My previous car was G35. It is wrecked because of an accident on highway and I am planning to get a RX8.

I know that RX8 has low gas mileage and is more difficult to maintain it than others. I guess gas mileage is about same with G35, and the only difference between RX8 and others is engine so I don't think it will not be much different compared to G35. (I read all sticky posts, i learned what I can do and what I cannot do), am I right?

I guess not. They're totally different cars. They're both sporty yet luxurious. But i'm pretty sure the G weighs a good amount more. I'd expect the following from the 8 : Better handling, worse gas mileage, a little more maintenance, a little less torque, a much higher redline.

I like the G35 and RX8 A LOT, so whatever car you decide to get will be a winner.

My advice is to drive an rx8, MT of course, and run her hard; you will quickly know which car is for you after.

g35 same gas consumption as a rx8 i dont think so last time i checked they could do under 10L/100km while my 8 gets closer to 13L/100km
