when you answer one of the questions please put the number cooresponding to the question above
thanks for your efforts!!
A: 1) There are very few differences between all of the model years. The option packages changed very little and what comes standard with the different models depends on your country. Motor output stayed the same everywhere although you may see some different numbers based on country due to how HP is rated.
In '06 the automatic versions did get a bump up to the 6 port motor vs. the 4 port for the '04 & '05 models, so they have better HP.
In '06 (or maybe '07...can't remember) MP3 jacks became available, and a new wireless keyfob was introduced.
In '08 the 40th anniversary model came out with foam filled suspension bits and Bilstein shocks.
In '09 the front fascia, side gills, rear lights, and some interior bits changed and you can order the R3 model with the better suspension components like the 40th anniversary model and Recaro seats.
2) Expect about 17 mpg (US gallon) or 20 mpg (Imperial gallon) for overall mileage.
3) Everything you could possibly want to know about the RX8 can be found at:

4) I'd worry about ones selling for US$10K. That's pretty cheap. A good one should probably be selling for US$14K+. If you're able to, try to look at '05 or newer. The '04's were the first model year and seem to have more issues than '05 and up.
Q: Should i buy it?
should i buy the new 2009 model rx8 that is coming out next year? i looks realy good, and im a mazda lover aswell as a rotary enthusiast! what do you think?
oh and i plan if i get one to single turbo it and maybe supercharge it, waddya think?
its not that slow, and it wont be slow when im done with it! haha
aaaand, i cant afford an audi!
oh pleese a vw golf??? it may be allitle fatser but it will only ever be a vw golf, and it wont ever look good
A: You would be getting this as your daily driver I'm guessing cos you said you can't afford an Audi (not that it's much better unless you are talkin' abt the RS4)
If you want it to be reliable, I would gently suggest "only" very good sports headers, titanium exhausts, racing flywheels, CAI ( carbon intake pipes if you can afford it with heat shield ), forged rims (no larger than 18 cos your weight penalty would defeat the purpose of having forged rims), very good ECU (Motec or the like)...
I'm not suggesting forced induction cos the fuel consumption would scare even Ferrari owners after you turbo it.. and all the above would actually work to improve your consumption if you tune the ECU well..
enjoy your ride...
