Lil Sang, it sure seems like you are really talking about a lot of different cars. What do you want out of your car? What do you like about driving.
Do you want to go fast from point A to point B? Go DOMESTIC
Do you want to have tight turns and hug corners and feel the car working for you? Go RWD
Do you want a very responsive car in all gears? Go rotary
Now, I know that some people don't get the Mazda thing. But here goes, go test drive a Mustang, Miata, and an RX-8 and tell us what you think. I would be interested to hear what you thought after driving each car.
I love the handling of the Miata and the turbo on the high speeds but I was missing action in the low gears. Some guys can't hang, but they are the same guys that wouldn't dig the S2000. The Miata is fantastic for being one with your car, you can feel everything in it. This is probably one of the reasons our RX-7 brothers in here are so crazy about their 7s. Its a Mazda thing.
I chose the RX-8 because I do a lot of driving and the rotarty is very responsive to my requests for speed in the low gears as well as the high gears. It isn't as glove like feeling as the Miata, but I think it is more fun to drive for daily driving.
