Whats a 350Z "R"??

I dont think ive come across that reference before!

 

[jtk07]

The R is a reference for Roadster

 

[Alin]

Ahhhhh ok. Thanks for educating me!

How would you say your experience was with the rx8 compared to every other car youve had?

 

[jtk07]

My experience may not speak for everyone however for me it was the WORST car I ever owned.

1/2-1 quart of oil every other gas fill up. Dealer claimed normal (2 dealerships)

Constant issues with drivetrain.
Had drive shaft replaced 3 times

Motor and trans mounts multiple times

Rear end replaced

Wore tires uneven

got about 12 mpg

Ac wouldn't keep up in summer

Let's just say I owned the car 6 months and a week - in that time I had $2300 over what I paid for that car done in warranty work

I still think it was a lemon.

It held amazing to the road factory

 

[Alin]

Damn. Thats definitely something you dont want to experience lol. Now how has your experience been with the subie since you got it?
