Nissan 370Z Forum  

can't decide if this is the right car for me

Nephew has an RX-8. He says it's a serious gas guzzler. That car is simply not on the same level as our Z's. Besides, its style is many years old

Nephew has an RX-8. He says it's a serious gas guzzler. That car is simply not on the same level as our Z's. Besides, its style is many years old and it is due for a significant re-style and possible re-engineering. You'll have an out-of-date car with a huge appetite for fuel that will kill the budget. Nephew also talks about the rotary engine in the RX-8 as something to be cautious about.
I'd stay away. The Z is a whole different league up with n one of those problems.

Yeah, I love the rotary engine, owned more than 7 different models but you would not caught me dead in a RX-8. Gas guzzler, out-of-date, a bunch of problems including complete engine replacement which happened to my friend. Lucky the car was still under warranty.
