had one for 3 days test drive, gr8 car but doesnt compare to a turbo scooby.
mpg's are worse then the scoob as i found myself revving the nuts off of it everywhere.
RWD with the traction control off is real fun tho and it is very controllable.
here's a thread i started: http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...highlight=rx-8

Sorry, no vote here :-(
Hi,
I test drove the 230bhp one last year when i was thinking of a change (i currently own a WRX03 no PPP) Unfortunatley it didn't push me into the seat when I booted it which was an instant put off. It mostly reminded me of a motorcycle as you have to rev the nads out of it to see some decent power - not my preferrence in a car i'm afraid.
Nice looking and very comfortable.
However give me one for a full day and maybe i'd change my mind.

Fimo,
I've got a RX8 230 and love it.(Also had a 03 sti ppp, 18 pffs, prodrive springs at the same time now sold.)Also liked it .
With the scoob its a different kind of enjoyment compared to the mazda, basicaly the turbo rush you don't get in the rx8, but the rx8 screams all the way to 8500 rpm.
Both are great cars in their own right.
Why not go for M8 you won't be dissapointed!
