06 Shinka - still fun
I bought my 06 Shinka in 2008 and drive it daily. Learned that it has to be driven hard to stay healthy. Maintenance is a must but in return you have a car that turns heads and is still a blast to drive. Don't buy this car for the fuel mileage - buy it because you want a special car that never seems to get out of control and- Purchased a Used car

A SWEET 4-DOOR COUPE
I have never driven a rotary, let alone own one. I have heard that this car is troublesome at times and should be enthusiast owned. That is my only reason for giving it 4 stars. To prepare new owners for the possibility of what may happen if neglected. It has never given me any problems since having it personally. It's a blast- Purchased a Used car

Reliable car, great acceleration & handling
Overall, this car has been better than I expected it to be. I bought it new with the Touring package (sunroof, leather, etc.) and it has lasted up until now at about 80K miles. It has been through snow, rain, severe hot weather, and a demanding cross-country drive. I only do the regular recommended maintenance on it. Oil change- Purchased a New car

What else could you want in a car?
A few months ago I bought a used, black, Mazda RX-8 with black racing rims. The previous owner only racked up 24,000m, so I was really excited when I found this car. I had previously worked in Brazil and drove a manual Peugeot down there for awhile. When I came back I wanted a nice, fun, sexy, manual. I also wanted much more- Purchased a Used car

This car is a BLAST!! a little extra user maintanace needed (check the oil a couple times a month. this is normal for rotary RX motors as they inject oil into the Rotaries), but well worth it.

Hot Rocket
What a fun car to drive. When I hit 50, I went out looking for a sports car. This by far was best value for the money. Handles like a dream, but driving a 2 cylinder rotary engine is completely different than anything I had before. Really have to punch it to get torque, but above 5000, it is peppy enough. Of course, with the- Purchased a New car

cant get rid of it
Okay...I have a fully loaded GT /nav in brilliant blue. I purchased this vehicle in 06 as a 04 model, I now have 83000 miles on it and want to upgrade to a better car. The problem is I can't find anything better, that's affordable of course. It's so hard to find the combination of good looks, performance, comfort, reliability,low- Purchased a Used car
