Thinking of buyin an RX-8

Hi all

Well im thinking of buyin an RX-8 . There are apparently two motor alts avail, the small one with 190ish and the big one with 230ish

Only driven the 230ish for a short while and was quite impressed, anyone know how different the 190ish is?

make sense, you must.


my GUESS is you are comparing AT vs. the MT. If that is the case. get MT and continue to post, get AT and I suggest discontinuing posting.

Please give us some more information about yourself what what you're looking for.

He could be outside the US, where there are two versions of the Renisis available (like in the UK).

bigger is better.

The questions you must ask yourself is "will the extra hp and 6th gear be worth the added cost?"

Hi

Well what im looking for in the car is the sportcar feeling really, which i guess u get in both engine choices really. Read somewhere that the bigger engine is really only different in the high end revs. havent been able to test drive a car with the lesser engine coz they are just to far away from where i live
