I am new to the mazda rotary engine mechanics, but i was wondering how many miles do you think a Rx-8 can drive until the car just has to many problems or is too old?

 

Non-turbo rotaries have had no problem running up to the 200k mark as long as normal maint and is done and oil is added when needed. My 86 Rx7 was up to 165k when I sold her. I drove her HARD and was still running strong when she left me (sniff, sniff).

 

I am planning on getting an 8 but the car would have to last me 6 to 7 years so i am making sure the car can make it that long with normal driving conditions and i live in Texas so no snow here haha. thxs for the info

 

I'm in Texas too...I'll be keeping my 8 for college and graduate school, and I certainly hope it lasts. I think warm weather is an advantage for the NA rotary.
