"this car is a perfect companion for the average japanese car lover. its got a ton of safety features, some that can be disabled with a push of a button for more of a rush. i leased one for a year, and i literally fell in love with it. after a snow storm, i drove it to a parking lot with a few inches of snow and it swerved a bit, but what do u expect from a sports car? my rx-8 had a auto/manual capability, which i didnt use cause i dont know how to drive stick. the car went from 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds, and the growl of the engine gives u an adrenaline rush, despite its being japanese. the speed combined with its elegant, yet sporty look is a perfect combination."

"One word sums up this sports car: BALANCED. If you buy a car based on numbers, look elsewhere. This is a car that you acquire by feel. There are faster and "grippier" cars, but you'd be hard pressed to find a car that makes fast driving so effortless and mistakes so recoverable. Its performance can hang with the some of the best and still bring home a respectable load of cargo from Costco with the spouse and kids on board. It's the civilized sports car. Oh, and there's no engine like a rotary, which endows the car the characteristics of a jet airplane, like the smooth authoritative surge during a jet's takeoff, as well as the jet-like whine of the motor. It's quite euphoric. Did I mention the effortless 9000 RPM redline?"
