TrueDelta Mazda RX-8 Reliability

There's a 914 rusting away in front of someone's house about three blocks away from where I live. Every time I see it, I get partially tempted to go knock on the guy's door and ask what the deal is with the car, if it's for sale, etc., but the massive amount of surface rust always reminds me that's not a good idea.

Any RX-8 commercial where the car isn't on the back of a tow truck.

When properly maintained, the rotary engine is no less reliable than a conventional piston engine.

Being old doesn't make the car any less Renault.
