2005 Mazda RX-8 6-Speed

Pros

Great looking sleek design really turns heads. Also very reasonably priced.

Cons

Lower fuel economy than anticipated. Horrible in snowy winter weather.

I went and bought my RX8 the day after Christmas and it has definitely been the best present I've ever gotten myself. I absolutely love to drive this car. I went with the sunlight silver with the black/red leather interior, by far my favorite and I get so many comments on how great the interior looks with the red. I got my RX8 fully loaded with about every option known and still was under $36,000. This car is a real head turner, but while its turning heads I am able to whip them right back as you blow by them. The only downfall to owning this car is that I is horrible to drive in winter conditions. With no weight, rear wheel drive and 18" tires its like being on a sled in snow and ice, you just have to hold on and hope for the best. Luckily I have another car that I use during the winter season and I would suggest to anyone thinking of purchasing an RX8 in the north to strongly consider owning another car to drive during the winter months. I mean the car is too good looking to risk dinging the body due to bad conditions.
