I was thinking of getting an RX8, but after reading a few things (like having to top up the oil every 800km and only getting 400km from a 60l tank) Im not sure now.
Engine flooding in the rx8 is extremely exaggerated, if you properly warm your engine (like you should with any car) before you take off, it will never happen. Yeh you do need to top off the oil every now and again, which is no big deal. From memory after researching them i think the post 2005 model's featured a 3rd oil injector to combat starvation.
Rx8 is a good choice IMO, if i ever get another car, that would be next on the list.

Actually, you ask any car manufacturer and they wil tell you to NOT warm up your car by leaving it idling.. All warming up should be done with normal driving conditions. Car's in general shouldnt be left idling for extended times for any reason. However you should leave your car warm down for a minute or two after a hard drive especially round hills.

I usually let it idle for about 30 secs then just drive it while keeping the rpm very low to let it warm up completely. Sometimes I won't idle at all, just drive conservatively for the first few minutes. On really cold mornings, it used to take 5 min to get it to proper operating temp
