Rx8 beats rivals

The 8 beats the 350Z, Crossfire and Clio V6 on Carbuyer (Oct/Nov) issue. 8 gets 5/5, Z gets 4, Crossfire 3 and Clio 3.

Can't work this bloody scanner so to some up (out of 5)

Performance = 4
Ride = 5
Handling = 4
Practicality = 4

They summed in one word "Brilliant".

AnilS.

P.S if some one can beat me to it to scan, please do so but I'll try again if not.

Won out on practicality/ride I think. 350Z wins out on performance, I suppose its all about priorities, can I manage without a back seat, not really!

Here are the Carbuyer results

350Z

Performance = 5
Ride = 4
Handling = 4
Practicality = 3

RX8

Performance = 4
Ride = 5
Handling = 4
Practicality = 4

Crossfire

Performance = 4
Ride = 3
Handling = 3
Practicality = 3

V6 Clio

Performance = 5
Ride = 2
Handling = 4
Practicality = 2

The verdict : RX8 = Brilliant , 350Z = The best sports car in its class Crossfire = No sports car V6 Clio = Rawness with loopy rationale

Thanks, does anyone know how to change a username, I registered rather hastily and now feel a bit embarassed, its a kind of pet name at home that stuck after my other half found out about the Wankel/Rotary engine in the RX8.

I bought the mag....need not have bothered as there is no more in there than on the web site.

One thing I spotted was customers who pre-order a Daihatsu Copen (Tiny little convertible thingy) will get upgraded to a leather interior for free!

Wouldnt it be nice if Mazda had done something like this with their loyal pre-orderers. But hey, we goot a nice book and picture so I shouldn't complain
