i am in the market for a small fun somewhat practical car. I already have a large family SUV for family trips. I have thrree small children and *sometimes* I take/pickup one or two at school...so an MS3 or RX8 would fit my needs. i test drove the 8 and while it was nto the fastest car i've ever driven...i got to take it on some twisty road sections and WOW. it was VERY much like a boxster I have driven before. i was very impressed with the handling, the high redline, and the FUN factor. total blast to drive. for those of you who have driven BOTH the MS3 and RX8....which is more FUN.

Replying to: 23109vc (Apr 05, 2007 5:58 am) Define "FUN". My point is that what I, or you, or any number of other folks will think is "fun" (or, which is more "fun") is completely subjective. My advice - find a dealer with both RX8's and Speed3's on the lot and do back to back test drives. The 8 will excel in handling over the Speed3 (simply due, IMO, to it's RWD layout). But the Speed3 will be better from a shear grunt (torque - woo hoo!!) aspect. Which is more 'fun' is ultimately up to the potential buyer. Go have fun.....

| I just bought a black Speed 3 GT with Nav for $99 over invoice. The first dealer wanted $4k over MSRP and wouldn't honor S-Plan. So I drove 15 miles down the road to the next dealer and they were willing to sell it for the S-Plan price. | |

Replying to: smogdung (Apr 19, 2007 1:54 am) Two questions: 1)I would "assume" they'll continue making this car as a limited production vehicle in '08. Can anyone confirm? (my lease on my current ride isn't up until 1/25/08) 2) Why is the hood so heavy on this car? Crash test purposes?
