hi all..well this is my first thread and i hope u answer my question..im mad about the s2k and i intend to buy it.but im gonna buy it in the middle of the next year.the question is should i buy the s2000 or buy the rotor engine legend mazda rx8? i live in kuwait and it (the rx8) will be able for sell in kuwait in 2003.

 

Those two engines pretty much perform the same....... hp #, torque #, and redline....

I would get the S2000, since it's been around for 3 yrs. Most of the bugs have been fixed.... Besides, a convertible is more fun!


Unless you really need the back seats, I wouldn't get the RX8.

 

I don't like the way the rx-8 looks, a little too funky.

 

i like the RX8, but without a turbo renesis motor...i am not satisfied. If it were turbo, then i would say rx8, but the way things stand...S2k.

Really depends on whether you need a backseat or not, and if you want a convertible (or not).

 

S2000

 

i agree..but im not sure how much backseat room rx8 has..and u dont really need backseat..
no matter what i will choose S2000~

 

thanx alot for your replyies and i think olso the s2000 is a better choice for me and i wanted someone to keep me in my way of thinking..and you helped me do that.

 

Ya, the S2K has only room for fun. Not even romotely practical. If you need more space, the RX8 at least pretends to be more cargo oriented.

 

More space in the back than the outgoing Mazda 626. Impressive considering the RX-8 is almost exactly the same size as a Protege, except lower, and a bit wider.
