They seat 4 people simi comfortably, handles AWESOME, very well engineered car. If you look back Mazda has never made FAST cars so to speak. 14.5 with only 170rwhp isn't very shabby if you ask me. The rx8 was NOT designed to replace the rx7. For what mazda intended the rx8 to be its a nice car. If I had kids and needed a functional back seat and didn't need a lot of power I would so rock a rx8.

I like the Rx 8 but the 3rd gen Rx 7 will always be first in my eyes for the Mazda line

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

the rx-8 in a staight line is slow, but put that car in its elements, like daily driving and it is the best bang for the buck.

It's a nice inexpensive sporty car that can seat four.

It is the most practical sports car for its price hands down.... The only reason the GTO dosent beat it is because of lack of satelite navigation....

They both have large rear seats, huge trunks, but sporty drives and decent power.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if i had the money
