well, i'm looking to get a new car in the next year maybe a year and a half...depending on my college situation.....i'm looking into the rx8 and the srt4, but all i have seen so far is negative comments about the rx8 from the owners...anyone have anything good to say about it?

It has a Rotary Engine 
Other then that...not worth the money. But I am super picky when it comes to cars, and I have never driven one. Sat in it, turned it on, and played with the buttons. Thats about it!

I've been using mine as a daily driver for 7 weeks now and love the damn thing. Never owned anything bigger than a shitty 4 cylinder before though so it's not like I have huge knowledge of high performance cars.

I've driven the RX8 and own a third generation RX7.
My impression:
Styling and looks aside...
Besides not having nearly as much power (to be fair my RX7 puts out 315rwhp) the RX8 seems better in every other way. Great ride and handling, quiet, practical and still pretty quick.

Bought mine in September... AND LOVE IT! Still have the RX-7 too. Will probably sell it eventually. Just couldn't think of giving it to the dealer for nothing and letting him make a big profit after taking over $30k from me on the new sale....
