No, rx8 is perfect for you.

Contrary to popular myth, it is not about the "twisties". That foolish talk comes from people who never race anyway, who are those posers kidding. Not me.

The rx8 is at its best in the long straightaway. As in, 100 mile stretches of road. At normal elevations, rx8 is the best long distance commuter car.

Smoothest feeling, best mileage, best running reliability--those 3 are realized in the long, long distance drive.

Just keeps going and going, long as you stay out of the Colorado mountains 14,000 feet.

Driving through cornfields, deserts, mountain passes.. as long as its not snowing there's nothing better than rx8. It's more like a horse or airplane than car, at these distances.

 

They can be reliable if well taken care of I think...but not really. Nothing like a piston engine, lets all be honest with outselves. They break even if taken care of. I wouldnt recommend it for u

 

Logic is very often overrated.

I think someone who's had an MR2 (or any sports car) and still wants another sports car knows what they're doing...or at least what they want. And can do the math on mileage, etc. Very different from the common first posts that go "I just graduated from kindergarten and have have earned some money on my paper route. Is the RX-8 right for me?"

Yul probably gets "Get rid of that Japanese toy and buy a nice Aveo" all the time from his mother in law.

Thanks, I guess my best bet is to take the advice of getting a rageddy 4cylinder to drive for work and have fun with with the RX on the weekends
The reason i chose the RX8 is the wife was complaining that my next car should seat 4 people.

The only logical choice was an RX8, or Infinity G-35. The G-35's are unreasonably high priced IMO.

So i opted to the RX8

 

I traded in a 400HP Corvette and a 4.5L Q45 for a Prius & RX-8, can't win them all...
