Rollover results are in and the RX-8 is #1
Today from CNN/fn

"It (the NTSC) found only the Mazda RX-8 received the top rating of five stars, which indicates less than a 10 percent chance of a rollover. "

http://money.cnn.com/2004/06/07/pf/autos/rollovers/

One more good thing about this car.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I have YET to get the tires to squeal (from lateral forces) around a corner or a curve...
