Go to the www.rx8club.com

There are plenty of owners on there with 50,000-100,000 without any problems. Only work done to the car was standard things like brakes, oil, tires and so on. I have 22,000 on mine and havent had one problem(knock on wood).

Re: miles and repairs

I have an 8 I bought with just over 60000 miles on it. the guy has an intake that sounds good, but is a little loud when your pushing it. considering the car is supposed to be notably quiet i dont know how much I really like it. the only unnatural noise it's making is the cassette player flappy thing sometimes vibrates and I have to hit it with my finger to stop it. also the clutch peddle has like i guess a tension spring that really squeeks worse and worse and is very annoying by now, but nothing a little greese wont cure here probably today.
