make sure all the bits have been done on the RX-8 (oil cooler lines, anti-roll bar linkages, alloy wheel corrosion, dipstick anti-froth thing, engine management maps, maybe rear plugs and probably more I've forgotten)
Luvverly to drive and very good on fuel (average 22 mpg for the 230) Is that good on fuel? Doesn't sound like it to me! |

22mpg is not bad for a 1300 twin rotary - equivalent to a 3.5 litre v6. You could probably squeeze 25 out of it on a motorway run, the oil is about 1/2 litre per 1000 miles.
Try and get the leather seats (cos they are electric and heated) and no the problems might not be sorted - some are on recall and some are only under warranty on request. The RX8club site is the best for rotonerds. My engine replacement was on warranty (about 5 grand).
Got a Volvo now and that's a pile of shite (cos it's a Ford - I know) but that's 25mpg woohoo!
