When I think of Lisbon Portugal, I think of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.......narrow streets, limited parking, aggressive drivers, smaller car the better, expect door dings and scratches and handprints and fender benders.
I would never drive an RX8 in a small town like San Miguel, a small town, I would get a disposable and reliable no-frills car, so I would think a big town like Lisbon the conditions would be similar.

Whhops.....just noticed you found one. Regarding my last comment, just be carefull driving in central Lisbon.
When I drove my Expedition down to San Miguel, in the central district a lot of the itty bitty 4 cylynder economy car drivers apparently didn't appreciate my biggie taking up all that space.....I got more fender rubs and door dings in 10 days than I have here in 5 years, so just be carefull parking that beautiful new car down there, some people just get jealous.

Lol just had to comment this. I live in Norway and guess what we gotta pay for a new Rx-8 here? :D Cheapest 192 hp version for around 81 000 euro or 115 000 USD. And that's calculated with the current lowass dollar O_O The cheapest used ones starts from around 53 000 USD and 38 000 euro. Importing one would be even more expensive due to the unimaginable high taxes lol. Be lucky that most of you guys live in the US ^^

Guys really
Don't baffle the poor guy, i really wanted a 231 but a cheap 192 came up. I drove it and enjoyed the drive so i had that instead of a 231. After being in a friends 231 I noticed very little difference and that my 192 with the better ratios was faster mid range and overtaking! Just some food for thought.
