2006 Mazda RX-8 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? — trying to narrow this down

I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Call your insurer in Atlanta before you fall in love with the 2006 Mazda RX-8. If they balk, that's your answer. Any freeze-frame data saved? If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

I asked about 8 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually again and they still won't put GAP/add-ons on their own lines. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Call your insurer in Atlanta before you fall in love with the 2006 Mazda RX-8. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “8 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I screenshotted the quote for later.

PPI is scheduled. I'm not depositing until I see the 2006 Mazda RX-8 notes. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Same neighborhood, different next step: Call your insurer in Atlanta before you fall in love with the 2006 Mazda RX-8. Do that before you talk monthly again. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? This is the version I'd tell a friend.
