The problem is certain cars are very tolerant of neglect and it sets an unrealistic expectation for everything else. Boring commuter stuff should be absolutely reliable but you can’t expect that with performance cars.

I truly feel that you should also show the "returning back" part of your trip, even if its just compressed into one 20 minutes episode. You'll have to drive your cars all the way back to your home where a lot could happen which ofcourse we'd love to see. Hope we'll get to see that in your next road trip.

When I bought my RX8, I was scared of taking the car on long road trips, mainly due to the bad reputation the car has garnered online... What do you know... 11,000 miles and three years later, this car has never let me down! And the last two summers, I took it across the channel to Europe on a 5 and 7 days road trip! Nice comfy cruiser, fun and agile and... Way more reliable than people give it credit for.

At not even 4k miles a year I can’t say I’m surprised you haven’t encountered any issues yet. I mean shit since I got my company vehicle (old Chevy express work van haha) I’ve put almost 20k on it in the span of 9 months. Already put 8k on my ISF since I bought it last February and I haven’t driven it the past 3 months because of winter. Glad it’s treated you well, but with how little you drive it I guess it’s just not crazy impressive that it’s managed to be problem free. Maybe for a rotary it is I guess 🙃
@Toxofox 3 ай бұрын
I'd add the car has done a 1000 miles road trip in 5 days and an 1100 miles road trip in 7 days. Each time in the middle of a heat wave. Each time on bad European roads. No issues. Original engine, oroginal cat, 63,000 miles.

When I first bought a RX8, I basically dailed it all winter in MN. I drove it through several blizzards. It's saving grace is the rear lsd. The chassis and suspension is competent being Mazda. The only downside is the very low ride height. One 90 mile trip down an interstate, I was racing a blizzard, started at the beginning of the snow fall, was playing snow plow by the end of the trip and barely made it. I quite literally passed 300 cars on that trip because the whole trip was a time constraint. It did great right up to the point where I had to start pushing snow. You can't beat physics.

I had a 240SX SE back in 99 and 2000 and I lived in the Appalachian mountains and that thing surprised me in the snow. Between these two cars I’d way more prefer the DSM. Even though it’s not been well built, if I had it I would fix every big issue I could find. Even all that interior rust. Yeah it wouldn’t be cheap to do, but can you imagine how awesome it would be to own a well built DSM today?

Great series, and great summary of looking at the owner first. I've had my RX8 for almost 21 years. Been bullet proof with no issues. plenty of track days etc. As an aside, still not fantastic but on the trip from Nova Scotia to Deals Gap for the Rotary Rally I averaged 23mpg with AC on, my wife and our luggage for a week in the car.

DSM's are really not bad cars. I've own a GSX for over 12 years and it's been nothing but good to me, especially as a daily. Sadly living in Minnesota this car has rotted away with rust. I just bought another GSX from out of state with no rust and rebuilt it the way I like it, because it was just a bare shell. It is still not done but is drivable. I've also have never driven as far as they have so I would never know and I don't think I would ever want too because of the value of the DSMs now. IDK that's just me tho. As much as I would want an EVO, DSM will always be in my heart. DSMs definitely require a shit ton of attention if you do decide to modify them. Which makes them less "reliable," but in the end it comes back to the mechanical failures and I know I've had my moments.

I absolutely LOVE the road trips!! Rotary's need a certain amount of attention and maintenance. Really... ANY car does if you want reliability. I have owned several Rotary's in my youth. They were VERY reliable. I never gave it a thought taking long trips. (RX-7 from LA to Alaska and back) They just didn't last 400,000 miles and then sold for 10X what they are worth on craig's list. 😅 If it weren't for California, I'd still own my original RX-2. I have moved since, so maybe?? 😉 I have had all BUT the RX-8, so maybe I'll give it another shot. They were the most fun to drive cars I ever owned.
