if u want to buy an rx-8 consider buying a Miata NC instead. Much more reliable, still a fun car and the design isn't that much different. Also it is better to spend money on mods than maintenance tho... Your money your choice but the RX-8 is a really expensive car to maintain. It drinks oil and the milleage isn't fair for the performance.
