That's ok thou, 86 isn't in the same shoes as RX8. Going from RX7 to RX8 was such a letdown.

completely agree. RX8 was an emberrasment to the RX series. A complete abomination.

Celica still owns that....

pr086 · 01-03-2013, 10:47 AM

as far as reliablity goes, would you consider buying a used FD rx7? just curious

Burrcold · 01-03-2013, 10:53 AM

I would have considered an RX-8 when they first came out, but the fuel economy was worse than the also new V6 G35 Coupe (which in Canada was pretty close in price). So I went with a new G35 Coupe (this was back in 2004).

I think the Honda CR-Z would be better as the "Slowest Fast Looking" car. After I purchased mine for long distance commuting there were a ton of people that assumed it was fast. Yeah.... no.

Stock suspension / tires handle like crap too (hybrid time!)

But it still looks good though lol..

Until you get to a corner...

RX8 is a great little car, don't why people always compare it to the RX7, maybe cause Rotary and Mazda?

You bought a hybrid for highway commuting? It doesn't "hybrid" on the highway.
