I should assume Ford Focus is a better car compared to Bugatti Veyron bcos sales figures are better?

as some one just recently facing the decision of a rx-8 or any other sports car- I say go with the 8 if you want a true drivers car. The z has a VERY cheap interior, which is a let down for nissan, as their other cars ( maxima and altima )have a interior that could be compared to a lexus. The 8 does have its share of problems, too. But if a coupe is what you want, you won't have more fun driving any other car. The off the line performance leaves a little to desire, and you gotta rev it up to unlock its potential, and ruin its mileage. still, if I had the cash to buy either and keep my current ride, I wouldn't even consider the Z , just look at it. The RX-8 is one of the best looking mass produced car on the market today. It turns my head every time I see one. I don't even notice the Z.

If you have to come here to ask which is better......it's like asking Darth Vader which side of the Force he prefers.

Trust your own car buying sensibilities/priorities and.............just for fun post the same question in a 350 Z forum and report the results here.
"what do i expect in an rx-8 forum"? well you asked the question, let me answer it. every once in a while, a few S2000 and 350Z trolls. I love those cars, and have lots of great friends who drive them. but of course, every 1 out of 100 owners, the poor ATTENTION-STARVED dude will drudge into an adverse area to gather attention, like tom hanks gathering coconuts on a fiji island. so sad.

I think you're just as confused as the guy that thinks his RX-8 has climate control...

Try comparing cars in a similar segment.

IMHO this sums it up best

He said "pithy" not pity or pitiful. Pithy means 'short and to the point'. But yeah, he was still making fun.

OP, nice choice. Enjoy the 8.

I have tested a couple of 350zs over the years. It is like driving an f body camaro. Has power but is not comfortable at all and handling is not great. My rx8 handles better than my c5 vette. rx8 is my daily driver and enjoy driving (redlining) every day. Also twin turbo 300z was better than 350z.
