c'mon, the rx-8 is a great car, but the g35 has more horsepower and torque. and, yes definitely a better 0-60 time (unless you're gonna count on driver error, but in that case i can turn faster in a prius than a really crappy slow driver does in a ferarri). |
RX 8 is smoother. Can't feel any vibration as it has very few parts.
Rx 8 is more unique. Does he change his own oil? If yes get the 8. If no get the G35 |

Which ever one has a higher score for him, he should get (provided he's still undecided after the test drives). On getting a used RX-8, we looked at a 2005 GT with 17k miles. Dealer asking $20k with 2.5 years of warranty left on it. The car is in excellent, not mint, condition. Somewhat of a downside is the rear tires are different brands (Dunlops) from the front tires (Bridgestone RE040). I guess the four tires will need to be replace with something else then...Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 perhaps. |
But Spork's reply hurts RX8 Fanbois!! :D

Thanks opus_opus. and dmp, it's sad when fanboiness gets to you and they're praising the thing you like. :) |
I'd say get the 8. He'll be bored with the sedan quick... plus it's not nearly as sweet.
