Re: 350Z vs RX8
I'd rather have the RX-8. It's cheaper, it seats four fairly comfortably, it's lighter (and therefore handles better, although the Z is no slouch at handling), and it's unique. So what if it lacks power, it's fun to drive

Re: 350Z vs RX8
Yeah, it's pretty unique in the styling and platform department, but c'mon, the RX-8 has a rotary engine. How many of those do you see on the road? Almost none.
I know you're probably gonna buy a 350Z soon, and I'm not trying to dissuade you from the 350Z, I'd just prefer the RX-8. |

although noted 18 mpg from rx-8, during traffic, it's a heavy gass guzzler compared to z. and the break-in period in rx-8 is tedious. also not as decent looking as z IMO.... and 4 doors sports car?? and from what I heard, low torque in the low-end. but uncommon and different? definitely. 160 lbs lighter than z hatchback.
if you're getting Z, i'd recommend track if you're going for hatchback, otherwise get the convertible, they're all 2 seaters anyway.

Re: 350Z vs RX8
RX8. It's more comfortable than the Z, more practical, lighter, easier to drive and much more original than the Z.
So definitely the RX8.

more comfortable how? Yeah extra seats but anything else? Seat wise i mean... Lighter or not the car is STILL slower than the Z so it will need much more than weight excuse to compare against the 350Z. And last question. Is it REALLY easier to drive? give me some specs cus i havent test drove the RX-8 yet and would like some info on it. Thanks and i appreciate it. |

^Not appealing to me I would never buy a convertible sports car if a hardtop version of the same car existed anyway... a hardtop car is just sportier. |

This pretty much proves it you are Clarkson. Should I do a traceroute to see if you are posting from england or are you tunelling trough a non-transparent italian proxy?

Re: 350Z vs RX8
Well I think Mazda really dropped the ball on the RX-8. The thing should not have 4 doors and they should have had the option of a turbo....Period I'll take the 350Z in a heartbeat.
