Just recieved the brochure for the RX8. Might be selling the coop next summer and quite like the look of this. 1.3, 250 b.h.p (rotary I know) ONLY THING IS DEPRECIATION? Anyone think this will be a problem, it being a mazda? Tasty!!!!!

It's a potential cult classic but I reckon depreciation will be savage early on. Servicing for example may be a problem. Look what the older RX7s did. I think their prices dived then plateaued out and have been quite steady for a number of years now.

I've been tempted by the rx8 also. Looks OK, goes like stink and it should be reliable with it being a mazda. MPG is a bit poor at mid 20's but its the same as a Golf R32.

Might go for a test drive end of July..........

(what am I thinking, I must be mad as the Leon is a good car!)
