This was on my shortlist, but the mrs thought it too fugly.
I doubt the fuel economy would have been any better than the RX8.

My Ecutek remapped STI was doing 25mpg on a work run and 30mpg on a long run. 340bhp and 320/Torque.

If there anything like an RX7 expect a rebuild at x miles, no i havent driven one or sat inside one 
.
I will say they 'used' to look great but somewhat a little dated now, the back end is still relatively nice but i dont like the front.
About 4 years ago i did toy with the idea of getting one.
Much room in the back though?

I test drove one once, the high power model of course.
Nice enough to drive but the engine was so linear in its delivery I found it felt very flat and uninvolving.
For me, if I were spending 8k on a car to cart the kids about and have fun it would have to be a scooby and who cares about the image, it's the best car out there to do that - ask MarkB

I had an rx8 a couple of years ago...
Wasnt particularly quick, went through TONS of fuel, went through TONS of oil, was ok to look at. got bored of it very quickly.
Far better cars out there for the money
