Compared to G35, will RX8 be much different to keep it?

Compared to G35, will RX8 be much different to keep it?

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.
