so a friend of mine has an rx8, and it needed a bunch of recalls. he went out of town for the holidays, so he gives me the key so i can drive it to work and get em all done. so i had the car for 2 weeks and about 800 miles. 
ive driven 1st gens for years, and the rx8 is like a gsl-se but better in almost every way. its got more power, it sounds better, its easy to get in and out of, the stereo is pretty good (its loud), and its yellow.
my gripe list is pretty short, you cant see **** all out the back, and its got a lot of road noise.
mpg is down about 2 mpg from the 1st gen, i got 18-20 in the rx8, gsl-se gets 20-22.
so in short, i loved it
