Re: Mazda RX-8?
I have one. It's a great little car. Very unique looking and it handles better than almost any car in its price range.
Cons:
* it is a little slower than other sports cars in the same price range.
* it's a pain to get into and out of the back seats (though I've been told it's relatively roomy once you're back there.)
* Gas mileage is terrible. Granted that I drive the car a lot harder than most, I only get about 17-19 mpg.
* This may be a pro or con, depending on how you look at it. To get the best performance out of the car, you have to rev it a lot. The red line is at 9000 rpm and it pulls all the way there. If you're used to engines with a lot of torque, you'll have to get used to driving a lot differently. E.g., if you're going 60 and want to pass, it's a must to downshift. In some cars, you can get away with leaving it in top gear. In the 8, you have to downshift from 6th to 3rd.
