yeah its kinda reminescent of an ambiguous review giving by Jeremy Clarkson where he will bash a car and some it up by saying he loves it...

"Zoom zoom for sure"
"Not fun to drive"

"Not a drift machine"
"Handles really well"

This guy just made me want to vomit, he's a moron.

That was so damn boring; it did make me realize that Clarkson is a great host.

Actually he said he thought he 'burnt it up.' What a freakin' moron. Yes dude - 9k RPM 'burned' it up. I'm sure it had nothing to do with you being an idiot driving on a track while playing with a radio...

Oh well. The 8 beat a TT. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

Body roll in an RX-8. Figures he got a CEL though.

CELs are our friends. Not a solid review. Of course the RX-8 beats out a FWD TT.

My g/f wants a TT.

Don't they also make a AWD version? Also, do they make 2 trims the way they used to?

If I recall, they had a 170HP version and a 220HP version...

Sam Hubinette is a great drifter.

Pshsht, not a shocker. This dude is a race car driver who is use to big power and race equipped applications and he is asked to review the stock TT and RX-8?? Of course his review is gonna be lackluster and boring.....thats because he is likely bored to death! LOL Take that review with grain of salt, is all subjective.
