well i was just checking out the crossfire forums (don't ask me why, they make me want to puke) and i noticed they all feel that the rx8 is slower than the crossfire..I mean i heard and read that those things were slow...what do you guys think is faster?? both manual...

 

i thought some of these comments were hillarious!!!


CFforums

 

this guy is ******* nuts


i got to test drive both cars. to me the crossfire was funner to drive. it feels more tossable than the 8 and just kind of fit me better. the suspension is a little soft though. on the other hand, the rotary is a fun engine and the 8's interior is rommier and of better quality. plus mazda has been successful in building sports cars (miata and rx7) in this general price range.

 

no no this ones a good one...

"The Mazda over stated the horsepower of the RX8 I don't think I would even concider it. They had to lie to make the car seem better than it is. I have met one at a traffic light and was dumb enough to get froggy.... He lost pretty badly. I'm not impressed!!! If you can't make up your mind, buy the RX8.... But don't ever challenge a Crossfire.... You won't be happy with the results."

The Crossfire has more torque (229 vs 159) but less HP (215 vs 238). R&T gives the '8 a faster 1/4 mile by .2 sec (14.5 vs 14.7) and faster 0-60 (5.9 vs 6.4).

Look at an RX-8 and then look at a Crossfire and all of your concerns will fade away.

 

yawkk!!!! it looks like an abused dog with its tail between it's legs

 

I'm sorry i had to do this...

 

wtf??

 

Seriously the Crossfire is so ugly I would be embaressed to be seen driving one !

 

Hahaha, you guys sound like them or is it they sound like you...

 

Here's a link to the Topgear video, I'm sure this will fuel your fires

Haahaahhaa "For 5,000 pounds less though.... you can have the Mazda RX-8... it's a complete no brainer, really that's the easiest decision you'll ever make!"

end of story

 

Actually I am not one of you since I don't own an RX-8 ( nor a crossfire btw ) !

 

Tread lightly my friend :p You're actually one of me... I guess...

 

LOL, I bet there is a member over there whose name is IkeRX8 and would be spouting off on the following points:

- The Crossfire is all looks and lacks the performance compared to the RX-8.

- The Crossfire may handle better on the autox but autox is not really a good indicator of performance. The RX-8 would beat the Crossfire in the track.

- IkeRX8 would champion the non-luxury brands and their great performance per dollar value every time a Crossfire member scoffs of any car that doesn't have the same level of luxury as their cars.

:p

 

The Crossfire isn't even worthy of my bashing

 

-Shall I have this or the "Mazzda?"

After watching that video I dislike the Crossfire even more.

They really ragged on the Crossfire in that video.

 

Wow, that was quite the beating Top Gear gave. Did he say "Would I rather have this or the Mazda" at the end? If he did, nuff said :-)

 

but the guy from 5th gear gives it a pretty decent review from what i remember.

 

So so true. Terribly overpriced for what you get (an old *** mercedes). Maybe with 300hp stock it would be worth the money but the G35c would still be way better imo. Have not driven the crossfire but sat in several at the dealer and the interior appreared very cheap and ugly for being "upmarket". Its the old lady version of the RX-8. Slower and heavier with enough power to effectively put around town and be seen.

 

wow i never saw that video and even that guy said it looks like a dog takin a crap....HAHAHA!!!!!!

 

Wow, biased views in favor of cars in which the owners spent more than a few bucks on. Go figure. That never happens here (or in my own house).

 

I've read a lot of reviews on the 8 and they were all very good to raving. The reviews of the Crossfire seem to be very mixed and inconsistent. Dog going #2, LOL.

 

The SRT Crossfire will spank the 8 all over the place. It's a stylish luxurious car like the RX8. In the end, both cars are hella turdy compared to the Evolution.
