Been looking at possible new car's for a whilte now..

Always liked RX8's and I think its a possible car for me..

Around same price as Integra DC5, can get newer car for the money, cheaper insurance..

How do you rate them?

I would have the faster 230PS one..

Never really rated them myself. I'm sure they're a nice car.

I'm not keen on them to look at, but all the magazines and TV programmes raved about them. Cant imagine them being much fun to live with long term though.

chap at works got one and he loves everything except the fuel economy. He thought there was something wrong with it when he got it cos of how much fuel it got through only to be told they are all like it.

Oil consumption is pretty tasty too. a top up required every 3 tanks of fuel rings a bell?

Very nice cars though

rx8s are really nice to drive. i work at a mazda dealer. they have there fair share of probs but nothin the dealers cant sort out under warrenty. fuel consuption is about 11mpg when you drive it slowly. the main downside is that it has no guts unless your reving it quite high. save ya money and get the mazda6 mps (2.3 16v 4x4 turbo 260bhp - £23500)
