I drove both long term: RX-8 for 8 years and BRZ for 7. No contest - Mazda was a better car. Even though mine required new engine at 50K miles and another one when I sold it with 95K on odometer. Engine felt better, steering - better, brakes - much better. Even style - it looked more expensive than it was.



Though you only should consider RX-8, if you have capability to do repair work on engine (a must!), transmission, suspension etc. But it can be rebuilt as dedicated track car with greater success than BRZ/FT86.
