tiscali (http://www.tiscali.co.uk/motoring/roadtests/roadtest_677_1.html) has a good review of the rx-8. apologies if this has been posted.

Thanks for the post. I like the highest 5 star rating for performance, and found the following quote to be pertinent to recent discussions regarding torque of the RX-8:



Despite the engine's inherent lack of torque, the combination of low weight and the short gearing of the six speed manual gearbox successfully masks any mid-range lethargy - stab the RX-8's electronic throttle and the car leaps forward in any gear, thriving on revs.

this is nice:

SUMMARY: The RX-8 verges on brilliance. No rival comes close to matching the Mazda's combination of eye-catching styling, athleticism, versatility and performance

and the first listed alternative is the bmw 3 series. i've got to get automobile and read what they said in the comparo.:cool:

thanks for the post

Very insightful review!!!!!
