2004 rx8

[McBadass]

I'm thinkin about trading up from my MP5 to a 04 RX8. Found an 2004 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring with red leather interior for $13,994 with 65,661 miles. If you guys could tell me how this car handles, the pro's and con's, and ur opinion on should I get this car over a 2004 Audi TT 1.8T or 2004 Infiniti G35. thanks

pro the car handles great from what I understand and looks good... cons full sieze truck like gas mileage on the rx8

Go with the RX8 or the G35, Yes the RX8 doesn't have the best gas milage, but it does handle great & has potential. The G35 look great, have plenty of potential & come with a great motor. THe Audi TT 1.8, HMMM well i like Audi's but hate the TT's. Screw the TT and get a S4.

G35 is good for some good power but its a heavy car and doesn't handle nearly as well as a rx8...the tt, well the interior is tiny compared to the rx8 and g35 and I can assume the rx8 out handles it and may even be a bit faster out of the box (the 1.8t can be upgraded with more power easier though)

I also wouldn't say a rx8 has full size truck gas mileage, it get 21+ mpg if you don't drive it with your foot in it every where.

Also if you are considering an 04 or 05 check the service/ warranty history

LOL!


regarding 8 or G35/37..

If you are looking for a potential track/street, RX8..

If you are looking for comfortable, reliable, good looking car, G35/37.. I'm actually thinking about selling my 8 for a 35 or wait a year or two for a used 37coupe.

Ya I haven't driven an g35 yet but it's on my list. Found an 8 for $8500 wit 90k mileS tho with the 2 tone leather interior and red exterior. Test driving that one today to see how ducked up it is

Sounds like my story. Ended up with the 8 because I love it!
