Nice car

The steering wheel is at the wrong side

Really nice , and in my fav colour ,but I'm trying to stop buying cars

And I have a soft spot for fast Jap cars

I had one of those for 3 years - nothing can touch it for a mix of fun, speed, practicality and price. However they like a drink so buy with eyes open. Mine was exactly the same as that except in the nicer Winning Blue. Loved every minute and it was very reliable too.

Can't beat the Japanese for reliability - even better than German made cars.

Well, I replaced the RX-8 with a German car with more power, far more torque, RWD, quicker 0-60, faster top speed and yet up to 20% better on fuel economy. And it has been absolutely bulletproof in reliability - the Mazda had a couple of small issues but nothing serious. The replacement has had NOTHING go wrong, not a single thing, not even a tiny little niggle... in three years and 35k miles. BMW 130i FTW!

Sorry ellie for flooding your thread by spam

Don't get me wrong , I love German cars (had a S500L not that long ago)- I really fancy a Audi TT -the first generation- and an Audi RS6 one of the older ones great sounding V8's In terms of technology they are at the forefront of the industry and probably always have been. But with reliability - owner surveys after survey , it's always a Japanese car that is on top with the less problems.

Interestingly or not recently I thought I'd buy a car that I could hack up and down the motorway to work - one that would be reliable , cheap to run -not bothered about weather the kids get the inside dirty or not . It has a BMW engine in it but is not a BMW , what did I buy ?

( )

A mini :idea:

No, close though

Ok - to guess is not one of my strength

And enumerating all possible cars powered by a BMW engine could take a long time

So - i give up

Rover 75 :o

Then it must be a diesel car - that is the only Rover 75 with an original BMW engine.

The petrol cars have engines built by Rover - except the V8 (has a Ford Mustang engine)

Yes it's a diesel 2.0 9from the 320d .

Nice engine

I love the V8 ford Mustang Engine to , such a great sound

MGZS 180 all the way baby.... English cars rule.

Even those based on a 90's Honda Civic?

They were fine in the 90's, problem was they were still trying flog them in 2005

To get back on thread...

The RX8 is a cracking motor Ellie, shame you have to sell. Good luck

Yes, sorry Ellie for the side-tracking. As I said, I loved my RX-8 and still think they're cracking cars. GLWTS!

Thats OK Boys, enjoyed reading the chat!!
