Not enough power, not enough torque and too much body roll.

I'm slightly gutted - is it going to be that bad when I get mine next month?

I wouldnt give too much credibility to Autocar, their opinions are often at odds with everyone else, and they are about the only UK magazine that hasn't rated the RX-8 very highly.

Have a look at some of the UK site links here, most of which give the RX-8 5 out of 5.

look, even autocar this week put it in their top 16 supercars, so it CANT be that bad. Doh.

What do they mean by "body roll"? I have not experienced anything but excellent handling and control with the DCS on or off.

This review is the only really bad review that the RX8 has had so far. But normally I don't much disagree with Autocar reviews.
