Oct. Car and Driver has the RX-8 in it's selection of best cars new or used for $20,000. Quote; "Rx-8 teaches the value of precision and momentum-and it's very good at precision". Remember it also has three "10Best Awards", can't think of any car of this type that can match that. 3 series? My wife still can't figure out why I love this car!

 

as a used car, there's no better value out there for the sports car buyer imho

 

I completely agree the RX-8 is the best value for a used car and Im glad its getting some respect.

 

nice! the rx8 deserves to be on the list

 

I think depreciation put it there...which is both good and bad...Good for whoever went out and got one under 15k, great buy in my opinion. Bad for whoever went out and dished like 35k after taxes

 

it deserves to be on there great car for the price

 

RX-8

Best used sports car

Worst new sports car

 

Totally agree, my limit was around 15k after totalling my first 8. And after driving several cars in the same price bracket (GTI, WRX, Mini S, 328i, 350z) the 8 just made so much sense mpg aside. So i found a shinka literally 3 miles away and bought it the same day.

 

How is that a new pricing? That's even lower than the lowly miata or mazda3/2/6.

 

I wish our cars weren't such a great deal... cause that's hurting anyone wanting to sell. Plus it sounds better to get the best rating for 30k than for 20k.

 

But for 30k your options really open up. Id take a used SS camaro for 30k

 

You may want to read the latest Motor Trend that compares 10 cars for the best drivers car. The Camaro SS rated last with the Mazda MX5 in 3rd place and if they had an RX in the mix I'm sure it would also be high on the list. Besides I haven't an SS offered at a Chevy dealer that wasn't 8-10k oversticker.

 

i agree love the rx8 and yes best car in 04,05,06 models.

 

rx8 is an amazing deal used. new, not so much.
