I want peoples opinion on the Rx-8

I am thinking about getting one in the spring and i have been reading reviews. Some of them say the car is good and others say its not good. I wanted peoples opinions on the car and especially from people who own the car. I like speed and racing other cars. Is this the right one?
Please write back.... Thank you

What do u expect people here to write about the 8? Since they bought it, then they obviously must think it's good and that the pros outweigh the cons. Go to a crossfire board and ask them if that's a great car and you'll get the same responses that you'll get here about the 8.

rx8 forum asking rx8 peoples opinions.. a bit biased... but it is a great car if you get an updated 04 or newer. some of the original 04s without updates had some problems. fun car with actual room for passengers. fun in turns and coming out of them. do not get an AT or you will be flamed... I promise you this

good luck on your final decision on car and if you get an 8, hope you enjoy her.. treat her well and she will treat you well!

No it ain't worth the insurance.

After all you are just going to drive it around.

If you must, and must win then buy a new 500hp Mustang.

get an 8 then do a 4 rotor swap...there is someone on here who you can talk to about it. He said he was going to do no matter what, you would be a great team.
