I decided and sadly I gotta say its time to move on and sell RX8 and get something else. I drive a lot on daily basis and 16MPG kills me. Also I need something reliable with warranty so I don't have to worry to get from point A to point B. Don't get me wrong I love my RX8 and I think its ultimate driving experience but now for me going to college full time and working full time , its not the best choice. I hope one day I will be able to come back to rotary game and buy a rx8 or rx7 as a project car. Saying that I have couple cars that I'm thinking about; Hyundai Genesis Couple , good looking car that's not too expensive I would stay in 2dr sports car class but then I don't think I'm gaining much space I'd say its probably even smaller then RX8 and insurance would be pretty expensive. If I would buy one I would go with 2.0T version. Second choice is Golf GTI , very solid German car , feels near perfection inside , interior is great. Only thing that backs me off , is only 200hp (can be made quicker) and FWD. Third and final choice is Subaru WRX , quickest out of all , most spacious (sedan) but most expensive one. Also the interior feels super cheap , its all plastic! What do you guys think?? Do you have any other ideas?? Help me please.

 

Well...good luck. I know you will regret selling it, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, i voted for the Volks.

 

Getting 2012 Genesis 2.0T

 

You should get the Genesis 3.8 R Spec. It doesn't have all the extras but that is on purpose.

 

I voted for the VW because its the best of the 3 according to my tastes. However I would recommend the new Scion FR-S above anything else. Its going to have amazing handling with great gas mileage and very good looks.

 

plus ive heard that the subaru wrx is very expensive to insure

 

Here's whats up!!! 3.8 R-Spec if everything works out I'll have it on Wednesday

 

Um, OK, it's Thursday. Either it didn't work out, or he's out enjoying himself. Strange though how he asks for opinions and decides the very next day.

 

Should have waited for the BRZ/FRS.

 

Every car in his poll would destroy a BRZ/FRS in all aspects. Looks of course are debatable.

 

Unless he's willing to wait a while, that's probably not the best recommendation. I have no doubt they will suffer from dealer mark up for a while and will be very difficult to find. I believe orders have already been opened, so there's probably a bit of a waiting list for them as well.

As 9k said, the other options are probably better in general, with the exception of personal preference or specific uses. I think the FRS/BRZ is probably too small for what the OP was looking for. The genesis coupe is even a little larger. I'd imagine the FRS/BRZ might end up being a better driving experience (more fun), but that's still subjective.

 

Good luck with beating that 16mpg problem with a 3.8 R-Spec...

 

Epa suggests 19 city 29 highway, not bad at all considering he gets 333 hp and 290 torque as well. The 3.8 isnt the r-spec though, thats the 5.0 v8 which I think he should get instead. That thing is 429hp and 376 tq and gets 16 city/ 25 highway. Over double our tq and damn near double our hp and they still beat our highway mileage.

Very heavy car though.. Base curb weight of 3800 - 4100 lbs?

 

^You're thinking Genesis. Not genesis coupe. The coupe also has an R-Spec package that is a V6 3.8

 

^ What he said.

 

Put up some pics of the Genesis when you get it. I guess the mods are no longer coming as stated in your sig

 

He's been on the site this afternoon.

 

Nice choice. Wil be an easier burnout car. I would have gone v6 Mustang or off lease 370z. I think you will miss the Rx8 when its gone.

 

Im still here , I love the rotary and I hope I can come back once (RX7 project car). I got the 3.8L V6 R-Spec Genesis and I will be picking it up on Monday . Mods were there but didnt get to list them. Here's video of having fun with it yesterday, I will enjoy my 8 over the weekend and then its gone.

 

That was just f'ing stupid, man.

 

You almost had yourself a project car sooner than you thought.

 

Your not too far away from me. Who's lot was that?

 

Holy sh*t, that was a close one.

 

It was a close one.... its a small parking lot in Roselle.... I have a long day at work today but tmrw I'll take all my parts off and take it for a long cruise downtown....

 

I lol'd at the video .

"LONG LIVE THE ROTARY" *CRUNCH* "aw ****... call the insurance"
