This is a fun car to drive. It loves to go fast.

This is a great car to drive. Black leather seats all around. Front bucket seats with built in heat for cold days. Has extra storage and plugs to charge up your phone even in the back seats. Has plenty of leg room and is a 4 door. This car is so smart, it'll tell you if your running low of air in the tires. All my friends like to drive it too.

Fun, quick, and pretty

My RX8 was one of the best cars I have ever owned, and the one I have owned the longest. It's fun to drive with quick pick-up and great handling. It looks cool and has been reliable.

This car is awesome to drive!

This is a really fun car to drive. The rotary 6 speed engine winds out with a beautiful sports car sound. It corners like no other I've driven and you feel pasted in your bucket seat when you take a corner at speed! Love this car!

Rotary Sound is Awesome

A true enthusiast car. Not for everyone(consumes oil, bad gas mileage) Most fun car I have ever driven, Very affordable sports car. My only regret was getting rid of it. I want another one.
