Good friend of mine has a 2004 RX-8 he got for a steal used at a Land Rover dealer. It had TONS of recalls done to it, but he's got 70,000 miles on it now and has had no issues whatsoever, just keep an eye on the oil level. It does feel totally different than the FR-S though, if you've never driven one. Biggest thing I've learned about them is just to bite the bullet and use OEM parts, people have issues not using the Mazda leading/trailing spark plugs all the time, for an example.
