Thinking about trading the S4 for an RX8

RE: Thinking about trading the S4 for an RX8
If you are unhappy with the S4 because of how much it costs to run and mod, the an rx8 is barely a step up. I wanted to buy one for a while so i seriously looked into them. They are really bad with gas, mods are expensive with little power increase, it uses at least a quart of oil each month, and once you have put a fair amount money into your car (like $6k) you will run in the high 14's (search streetfire for videos). As for 4 doors, id say evo over sti only because my friend just bought an 07 sti and he said it was the biggest dissapointment of a car to drive. anyways, good luck

No offense... But, you should be shot in the knee cap. Just my oppinon. jk. But seriously... Rx8 trannys are poop and they arent as fun to drive as they look. Youll hate winters and I hope you dont pick up more than a couple gallons of milk when you go to the grocery.

RX8 = horrible on gas (as bad as an American V8)
Horrible on tires because it's a drifting machine
Technically a four-door, but you already know that
Don't get the automatic, it doesn't make as much power

as far as mpg vs hp, no one can touch the gen III & IV small block V8. but i do agree, rotary engines rock!

I am a used car dealer in NC and have heard nothing but horror stories involving the RX8s. just like the rx7s, the motors are only holding up for 80k miles before you are having to drop a new on in. rotaries are a cool idea but never really perfected in my opinion.

actually american v8's get better gas mileage than his s4 or even my a4 come to think of it.

You take one engine (a DOD nonethless) and say american V8's get better mileage than your audi, then something is wrong with your audi. I get 37mpg highway in my 2.8q tip
