Fun, but costly in the long run
I had owned a Mazda RX-8 for about 2 years. I really liked the overall design and performance of the vehicle. The interior was really comfortable and functional for day-to-day use, even though it was a sports car. I ultimately ended up selling the car for money to pay for school, also because of the poor fuel economy and the money that was required for constant upkeep on the vehicle. I used it mostly as a daily commuter for trips between home and school and the grocery store. It had been taken on some cross country road trips, and it performed just fine as well. I really enjoyed the manufacturers warranty that came with the vehicle, since they covered any mechanical issues that I incurred during my ownership.

Rotary Engine
It's a really fun car to drive.
Upsides are: great handling, high RPM comfortable and well designed.
Seats are comfortable and stereo is outstanding.
Car is very attractive and rear suicide doors are a nice add.
Downsides:
Car gets 14mpg on a good day.
The engine is a wankel rotary... these are very expensive if (when) they fail. Mine did and was about 6K to replace.
All in all a fun car that is a lot of performance for the dollar. You will give some of your savings back in gas cost but barring any major breakage a good car to own; just buy with caution knowing this is a very different engine best suited for someone that enjoys working on and maintaining their car.
