RX-8 Best Cars Under $20K (C+D)
Link
When Mazda introduced the RX-8 for 2004, brand purists feared that the insertion of back seats would mark the beginning of the end of rotary-powered sportiness. In fact, those loyalists had nothing to fear: The car turned out to be amazing to drive, and its four-place configuration gave the RX-8 one of the most practical cabins of any sports car. With two comparison-test victories and three 10Best awards, the RX-8 is a perennial C/D favorite. And as it turns out, used examples are shockingly affordable.

I agree with C&D's overall opinion of the RX-8 completely. That describes the car I bought, drive and enjoy. (Even though it doesn't describe most of the RX-8s you read about on here, for some reason.)

Well, if you want to buy new, the "affordable" sports car segment is pretty much dead, so the next best thing is a used one. It's good the 8 made the list. Look at some of these newer loaded vehicles such as the 370Z, Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger...now they all top out at over 40K, which is ridiculous.
I know people complain about depreciation on the 8, but relative to any other sporty/sports car I don't think the 8 is any worse than anything else out there.

Z's, Mustangs and Camaros aren't getting the kinds of discounts, because those cars sell themselves.
