Hi , i wanna buy a manual sport car for weekend use . I am confuse to choose whether Rx8 or Toyota Celica.
i prefer rx8 much , but compare to maintanance . i always heard that rx8 got plenty of problem .

and celica is very easy to maintain . OF course if i buy rx8 i will buy the cheapest 2002 years car .10 years rotary engine . i always go long distance place . IS it many problem ? Hopefully some Sifu here get give me a clear comment .

Rx8 hands down. Celica can be barely called a sports car.. I assume you referring the last model FF with a NA lump. It's a hairdresser's car at best.

if maintenance is ur concern, go for Celica. Comfort, Nice, Chick magnet. Mechanic bawah pokok also can fix ur car.
The most important thing is - Toyota ma....

RX8, rotary engine...must go to specialist.

FOr me, if money is a factor, I go for celica la... Maintenance very okay ma... If money not a problem, sure RX8 lo... It snaothe class altogether. Power so much higher. And the revs omg... It spins like a washing machine. And I'm also curious to get a feel or rotary engine. Just that the downside is on maintenance and fuel costs la...
