rx8 auto vs crossfire
Which of the two would be better at acceleration and overall?
|
CrossFire: 215 hp@ 5700 / 229 ft-lbs@ 3000 / 3084 lbs
RX-8: 197 hp@ 7200 / 164 ft-lbs@ 5000 / 3053 lbs Crossfire would be faster in a straight line, ' Overall ' is up to each person, it cannot be answered. |
Crossfire is faster in acceleration especially since it has a decent auto-gearbox--the auto RX8 handles/looks/better quality than the Crossfire.
|
the crossfire has horrible rear visibility, its like sitting in a tunnel thats progressively getting smaller. I looked at one and its wasnt even an option for me vs the 8
|
The fact that it's decade old, redressed SLK architecture makes it bad enough in my book.
|
Top Gear ripped the Crossfire a new one when they test drove it. They actually recommended the Celica over it.
|
crossfire might be faster but you'll be driving a car that looks like a big gigantic shoe.
|
I test drove it and it felt VERY heavy. I am sure that is due to it's MB lineage, but it just didn't feel right. Also as stated before the visibility was horrid.

"...the worst US/German collaboration since a man called August A. Busch came over to America, tasted the water and said 'ahhh dis would make good beer' and so was born that headache in a can we now known as Budweiser" -- Clarkson on the Crossfire (off the top of my head) |

i ended up getting an 8 over the crossfire because i wanted a manual and i thought the 8 was more fun to drive by far in stick form. if i wanted an automatic I might have gone with the crossfie. I actually like their looks quite a bit and loved the fact that some people hated it.
looks a lot better as a convertible imho. |
this reminds me of that whole fiasco when cas2themoe was.........oh nevermind.
