Just want to state, your engine will last very very long as long as you: 1.) Warm up past C symbol on temp gauge before every drive. 2.) Avoid redlining or over 5000 rpm until after 15 min of driving or oil temp reaching operation temperature. 3.) After reaching operational temp and/or driving for 15+ minutes, redlining your engine often. 9k a day, keeps the mechanic away. 4.) Ensuing cooling system is fully functional, bonus if you replace radiator with a aluminum one and a better electric fan. 5.) Check and ensure oil level never falls below .5 quart low. As in, you should always have a full engine by dip stick measurement. Never let it get 1 quart or more low. 6.) Change your oil every 3,000 miles without fail and use a GOOD oil filter. And that’s it. 2004 RX8, original motor. I still own her, 154,000 original miles. Never really premixed. It’s not rocket science, it’s just attention to detail. I also have daily driven her for years, my wife mostly. 6spd manual. I’ve driven across America with it twice, and ran it for over 24 hours straight. I’ve tracked it hard. And not once did she fail me.

That's pretty good. I've built a motorized bike (extremely good handling for drifts at 30 mph even on ramps getting air and landing sideways continuing the drift), it got about 200 mpg with a customized 2 stroke engine. Cruise RPM was 10k+. I always wondered how it would do with a quality 4 stroke engine, that and I needed a bigger fuel tank than 10 oz, because that's only like 30 minutes of burn time around 15 miles (more if you're not full throttle, but what's the fun in that?) Talk about smiles per gallon! Every person walking by would stare, a lot of random people cheered (I find this strange, but its fine with me). I can't tell you how many people got the biggest smile that seemed to be permanently affixed after I'd let them take it for a spin, lots of people got to try it out and had a blast.

I have an RX-8 and will be getting rid of it for a Tesla Model 3 very soon. The Tesla is amazing. My RX-8 was fun but is nowhere near as enjoyable as driving a Tesla. No gas. Zero smelly toxic emissions. Plug in at home. No more gas stations. And insanely quicker and faster than my RX8 and it's significantly cheaper in fueling costs. My Mazda costed $2,500 for a year of filling up in gas roughly 12,000 miles. Only ~$340 for 12,000 miles in a Tesla Model 3.

Your RX8 has a wicked note! One more reason to give the Renesis a bit of a rev :) I take my kids to school most days in by my Black Series 2 RX8 and it is absolutely fine. Plenty of legroom and enough boot space for 3 school bags, plus the number of people who just stare at the suicide doors as everyone piles out, it's priceless! My 3 rules to remember daily driving an RX8 are, always warm it up, redline it every drive and change the oil often. After 4 years of ownership I still look forward to driving it everyday, which I guess is the best recommendation you can have.

This seems like a pretty awesome car for me. I don't do very long distances and maintenance isn't a problem for me. The only thing is gas mileage, but I can live with that. I thought about buying one with the engine completely torn to pieces and putting in something like an LS or M52 or maybe even 2JZ because all the rest is just a perfect fit for me. If I bought a working Rotary I would take a really good care for it, but If I was to buy a dead RX8, I might as well put an LS in it- I'm living in Poland so it is not that common and an LS would sound just amazing. Either way, it's great to see people taking such a great care for their cars, especially as quirky and unique as the RX8 :)

3:27 "The RX8 may not be fast...." I can't contest this, but there are many turbo kits (mostly GReddy, with a few others) and a few supercharger kits (Pettit, DNA Motorsports, or a used Hymee) available, and despite the negative stigma you can actually put 7-8psi of forced induction on a Renesis and it will last another 50-70k miles as long as you have a good stable tune and take extra-careful care of it in terms of keeping the oil fresh, premixing, monitoring temps and keeping the engine as cool as possible with cooling upgrades, etc. I'm in the process of installing my Pettit Stage II supercharger right now (very slowly lol), and I'm going to keep it at 8psi for the most part since my engine is at about 60k miles. Even a lowly 7-8psi, with either a turbo _or_ supercharger, will still put you up to almost 300rwhp (or around 340 at the crank, but who cares about that besides advertisers?), which is MORE than enough oomph to have fun in a car that only weighs about 3,200lbs total!

I’ve owned a 370Z, a 370Z Nismo (traded my original Z for the Nismo, and got rid of the Nismo last year and bought my current RX-8) and an RX-8 and I can tell you I personally love driving my RX-8 more than either 370Z, including the Nismo. My RX-8 handles way better than the Nismo. Yes the Nismo was faster, but not near as much fun to drive and there’s something about revving up the Wankel to 9,000 rpms that’s so thrilling. My daily driver is an SUV, but my weekend toy car is an RX-8 and I would never own another Z in place of it. Just my own personal experience, but like I said my 8 isn’t my daily driver either.

Ray Ray lol give or take, I sometimes get 14mpg. But yah it’s not the most fuel efficient. It’s no Prius, but if you have the money I’d recommend having an RX8 as a 2nd car. I plan to buy a corolla and keep my RX8 as a fun car. But rn I’m stuck using it as a daily for now. It’s still smiles per gallon for now lol 😅

The only reason why i gave up on buying one (at least for now) is because i only can get something used, there are no brand new ones obviously. And each additional mile on it is actually one step closer to engine failure, that's how i see it. I need car maybe 2-3 times a week but i simply can't have fun with something that i constantly have to worry when is engine going to fail. MK4 GTI is source of endless fun, lasts for freaking ever if you take good care of it and it never gets old. Refused to trade it for MK6. Oh and yeah i totally forgot we still have them under warranty in US lol, from what i know, if you happen to own RX8 in Europe, you are screwed xD. No recalls, no free rebuilds.
