What year rx8 should i buy




















For better or worse, the RX-8 has yet to attain the same cult-classic status as the Nissan Z or Mk4 Toyota Supra , so you can pick up a usable example for less than it would cost to spend a fortnight in Majorca. It goes without saying that the cheaper the car, the more careful you should be, and this is no truer of any car than the RX Mazda reckons the RX-8 will get through ml of the black stuff every miles.

The general consensus is that the engine will manage 60, miles before it needs some serious attention, so check the odometer reading tallies with past MOT receipts and really give it the beans on your test drive. It goes without saying that not every RX-8 is a bad one. With some knowledge on what to look for, it can be easy to pick up and enjoy an absolute bargain.

Making it to 65, miles is sometimes a challenge with the rotaries. As most of you will know, the apex seals are usually the first part of the engine to fail. If you imagine the Wankel engine as giant, spinning Doritos you will find these seals at the apex, or peak of each of them. They are the only part that comes in direct contact with the rotary housing, hence their fragility.

The ignition coils are essential to ensuring that your RX-8 is properly powered. Everyone replaces their coils at different times, but a good rule of thumb is to start checking them at least every 30, miles. Just look at it!
