But... it's slower h:

Driving a manual is something good to know, though. I encourage everyone I know to learn it.

I think Mazda needs to give customers instructions on how to properly take care of a rotary engine. The Renesis engine eats up a quart (or two- i forgot how much really) every 1500 miles or so. If any of you visit vwvortex's car lounge or the RX8 boards, there were issues that customers had with this.

But hey! Performance cars do this sort of thing. My friend's 944 needs a quart every 2000 miles. the EVO does the same thing too. It would be nice to see customers taking proper care of their purchases rather than whining about them.
