Too big. Too much turbo lag. Not enough of a feel of the road.

 

RX8 is my first car. Was driving parents EL Falcon before. My insurance is $3800.

 

1997 Honda Prelude VTiR

P.s. Loving the RX-8

 

Well it's been interesting reviewing this thread.

The answers I got have been very mixed and not at all stereotypical of what I had been expecting.

Obviously there have been a few standouts including a couple of "My first car is an RX-8" to attract attention but - it must be admitted - not too much sympathy for their insurance bills!

Especially interesting were the number of people whose RX-8 was their first leap up to a Luxury/Sports car. I classify myself in this category (when I eventually get mine of course).

For the record my car ownsership is as follows: -
1991 Nissan Micra 1.0 (UK)
1994 Renault Clio 1.2 (UK)
1997 Renault Laguna RS 2.0 (UK)
1998 Nissan Bluebird SSS (moved to Australia)
2000 Mazda 121
2001 Mazda Premacy (Wife's current car)
2001 Mazda Astina SP20 (My current car)
2005 Mazda RX-8 (My next car!)

Thanks to everyone who responded.
