Best: Owning a car that if it got totalled, I would buy again.
Worst: Asshats who bought the car and didn't know what it was.
Best: Feeling the suspension set on an on/off ramp and then riding the gas through.
Worst: Tight head space for a helmeted tall driver.
Best: Owning a sports car that I can take 500 mile road trips in and not have to immediately go to a chiropractor.
Worst: Horrible front license plate placement.
Best: The car is absolutely gorgeous.
Worst: HVAC wired into the head unit.

+1. I also like to add:
Best: The fact that Mazda designed this car from the ground up using an exclusive chassis (not shared with minivans, sedans, CUV).

best: sikly smooth 9,000 rpm and the fact that I own the only current production vehicle with a Rotary
Worst: like DarkBrew said; Having to admit the car is underpowered. You can't really bitch about gas mileage because 350Z's, Mustang GT's, G35 coupes and other cars in our class (except the S2000) are getting damn near the same.

Title says "Rotary powered vehicle", not Rx-8. Although I tend to agree with you on when it comes to the 8.

Best: Super Handling Ability And Smoothness Overall.
Worst: Gearbox Feels Like A Domestic Car. I.e. Long Throw, Shifter Vibrates More Than Normal. Doesn't Feel Like A Sports Car's Gearbox. S2000's Gearbox ***** On Ours But It's Okay Because That's The Only Thing That's Better In A S2000
