My 8 is my daily driver, i love it... Fits like a glove and ive never been in any other car that i have felt more comfortable in, even when i take a 14 hour none stop drives to Daytona Beach.
Matter of fact the bouncy soft feel makes me sick when im driven in my wife's Audi A6 2.7t, or Sonata.

That sounds like a mechanical problem. I think you'd have a hard time getting fuel economy down to 4 on the track actually.

Daily driver here. That was a key selling point for me. 18/25 mpg unless I tear up some back roads. I sometimes miss the 2 seat design of my old RX-7, but otherwise no regrets.

mine was my daily drive, bought it 1 year ago almost put 30,000 miles on it cause i would use any excuse to take a drive, but 3 sets of tires in a year and 3-4 fill ups a week made me get a daily driver.
now it still had to be fun so i picked up a mazdaspeed protege, and blew the motor within a week so my rx8 is my dd again lol

I drive my 8 EVERY DAY, have had her for 2 months and still stop and stare at her lol. I can walk to work and it would take me 5 mins, I choose to warm up my baby and drive in style.

my 8 is not my dd and gets stored for winter ~6 months a year. i bought it for a toy (bday present to myself. had it for almost 5yrs and its paid off for almost a year. lots of mods lots of money. i dont care about gas prices because my dd beater truck is worse than my 8.
because i dont dd when i do drive it i drive the **** out of it and get ~220mi per tank. i dont care how hard you drive your 8 (unless fi) you should be getting more than 4-8mpg. i think somethings wrong with your car

Yeap its my daily and I wouldn't have any other way, as matter of fact this car has ruined me for other cars I find myself having a hard time driving anything less than if the shifter isn't awesome,great handling, and all the other perks of the RX8 I don't even want to drive it.
She was my DD when my commute was almost 40 miles each way, and she's my DD now that my commute is less than ten miles 3-4 days a week.

My r3 is my dd. Gas sux but when the car makes you feel like a boss and is a riot to drive, all those worries quickly go away.

Daily driver: 60 miles daily commute during the week, 200 miles round trip on weekends. 61,000 flawless miles so far, consistent 24 mpg average.
I've been looking, but I haven't driven any other cars that would replace this one....
