Love the rx8, but I see so many negative comments about their reliability, I'm not sure about stepping out and getting one.

Almost all your questions will be answered. Post #9 mostly fits your question.

 

^Agreed, I read that before getting mine.

...I knew exactly what I was getting myself into beforehand but I've always loved the rotary engine and I am absolutely in love with my FE. No regrets ever! ..not even at the gas station.

There was a rage comic I read a while ago, it went something like this:

Girlfriend: You love that car like it's your second girlfriend.
Boyfriend: BITCH PLEASE, you're the second girlfriend!
Girlfriend: (Rage faced)

It's not like that with my girlfriend, lol, but even she noticed how much I love this car. It was that obvious.

 

It's funny because it's not like you have to do a whole lot more with this car than you SHOULD do with any other car. You just pay for it when you get lazy.

Granted the frequent topping off of oil may be a little foreign for those of you who never drove a 1970's muscle car, but for those who have, hell, it's how we changed our oil. A quart at a time all month long

Change the plugs regularly, change the coils regularly, make damned sure you've got the right amount of oil in her, drive it like it's supposed to be driven. That's 90% of it right there.
