So, I got a new RX-8 a few weeks ago. I've only managed to get 620 miles on it so far and some a-hole ran into it when it was parked on the street last night.... and didn't leave a note or anything.
Man, I'm pissed. |

Crunched quarter panel ahead of the rear wheel and behind the 2nd door on the driver's side. The tire rubs in jounce conditions. It's not that bad, but it's such a pain in the a@#.
I went from a Focus SVT to this RX-8. The RX-8 is so much fun. I always dirt-track it around, hanging the rear out as much as possible. Mileage is horrible... I managed 11.5 mpg on the last tank. Turn-in is actually not as crisp as the Focus, believe it or not. But, I regard the Focus as the high-water mark for turn-in. The impact harshness is better (less) than the Focus, too. My only criticism of the suspension is that, to me, there's too much pitch and dive under longitudinal accelerations. |
