I'm looking for a good car for around 9000-12000. I want a car with at least 200hp, newer then 2003 but doesn't have mechanical issues. I really like the 2006-07 Mazda RX8's, but I know they have pretty bad engine problems because they were newly developed rotary engines when they came out in the first RX8's in 2004. I know some people will laugh when I say this, but I want some moderate power.........but also automatic. I never have and never will like a manual, that's just how I am. I've looked at RX8's, s2000's(which I hate) 350z's, and Nissan Maximas. I like the look and the power and the price of the RX8, but the problems make the other cars look better even if they cost another grand or two. I'm really looking for a car that won't need a lot of money put into it, unless it's upgrades that I want. I'm really looking for some suggestions/help into what cars I might be missing out there that fit my criteria. I feel like if I go with the RX8, it'll be great for the first year MAYBE, then I'll have to replace the engine which will cost almost as much as the car. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE..... GIVING BEST ANSWER!!
