hates: None really, I don't love the milage, but I really can't complain, I knew what I was in for haha. Also, having bad dreams about bad things happening to my 8 isn't very fun, but I'm sure that happens with any car that you really love.

Love: 9k revs, awesome interior, overall appearance, the fact no one understands I don't have pistons, the fact no one understands how it uses oil, and the fact I have always dreamt of having this car since i was like 15, got a awesome job, and can afford my own when I turned 19, and everyone thinks its a super expensive car
Hate: Water in the tail lights, low clearance, and how everyone says it sounds like a shop vac... :/
I love my 8!!!

Love: The interior! All red and black; stealthy as ****... The jet engine sound/feel. Just driving it really.
Hate: Being in this car and stuck in traffic. Having to warm up the car all the time, but I can live with it.

Like: uniqueness, nimbleness, handling, engine sound, performance of engine (over 6000 rpm), driving position, intimate cockpit, shifter, gauges, small size, practicality
Dislike: car feels tinny and insubstantial, brake feel, highway range, iPod integration, dealer service

The first one was that someone stole it and wrecked it.
Love: I love the look, I love the feel, I love the handling, I love that the car is "interactive" requiring me to pay attention and really enjoy it.
Hate: That I have all the horror stories in my head so I am paranoid about **** going wrong. Despite the fact that you own any car long enough it will acquire damn near an entire rebuild in parts and labor.
