The TC is a great daily driver, I own one and I love it! it looks great, great realyability, and it has a lot of potential!! you cant beat the price either!!

I'd get the mazda 6 hatchback in your situation. Nice car. Next choice would be the M3 hatchback.

My second car is a beat up '89 240SX. It's in pretty poor condition, but the driving experience is relatively close to the RX-8s and it's great in the snow with a decent set of snow tires. it's beat enough that I don't mind tying junk down to the roof or anything, so it serves my purposes well enough.

I gotta agree with the Accord Hybrid.

I've been looking into these lately and I must say, apart from the boring exterior, it's looking like I'm going to buy it. 29City/38 Highway mileage, 255HP V-6, and 0-60 in 6.7 seconds! Its faster then a regular v-6 EX accord and gets kickass gas mileage. I can drive from here(Las Vegas) to Phoenix AND BACK on one tank of gas. Almost 700 miles to the tank highway. Plus it only comes with or without nav, all other options are included.

I'll probably be picking one up in the next few months.

Have you already test driven one? I was wondering what it is like, in terms of engine noise, power delivery, etc...

Holy crap, that would be one expensive daily driver! Not sure how that would be more practical than an 8, but to each his own, I guess!

Wow, that's the funkiest way I've ever seen anyone spell "reliability"!

Ender, is 160hp the stock engine, or is that the higher-powered version? One of my neighbors has one, but I haven't taken the time to ask her about the ins and outs of it.

I wouldn't recommend a SUV for a car enthusiast, unless hauling big stuff is very important for you. You want a second car to be useful and comfortable and still look good besides your RX-8 right? I say RL or M35 would look good besides it.
