Reading Topic: High resolution Mazda RX8 pics.
Well. for me, my dad has put down his downpayment for his RX-8.. its arriving in about a month or so... not sure... Unforunately, he's overseas and won't be able to see it or test drive it before he actually gets his... He was going to also buy a Mazda6 for basically the "2nd" car... but they're going to keep my old Protege for that... Anyway... enough history....
I believe your decision would be on how you like a car to drive... my Mazda6 puts me in the back of my seat when I drive... (pretty jerky sometimes) and have ample hp... but with the RX-8 (hopefully you'll get a manual instead of the auto.. if not, I'll shoot you... cause you wont be gaining anything...) From what I hear in reviews... and have read about the RX-8 and other rotary engine cars... it doesnt drive like a sport car... more of a gradual acceleration .. sure its fast and weighs less... but personally I'd choose my Mazda6 over the RX-8. There's going to be no comparison in how it drives.. Heck the manual has What? 30 hp more than the 6.. dont know what the auto will be.. probably less.
But, if you're going for looks, not going to really touch on that, cause I don't really like the back either.
Good luck on your decision.
