Model Year 24/25 Your other car is?...

[trew]

My Formentor is a relatively thirsty 333ps, 0-60 in 4.6 sec high-tec beast.

My other motor is a tiny, 16-year-old, 55mpg, 68hp, 1.0L city car, 0-60 eventually, with no bling except for aircon.

It's actually a toss-up which one I prefer. I know which one I love (and it ain't the Cupra).

How about you?

My other car is the Garage Queen a 40th Anniversary 230 bhp RX-8 my 4th RX-8 this one bought new in 2008 and now on 30K miles, only 200 were produced in Pearlescent Crystal White with Bilstein suspension, black and stone coloured leather upholstery and I still love driving this brilliant Rotary powered car.

That’s lovely. I worked with a guy who had a metallic blue RX-8 that I always thought was a great car.

I bought my first 350z in 2004, when the RX-8 and the Z were 'rivals', with the Chrysler Crossfire being somewhere in the mix too. Nice looking cars, but with a reputation as oil burners?

The RX-8 was always a much maligned car, yes they do use oil because they are designed to use oil to lubricate the Rotors and it is only a small amount if the car is treated/maintained properly, I have owned 4 RX-8`s and never found oil consumption to be a problem but many drivers bought them (lots of boy racers) without regularly maintaining the oil supply hence the Rotor seals wore prematurely followed by reduced engine compression and increased oil consumption.
if you get a properly maintained RX-8 you realise what a great one off car it is, a purpose built Mazda sports car and not just a run of the mill family hatchback tweaked with uprated supension and a turbocharged engine!

I came across this RX-7 on a track day, its so odd to see such a tiny engine in such a big beast.

The guy who owned it worked for Mclaren and loved the Wankel engine
