Buying Tips:
The RX-8 is the rare case where TheCarConnection.com thinks that you should go for the top trim. The race-ready 2010 RX-8 R3 runs only about $5,500 more than a base RX-8 but includes way more than that in equipment upgrades if you were to buy and install them separately.

its a nice lookin car with satisfying interior. nothing really pops up at you in this car but i’m used to driving porches and bmw’s and some aston’s.
its a little jerky when you go around sharp turns. the cars braking and acceleration don’t really respond as quick as i would like them to though.

Jacky, are you serious, you are comparing the fantastic RX-8 to a Porsche an Aston and BMW, cars that are 3 times the price??…Why did you bother???…
Bad Brakes??, the RX-8 actually rates in the TOP TEN at number 10 for Stopping Distance at 100 MPH, all the others in front of it are Exotics, Ferrari’s, Maserati, Zonda, ZR1.
What do you expect from a 1.3 litre NA Rotary?.
Have you really driven this car?
