thanks for the info zinyo
i was actually looking for reliability as well as a bit of sofistication and luxury in the interior thats why i was having the hard time of tossing between the rx8 and the dc5 R but i guess now its not worth digging into ur pockets all the time to run the car just for a better interior so thats why i am leaning more towards the dc5 now

btw any idea on how much to get a sunroof fitted to the dc5 R
thanks again for all the help =D

i think its around 2.5k to get a sunroof fitted, correct me if im wrong

Try and find a DC5R that already has a sunroof?
I know its rare but there are a few.

i know 8 pages of replies but im just saying..

having sat in both the rx8 and dc5r's the dc5 is more roomy. the rx8 may aswell be a 2 door. like u said both cars have there plus n minus i wreckon take bother for a drive n see which 1 u like better... at the end of the day every1s different. eg: if i had the money for an rx8 id buy a 4 door charade and an s2k

lmao

Cheers for the info guys. But yeah would buy one with a sunroof already but there is only one in nsw and there are other things on other dc5 rs for sale that have more goodies than this one with only a sunroof
