Renaissance_myth Neutral Newbie January 16, 2007 Share January 16, 2007 "hello, amongst my gang, there are rex, evo9 and rx8, friendly comparison definitely unavoidable.:) " hi there, of course friendly comparison is unavoidable. :) but to say that the rx-8 can trail the evo9 is.... at best, a long long shot. regards ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 Very high torque Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetics 2nd Gear January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 though the 1.3 rotary can match the power of 2.6litre but it is still a 1.3litre car. the torque is however still way apart.unless a small engine with FI vs bigger NA engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbonetics 2nd Gear January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 any rx8 driver/owner here to share and input their experience here? on paper its the bast value, 4-seaters, rear driven car on the road. this is what car suppose to be. sadly mazda on bring in the manual version. how's the consumption, low end torque, feels, etc? i heard that the RX-8 is more thirsty than a fairly stock REX.

Azarael Clutched January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 is it true that syn oil don't go well with the rotary engine? yeah....most of them use w50 mineral oils like shell helix ..the engine eats/drinks motor oil ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_z 1st Gear January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 Great car!! Insurance is $900 for me. 50% NCD and 5% loyalty with NTUC. 370km for first tank, heard that it gets better after run in. At the moment, 1st quarter tank gave me 130km liao... so see what happens by end of the week. Some of my past rides were 300ZX TT, Pulsar GTiR, 200SX, Civic VTEC, but... I love my 8, followed by my 300ZX!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanter 3rd Gear January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 Rx8 has many pluses. I guess as with any performance machine you have to pay at the pumps. I have heard of some rx8 which gets 5km/l but i guess its with spirited driving. Full tank how many liters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenng Neutral Newbie January 17, 2007 Share January 17, 2007 i continue to drive abt 30km after the empty fuel light comes out. 451km and pump 52Litres of petrol. Did not rev just normal driving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
