Disco Matt:
For goodness sakes don't buy the diesel S40, the one I had a brief go in a couple of years ago was slower than my Disco on the highly scientific "floor it in 3rd from 30" test!

A few years ago a friend of mine had an RX-8. It was when they first came out. Anyway the first one only lasted 6 weeks before the engine destroyed itself..!!! He kicked up a real fuss and ended up with a new car, as said before they drink oil and he was using a litre ever couple of weeks or so. Also at that time tyres were a problem as they were a unique size with only one manufacturer making them (think it was Bridgstones) - they cost a fortune and were a special order but I don't know if this has changed.
It did go like the clappers though and I still think they look fantastic.
Mark.

Everyone I've seen has Bridgestone Potenza in a 225/45 x 18"
'Black Circles' offers quite a few in that particular size
