An Rx for our long-term RX-8
Regarding your new long-term RX-8 (May 24), lay your engine longevity concerns to rest. I've owned three RX-7s. During the past 13 years my latest RX-7 has served me faithfully for more than 420,000 miles. I recommend you check the oil once a week, follow the factory-recommended maintenance schedule, and squeeze the loud pedal vigorously. Zoom-Zoom!

An excellent response to the initial long-term test article.

 

That's Marcus from the SoCal RX Club. Were having fun with his moment of fame this week. :-)

 

Mazda couldn't have paid for a better testimonial. I'm surprised Mazda hasn't used him for a magazine ad or commerical.

 

that is so cool
