Don't mean to hash up an old thread, but came across this one surfing for some info. (& insight). I see local Mazda dealers seem like almost trying to dump 05 model RX8's off their lots. wAS even offered agreat deal under invoice. Checked out some other sites, and looks like engine reliability on the "new and improved" rotary in he 8 may not be so great, and even worst than previous gens.. something about sideport intakes and exhaust, and weak seals. Anyone have one for reference, and how would it compare to an comparable year RSX??
