Gone, gone, gone

After five years of joys and frustrations, we've decided that we needed to go separate ways. Listed on Autotrader, sold three days later, 32k 2004 Auto. $12.5. This was my wife's daily driver, replaced with boring, but hopefully much more dependable Honda Civic EX (also she can fold down seats and throw her road bike in the trunk), with the expectation that gas prices will probably work their way higher and 28 mpg in town/37 hwy will be a lot more attractive than 16/22.

Lol that sucks, from an rx-8 to a Civic... Anyway, good luck!

2004 AT.....dont blame you for unloading it. You were lucky to get the sale so quickly, worked out nicely. GL with the new ride

Automatic option was the worst thing Mazda did to the 7 and the 8.

Did you consider the Mazda 3 5 door?

ecsw 05-15-2009 12:39 PM

funny enough. I am picking up my brand new 2008 RX8 GT tomorrow at the price of a brand new loaded Civic. :p

I thought that was a steal. :)

Buy a Civic! Oh... you actually did buy a Civic. Somebody finally listened.

TheWulf 05-15-2009 01:16 PM

I woulda gone for a new Speed 3... you can get some crazy torque out of a good tune on those.

rotarykillz 05-15-2009 01:20 PM

MazdaSpeed3 is a sexy little car...its not an 8, but very nice for the pricetag. Fuel mileage is a little nicer than the 8 too.

Only way I'd go Civic is if I was buying a Hybrid

That is until the Hydro8 comes out! (if ever)

Hopefully your wife enjoys the civic as much as she did the 8.

CarAndDriver 05-15-2009 10:43 PM

AT 8 and Honda Civic EX, probably about the same 0-60....

RX-8 is great for spirited driving once in a while but definitely not as a daily driver IMO. I had an 04 Civic Lx as my DD which I traded for an 09 Civic Si.

I need to point out that the 8 (an 06) shares the garage with the wife's car and the Civic (although newer) gets to enjoy the driveway!

I have 07 Civic as a daily driver .... gets the job done . RX8 comes out on the weekends.

ZumnRx8 05-16-2009 07:59 AM

^^^ agree... i DD a 00 Hyundai Elantra....Mazda 5 is nice....

That's crazy talk. Surely nothing can beat VTEC.
