How expensive/time consuming to maintain Mazda RX-8?

I'm looking into buying one (pretty good deal from the Mazda dealership - 2004 with 6,000 miles on it plus aftermarkets installed) buut I've heard/read many downsides to it.

Rotary engine requires it to be redlined (how often, how exactly to do this)
Gas changes every 2 tanks of fuel, with a specific type of oil?
Not to mention not so great gas mileage using premium gas?

Can anyone tell me more about this? Their experiences? Advantages/disadvantages to owning this car? Recommend or not recommend it?
