I used to drive an RX8 before the Z. I'll be honest, it was disconcerting going from the smoothness of a rotary to the temperamental V6 in the 370.

Not that I would give up the Z, but there are days when I miss my RX8 immensely.

Great car in its own right, just different league or class

havent heard of any mechanical issues with the RX8, but i do know they can handle like a beast. they look great when theyre modded as well.

i wouldnt buy an RX8 though. i'd get one of these instead if I wanted a rotary.

ah no it wasnt anything mechnical , it failed to pass emissions so they canceled production in Europe.

The car was 7 years old, that's really why it went out of production.
