RX-8 is a good car to own, but you will need to understand & how to care the Rotary engine first and find a reliable mechanic which can fix this type of car..

Rotary RX-8 (N/A)

Pro
- Good for high rev & light (Get the 6-speed manual if possible to get the most of it)
- More durable compare to RX-7 Turbo

Con
- Fuel consumption still high compare to normal 4-cylinder engine
- Need to always check engine oil, as this engine is design to use engine oil to cool down the apex seal in it!
- Expensive to rebuilt ( Durability of the apex seal is worst 80,000Mile or around 100,000km need to rebuilt!) and need proper special tool to check the car compression.
- May need 2T oil to premix the fuel to care for apex seal.. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUBhJM2An34)

The Achilles heal of this engine wont last long, expensive to rebuilt & fuel consumption is high and most mechanic wont recommend to rebuilt the engine as the cost of it is almost the same as getting a half-cut or engine kosong. So you will need to prepare at least RM5k for it if any emergency.

If you got time, tons of forum in the net for Rotary newbies to read before you decide to own it or not..
