Thinking of trading in my tried and trusted Mazda 3s for a Mazda RX8, My 3s is my daily driver, she has 120'000 trouble free miles and she dries and handles like the first day i took her home with 7 miles on the odo, she has never spent a daY IN THE SHOP (knock on wood)all i have done is buy gas , change the tires twice, change the brakes once, truly a superb automobile, So my question is Could the the rotary engine in the RX8 stand up to the rigors of being a daily driver commuting car? I drive 120 miles daILY 5 days a week, how would the rotary handle the wear and tear as opposed the the regular engine in my 3s ? I understand that rotaries use up a lot of oil is this one of the drawbacks?
I really dont want to get rid of my 3s, but i'm thinking about the new fancier RX8 , What is your opinion,
