I'm a new driver and I was thinking about picking up a 2005 pre-owned RX-8. I am getting my license in a few weeks so I am not able to test drive it yet but I'm doing a lot of research. I was just wondering if anyone had a coles notes list of pros and cons with the RX-8. From what I've seen, my list consists of...
Pros
- Great looks. 2nd nicest looking car, next to the Genesis Coupe.
- Affordable. I can pick up a 2005 Automatic w/ leather for under 20k $CAN.
- 4 door coupe.
Cons
- Very bad on gas.
That's all I know so far. If anyone has ANY insight it'd be much appreciated. Does the engine make a ton of noise on the highway or at other times? Is it small/cramped during long trips? Is the low torque an issue? Anything else I should be worried about? What else is good about the 2005 RX-8 besides what I mentioned?
Thank you
