Car and Driver "Verdict"

Mazda on the other hand, DOES care about durability.
They want the rotary to replace the piston engine in many of their cars because in many ways, it's a superior design. It just needs to be proven.
The way this rotary is designed, it's been said a few times, that putting a turbo into it will be extremely difficult. Until the RX-8 has been out for a while, you won't see the car you want. So either get over it, or get another car.

There are VERY few aero kits that cut wing drag on the car... which is why I'll keep my RX-8 stock body, maybe a few interior upgrades like my Valentine1 Radar hardwired

In the suburbs/city the cops usually just leave it on all day, so you see them from 2 miles+ away hehe (depending on curve of street, hills etc). But ample warning time. It also tells you where to be wary from, because of the arrow indicators.
Personally I think it's an excellent thing to have because it saves you when you don't look at the speedometer... If you are going maybe 75 (which isn't fast), the radar chirps at you to give you that heads-up that a cop is around. Honestly, I have it hardwired into my Millenia and I never look at the thing, I drive like I always do, regular speed (which is still above the limit hehe). But when you hear that beep then you know to slow down from your normal speed, and that there is why it's worth every penny.
Sure it's the most expensive one on the market, but when you buy something like this, it's better to get the one that's going to save you instead of work 2/3s of the time. Besides, it's got an upgrade feature so if the V1 is outdated they can upgrade your current one for $30, so it keeps itself useful forever!
