2004 RX-8 vs 2004 S2X00...

 

Test drive both. You really can't make a choice without first test driving them both. Then look at factors like, do you want a back seat or a convertible

 

That's an easy no brainer for me. I'll take the driver's car please.

 

rx8 looks good, except for the rear windshield portion of the car. I choose S2000, but then again, I'm biased.

 

i liked the old rx7 a lot... not sure i'm too thrilled about the new rx8 with the suicide doors. Sports cars should have 2 seats.

 

I also don;t like the RX-8, the lines are not as clean as I thought and the look is totally different with the S. It following the path of the Saturn. The S is 2dr. 2 seater and convertible, but the RX-8 is none of those.

 

The S2000 already beats the RX-8 in performace, so the S2X00 is going to really kick it's butt. Plus the RX-8 is still a Mazda and has an engine that hasn't really been tested and has a history of mechanical failures. Then you don't have a convertible top in the RX-8 which really sucks.

 

I took a ride in a RX8 with a factory driver at Mazda Rev it up. The car had 4 people in it and it was still really fast. It did seem a little more loose in the turns. They are both good cars, but I still like the S2000 better. I don't care for the front fenders on the RX8. It would be nice to carry 3 passengers though.

 

Kind of hard to compare the RX8 with something that doesn't exist yet, at least not for most of us.

 

four door, four seat, fixed roof sport sedan VERSUS a two door, two seat convertible sports car. where's the comparison?????????
