i love the rx8, personally speaking its a superb car with superb engineering. the rest of the world has them and keep them for years and years just like any other car on earth. the thing is, in pakistan many new money paindoos have chosen the rx8 over anyother car, not to be a di*k or anything, when you upgrade from a diesel corolla/cultus/ etc straight to an rx8, a car which requires unique care and consdieration, you are bound to have issues if it is taken like any other local car. Ive seen rx8s with the right people being run since years with zero issues. it all comes down to the owner and how he maintains it.
i'd love to buy a silver rx8 and i may as well soon enough, and perhaps go for a heavy bolt on setup, i simply love the drive, comfort, fun, and genuinality of that car.
