2006 Mazda RX-8

Pros: Beautiful design, extreme comfort, luxury/sport feel, 6 speed, high revs, head turner, badass looking cockpit!
Cons: Low tourque >:(

I have owned many vehicles even for someone at the young age of 30. I Have even owned a sports bike the Honda CBR600 f3, bought brand new. Have owned an 88 Toyota Supra Turbo, Mustang 5.0 and many others... My friend bought a 2004 Subaru WRX STI and although its an impressive handling and accelerating car, it just wasn't as comfortable as the RX-8. It was faster, having 300 hp and all wheel drive but, the interior was not as ergonomic or as impressive looking. The Subaru is designed more as just a race car with hardly any insulation in the doors and ultra thin feeling seats. The Mazda is extremely quiet on the inside and very, very comfortable seats! The body style of the Subaru was pretty good but the RX-8 stands out in a crowd much more than many cars, including the Nissan 350z, Subaru wrx sti, the Honda s2000, 2006 mustang GT. I'd say the only one that has style close to the Mazda’s is the Lancer EVO. Although the Lancer has a cheaper look to it, which it is an upgrade made from a cheaper economy car.

Pros: Sports car handling,smooth, short throw shifter, smooth power curve, best car value under $30K
Cons: fuel economy, not very easy to get in and out of

I leased an RX8 in October of last year, and for the most part I couldn't be happier. The car handles like a dream, is fun to drive, and gets lots of stares.

Pros: Handling, performance,smooth as butter acceleration, and a joy to drive
Cons: Fuel economy. But who buys sports cars in this class for gas mileage??

Let's just say the RX8 is without a doubt exceptional to look at and styling is cutting edge. Beautiful lines and sleek sexy body.

Pros: Sporty and practical
Cons: No bluetooth, 18mpg, options grouped in expensive packages

Extremely fast but still practical this car is like driving a race car. It can keep up with any car in its price range in the straights and leaves the compition in the dust whenyou hit the curves. It has a lot of head and leg room (I'm 6'4") and is a very smooth ride (especially for a sports car).
