skycat 0 #26 October 29, 2007 It's a 2007, and so far so go, I'll keep my fingers crossed it stays that way. My dealer has been great for getting things replaced on both my cars, the most I've had to wait is a day for a tire when I got a hole in the sidewall. Of course my 6 just went out of warranty so that may change. Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaM 0 #27 October 29, 2007 The bigger issue with my 8 was the dealerships here were bad. One dealership (where I bought it) when we were having the problems with it revving high, told my husband we should not drive like that anyway. WTF?! So the dealer has made it miserable for us. That made it all that much worse. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right, cause the engine isn't designed to be driven at high RPM... oh wait... yeah it is... honestly I wouldn't buy an RX-8 from a dealer that didn't seem to know at least a little bit about the Wankel Engine...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

That was just it. Their own service department didn't realize that it was meant to rev that high and that is why it redlines at 9k! So then we switched and started taking it to another dealer. My skid plates came off and they told me that was from all the snow we got last winter and it was not covered under warranty. Even though I told them I never drove it in the damn snow. All in all, it was a bad experienc. But if the dealership was better about it, I might not have been so willing to run. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
