I abused an RX8 at a Walshy day, when i had the Atom with me. Not too bad actually but apprently thwey are thirsty buses. Felt massive also hopping in to it after the Atom

Not great suprise.

they do have a thirst for petrol, you cant deny it.

They use oil, but its not as bad as people make out. Either that or my mate got a good one.

I think its a good car, looks nice, very comfy and actually very fast. Would keep up with an elise on most roads

I'm running an Rx8 over here, overall I'm really pleased with it. Didn't fancy an American POS. Certainly handles well, but inhales petrol.

I think the UK ones get better mileage as they won't have the same emission restrictions.

Doesn't burn that much oil either. They say to check every other fill up, but mine has been fine and I just add a little oil once a month.

All in all, it's a great little car and very comfortable, but I'd want a company petrol account or expenses to run it in the UK.
