Advise on buying secondhand RX8

I am planning to buy a sports car. I have two choice that is Mazda RX8 and Honda Integra. I will use this car on weekend only and for fun. I would like you guys help me to give some advise on this two car. Which will benefit me in-term of easy maintenance, engine power and looks? Another question is which transmission is better for RX8 is it automatic or manual?

Please give some advise guys....because i'm planning to buy it on this October...

Above all, please don’t make threads on subjects that have been covered a thousand times, use the search function on this site, or click this link that might work better for you -----> Search rx8club via Google try it, I set it up for you!

Now, for my personal opinion.................

easy maintenance = Honda
engine power = Honda (although you won't know it)
looks = RX8
tranny = rx8 = Manual or you won't be happy.

Try researching both cars and you might make up your mind by then. The rx8 is fun to drive, but have some issues (not trying to bum rush the 8...lol), but you could avoid it if you take care of it. The Acura Integra on the other hand, less issues (i assume...my friend has one with less problem), and never had major problems so far. Anyway, try to test drive both cars and compare and see what you like and not like about it. Good luck on whichever you choose.

My piece of advice is for you to learn the difference between advise (verb) and advice (noun).

I will now advise you to buy a Civic. How's that for some great advice?
