I got a deal for 19,000 dollars with 11,000 miles on it. I can afford it but im wondering if it is a reliable and good car for 5-6 years. How does it do in the winter? I live in VA. Gas? Reliable? Insurance? Used 2008 honda accord coupes are so expensive and camrys are expensive too.
 
Reliable? Too soon to know. Previous rotary engines are known for blowing apex seals every other day. The Renesis has not been around long enough to know if it's reliable or not. It does however, require 91+ octane gas, get aboout 17mpg, and doesn't have much torque. It will do about the same in the snow as any other RWD car - fine if you are a good driver, terrible if you're not.

Older cars are better, try looking for a late 90s Toyota or Honda.
 
The majority of cars are going to be reliable for 5-6 years if they are fairly new (and 11000 miles is pretty new). I don't have one but I love the car. I'm sure it will be reliable considering it is a jap car. I used to have a mazda rx-7 that was over 20 years old and running strong. Great cars and great company.

And BMW Z-4s are ugly...chick cars (no offense if you are a chick). I would just never buy one.
