Hi RonanC, Alls Kool, That "rant" was actually a bit tongue and cheek - I was hoping the little smiley guy might elude to that ... here he is again :D Hard to convey stuff by text only - we dont see the whites of the eyes or the wry smiles :D MATHEPAC Said: "no Seat, no Skoda, only 1...

Hi Un123, At one stage I was looking at the RX8 also. The Rotary Engine sort of scared me off for 4 reasons: 1. Possible whole engine rebuild at 60k miles 2. Eats petrol relatively - mid 20's?? 3. Insurance high? even though it is a 1.3 Rotary, it is rated as 1.8? 4. Naturally eats oil...
