#12 of 93 I want a rx 8 by natedogg899 Oct 08, 2003 (9:01 pm)
I am 17 years old and want a rx 8. My dad says they r unreliable and that he would prefer me to get a 350z. I would rather have a rx 8 instead. How do u guys like er rx 8s?

RX8 or 350Z. I think I'd be happy with either one, but happier with the RX8.

I looked at the 350Z too, and the Infiniti G35, but went with the RX-8 because of all the initial problems with the 350 and the G35. Do some research, and you'll see what I mean. The RX-8, by comparison, has been virtually trouble free... AND it's got a real back seat, is every bit as good looking as either of those cars (better, IMHO) and is better quality by FAR.   Also, tell your dad that while some previous versions of the RX-7 had problems, by and large they were good cars. We had 2 of them in the family for years, so I feel qualified to comment. Also, there are lots of them still on the road today with 200,000 plus miles on them.   The key is maintenance with a rotary engine - keep up on the oil, don't rag it "too" much, and it'll last as long as any piston engine. Let it get low on oil, and it may just totally crap out on you.   Also, the previous generation rotaries got a bad rap because they burned oil, got poor emissions ratings as a result, and and got poor fuel econony. Mazda has addressed all these issues with the new Renesis rotary engine. I think it will hold up well.   Really, you can't go wrong with any one of the 3, but the RX-8 was my choice. Hope it's your too!   Hope this helps... good luck.   - Omi

What r some problems for the 350z?
#16 of 93 by KarenS HOST Oct 10, 2003 (5:33 am)
The best place to ask about posssible problems for that vehichle would be in Nissan 350Z Owners: Problems & Solutions.

...or the same forum for the Infiniti G35...
#18 of 93 Looking to purchase RX-8 by buchanan3 Dec 19, 2003 (6:47 am)
Currently in the negotiating process with a local dealer. I was introduced to the car back in August and fell in love. I am a sales rep, my territory is MD and continues down through Fla. I am on the road alot. I love to drive. I currently own a '93 Celica Convertible, which has been a great car, but after 10 years I think it is time to move on. With the amount of miles I will need to put on the RX-8, I am questioning the serviceability. Plus, as you can tell, I like to keep my cars for a while. Any advise?
