Get a truck

Jk I would find out anything you could about the car.

Not being funny but if your a "noob" your young and you have a fast car thats doesn't sound very safe like lots of young people in fast cars normaly cause accidents but im sure your a safe person but thats just my opinion like you see lots about this on the news and all but good luck getting your new car mate!

dude as a guy who owns a mazda3 and an RX7

dont buy that car if you want to turbo it and get into the world of car mods then do not buy it go for a subaru? or what exactly are you trying to get at speed? looks? drifting? what exactly expand in details.

Haha exactly its always going on with young people in fast cars lol but im sure some people are safe and responsible!

Don't get it, Them rotaries once they hit 100k it's time for a new motor there are so many problems with them motor's it's not even funny.

But if you really want it get it it's you're money buy what you want.

The rotary engine is a great engine and can be quite reliable if *PROPERLY MAINTAINED*. For people who know about their engines and maintain them properly you can get 200K miles out of them. Remember that publications like Consumer Reports generally get their data from average schmucks who change their oil once-a-year whether they need it or not, and consider their vehicles to be an "appliance"...like a toaster or refridgerator.

Unlike a piston engine where regular folk ignore them, a rotary MUST have regular oil changes (every 3000 miles) and you MUST run them hard regularly to clear out carbon build up. Carbon build up is more damaging to a rotary. Piston engines don't like running to redline...it's hard on them. By contrast rotary's relish and need regular runs to redline. You cannot 'granny' a rotary. Too much carbon will destroy apex and rotor side seals. The automatic RX8's are more prone to this as the owners tend to be more conservative drivers who won't push the motor as hard.

Look into adding extra lubrication by 'pre-mixing' 2 cycle engine oil into your gas. This is, in many rotary engine experts opinions, a way to greatly add reliability.

If you buy a boosted rotary, or plan to add FI to one, be conservative with your boost. Rotary's gain tremendous power when turbocharged or supercharged, but it will also shorten its life if the engine isn't well-tuned. And over-boosting will destroy a rotary very quickly as detonation will blow a rotor or apex seal almost immediately.

A lot of Mazda's Rx8 engines fail, that's why so many people sell them for under 2 Grand.

If you don't believe me, check Gumtree.
They want to get rid of this car ASAP!
I was going to buy one, but after seeing reviews! Hell no! Neverrrrr!

If you want a fast little car, buy a VW Golf! You won't be dissapointed, trust me! very nippy little cars.

Also, when buying a car.. Think about insurance too.

ive been driving since i was 15 and i can say with some confidence im a pretty well maintained driver and i even get a little shaky about driving and drifting fast what i think you should honestly do is buy a small 2-4 door 5-speed standard card to learn the ins and outs of driving if this is gonna be your first time on the road preferably buy a honda (im not much for Honda's really maybe the Civic Si but not really) but anyways buy a honda civic its a small car easy to maintain and those bad boys are great first cars and the parts and labor are pretty much DIY so you can easily learn about cars so you don't take it to a mechanic and get screwed over, this is a honest good opionion but just take it as you will bud and good luck and god speed.

you're very true if WELL MAINTAINED but you need EXPERIENCE in order to do this, if its a beginner straight on the starting line this may be a bit over the top maybe for someone who has worked with engines but most definitely not a beginner not trying to sound mean but the truth hurts sometimes just trying to save you money and time trust me.

Yes that is very true, IMO in being in Texas and all i would just get a car that has a LT/LS motor as my last car was a 1996 Impala with a LT1 and it had 294,592 miles on it still running like a scolded ape, But for all of it's life it was MAINTAINED by my dad just about all it's life ,

Bottom line IMO get a car that you can learn from and make sure the parts don't cost a hole lot of $$$ Honda's have some decent looking cars that will run for ever just about and the part's are cheap and same goes for a LT/LS motor but then a again it really depends on how well the car has been treated it's hole life. (If a car is neglected it's really bad for it)
