I took one of the 225ps ones for a spin. I thought it was a nice car. Well spec'd interior, quite nice handling, decent space inside.

 

Any car that has a digital speedo, 10k rpm counter, rear wheel drive with LSD and over 220hp is pretty cool in my book. Just make sure the front splitter gets colour coded, makes the car look much lower and gives it a better stance.

 

Thirsty though!

Next door neighbour has one - must say she looks quite good in it, and my neice is considering one .

I have heard they are quite thirsty - plenty of second hand ones with low milage on the market, got to ask yourself why....

I think they are just a wee bit on the girlie blue rinse side of the boarder for me - I would perhaps consider a real four door saloon with a turbo or two and four wheel drive. :eyebrows: only for real use when the wee one is at the grandparents, of course!

I didn't like them when I first saw them

 

Then a friend at work got one, he had it a couple of years and took me out in it just before he sold it.

 

Although it handled quite well the car felt all rather plastic and flimsey.

 

The sound of the engine is crap. Whilst it is impressive that it revs to like 10k or something, you could tell it had very little torque and even at the red line it wasn't especially fast.

 

overall, very average I thought, not really a successor to the rx7, the rx8 will be soon forgotten
