Hi!
Im a 19 year old college student looking for a car, I live on campus though so im not gonna be driving it much! but im debating between the rx8 or the eclipse.
the eclipse is a 2007, with 34k miles on it
its around $14,000
the eclipse is cute, but its really small on space, which isnt a big deal to me, but this is just REALLY small. lol
the mazda rx8 is a 2004
it has 19k miles on it
and its $9,900
the rx8 has leather heated seats, and a sunroof
i love cars, i love the rx8..id prefer it over the eclipse
but i have read terrible things about the rotary engine and maintenance.
I would make sure i kept up on the maintenance, such as changing the oil, and burning the excess fuel when turning off the car to be sure not to flood the engine.This car is also rear wheel drive, which isnt good in rain or snow, but once again, its not going to be driven too much so im not worried about that alot.
I'm mainly worried about the maintenance of the rx8, im really worried something is going to break on it and i dont plan on getting the extended warranty.
im just looking for advice, advantages and disadvantages of both of the cars and advice on which one to pick.
any advice would be really helpful, thanks!!
I forgot to add that the rx8 was in 2 accidents, one minor, the other one moderate, but the damages were fixed. i guess thats why its so cheap, but its in perfect condition inside and out
