I am an International Student in a Fairly small town of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, I used to own a car but not anymore, long story short i live in a very mountainous and hilly town and i have got to make a commute of 50-60Kms a day at max usually i would say its going to be 20-30Kms with at least 10km uphill, i need a strong and reliable bike which will last me at least two years, My budget is 1500-2000CAD that will be around 1200-1700USD i will say, please give me recommendations and help me decide the best fit for me.

I need a strong reliable and fast machine, I am a big kid I weigh around 110kgs, 250lbs.

(2004 Mazda RX-8 with a 115k on it)

Hey I am Struggling student right now and i need a daily driver, have got a budget of about 6 grand and i have had a few cars in the past and this time i was thinking of buying something fun when i came across these, i am an international immigrant in north america and i wasn’t much of a car enthusiast growing up so I don’t know much about these but ever since i was 15 i have worked on a lot of cars basically 2nd apprenticeship stuff. In north america mainly.

There are a couple 2004 RX-8 available around where i live in my budget with around 115km mileage on it, would it be a good decision to buy one?

And also what to look for if i am going to buy one, i am not worried of providing the care these cars need and doing regular maintenance but overall on the internet there isn’t a good opinion about the rotary engines, i love the frame and everything about the car but at this point of life i need a car that will last me at least 2-3 years left of my student life. I will be travelling a lot and i am not worried about the fuel consumption but I don’t want to waste away the money and have the car die on me in the middle of nowhere, because I won’t be able to afford another if this doesn’t work out.
