Hi all ! Just got a nice wee cash injection from a PPI repayment and want a daddy car. We have a Skoda Fabia vRS as the family car on the Motability scheme. So there is restrictions on how and when its used. I dont want to abuse this scheme like others do. I Would not con the benifit system so wont be abusing the Motability Scheme. So the wife has the most use of this car with the school run and picking up my son. But i find my self wanting a car for only me....perhaps put the family in it every now and again. The rx8 looks a good on paper. Sports car looks, good handling,and the benifit of it being a 4 seater too. Now to the questions. Are the engines THAT prone to blowing up. Oil consumption seem to be a recurring theme. Also how much fuel they use seems to be a issue for some owners. Are there proper 4 seat car, ie me, the wife, a six year old and a 14 year old occasionally. Are they capable of big millage. I hope some owners/people in the know are on here as everyone seems to have a opinion on these cars but dont know anyone who really knows about them.
