I think you need to do some browsing on clubrx8 they talk in lengths on why the mazda rx8 motor is good but is a huge huge hassle and has lots of problems. There is also tons of posts on why not to get an older model because the engine was prone to flooding.
forums arent really representative though. not saying it doesnt happen but if you think about how most people on forums arent just casual drivers, and how nobody ever makes a post just to say how the car just worked as expected today then you can see how skewed the information is
