Used prices on the Euro are very high. They are an awesome car but you are paying a premium compared to many other 2nd hand cars. If you can wait until the end of the year wait for the prices to plummet with the new model.

RX8 consumes more fuel than Euro. You might be looking RX8's fuel economy figure close to V8s so it means you'll pay more for fuel. You might also consider about servicing cost, RX8 uses rotary engine so I am sure the service cost quite higher than Euro.

Yes in terms of performance RX8 is faster than Euro and it has the looks, but personally I am not into performance side but I am looking at comfortable ride with adequate performance. Euro have fulfilled my criteria and I've been very happy with Euro.

RX8 back seat very cramped compared to Euro and it can only sit strictly 2 person in the back instead of 3 in Euro.

I would choose Euro if I were you.

take them both for a drive then think about fuel consumption and servicing costs etc..

rx8 has more potential for increase in power than euro if thats in your scope of what you want to do too

rx8 has too many k's for an engine thats not known for reliability, IMO. id always go the lower K choice

daily driver + weekend driver.

the rx8 is a beautiful performance car with heaps of potential. High maintenance and higher fuel costs are generally associated with performance vehicles, so i guess if you buy a sports car your paying for one on the other hand the euro is more a luxury car with sporty characteristics, both are great cars but they are in different categories. i guess it comes down to what you want in a car.

the rx8 is an awesome car... but the fuel consumption lets it down... some would say get a 350z.. but having 2 seats is a let down... so get the V35 skyline

if its a daily driver then stick with the euro. I mean really how often would you exploit the potential of an RX8? Also the euro is no slouch.

theres clearly a lot of opinion on this one :P

i wouldn't look at a 350z or the v35 simply because of pricy-ness.

im after value for money and, yeah, sportiness, but i dont want to be throwing cash away on petrol and oil.

what i really need to do is take an rx8 for a spin, was supposed to today but was unable to go, but tomorrow for sure.

what do you think runnings costs would be for each car on a yearly basis? i know it depends on driving style, but i dont think i'll be traffic light dragging or anything like that :P
any idea? money is everything these days..
