RX8 for sure if you're going sports look, Euro for more luxurious look. But yeah, auto RX8 loses power, so never get a RX8 or any sports car in auto, it'll suck. lol.

177kw for manual and 140-150 somethin for auto isnt it?
i lurve RX8s but i lurve my euro more ;)
BUT....i have to admit....i am totally in love with RX7 Series 8's.... i would get that in an instant if i had the money
in Japan, indonesia and many other countries. AUTO RX-8 priced cheaper than the MANUAL. about 4k cheaper.
Due to crappy 4 Speed auto and less power.
Dont know why here in AUS auto rx8 is priced higher than manual.
Just the fact that it drinks more than 20Litres of petrol per 100km when pushed is enough for me to steer clear of this car no matter how good it looks. That sort of fuel consumption is just plain ridiculous.Quote:

It's like buying Porsche Boxter :b
Just coz it's got the name doesn't mean it puts out..
*cough* Subura GX done up *cough* ;)
I agree that for me personally, I'd only go RX8 leather pack.
However -- not that I've driven one -- the Boxter is a still a great sports car by all accounts. It's just not as good as other more expensive Porches. It's all relative... I wouldn't say no if someone offered me one.
Similar for the WRX: from one point of view, yes it's a cheap small car with an expensive price tag, but from another, they really are pretty good performance for money.
Always been more an Evo fan myself and they're another case of still a bit cheap and nasty inside, but they sure as hell go... I've never been in any other car that's gone like an Evo...
Jusrt depends what you want in a car -- and how deep are your pockets!
agree totally with you Tobster,
I love the evo, and personally hands down would choose one over the WRX STi any day.
But you're just paying for the performance - like the WRX. Mind you, the WRX inside actually feels more luxurious when compared to an EVO lol.
If my pockets were that deep, i'd have my Porsche :)
only a matter of time that the 911, (933 body style) is within my price range lol.. give it a few more years ;)
Yeah, I keep dreaming that when my mid-life crisis hits in about about 10 years I'll be able to afford that non-thrashed manual M3 that I'll find somewhere...
haha, why hasnt this been moved to the lounge? Its gone waay OT and now its not about honda's lol. Interesting read though!
