I'm looking for a car.
•Less than 10k
•RWD or AWD
•good condition
•coupe/sedan/wagon
•4cyl, 6cyl, even a rotary
•turbo a plus
•not a pony car >(lol can't turn)
•not a Miata >pic related
I need a new dd, but I want to hoon on my ride to/from work. I live in a hilly/bendy area, which is why I don't want muscle (will never get to use it right). And I'm not super-fat like pic, but I am too tall for a Miata.
2009 Rx8

How often do the seals actually need replaced? Can I do it like once in 100k miles?

You do it every time the seals wear out, junior. If you're hard on it all the time you'll shorten the interval in which you have them replaced. Also RX-8s eat spark plugs, gas and oil. I own one and I can tell you that unless you're willing to put up with the high maintenance that the car comes with, don't even think of getting one.
G35 (rwd) or G35x (awd) can be had for well under $5,000 and are basically a more comfortable 350z. They're pretty reliable but can be a pain in the ass to work on sometimes.

It didn't need to be a Miata for me to make my point.

High maintenance isn't an issue for me. I found an old S-class for $2k one time... Now that's maintenance.

I've actually been trying to hunt down a J30.
Despite your picture, check out z3 coupe, the Germans make cars for bigass people, odds are you won't be cramped, the 2.8L won't be the best powerwise but it's in budget.

Woah, that looks like fun. The automatic would be a bit disappointing though You should see if you could find a q45 from the 90s, they had a v8 with right under 280 hp (probably could squeeze a bit more out too).

Just reread post, missed the v4/6 and rotaries kek. Still take a look at the q45 though. Really nice cars.

Same drivetrain as a 300ZX. If Nissan Scum like myself can't hunt down a 300ZX manual tranny for a swap, I should hang up my Nismo embroidered faux-leather jacket, my Z pendant, and my GT-R baseball cap.
