  • :S well i think i'll never get the chance to ever experience the rx-8 !! grown to love it.... what a loss

  • Good review, I will sub to you guys......

  • rx8 doesnt stop because of low sales ffs...they stop selling them all over the world not just US, and thats purely because of emissions limitations...the Wankel engine just cant pass the emissions limits and the new Euro5 and Euro6 limitations

  • I love my 08 rx8 40thanv. It's a pure joy car, it handles anything you throw at it! Sticks to the road, hugs the corners so well.

    I love these decals on this rx8, I think I will find them!

  • These cars deserves such an impressive speech like this

    We all will miss them

  • @Afterburner289 I'm talking about the Lotus Elise (with the hard top or soft top on), not the Rx8. I have the lotus.

  • @KeleentProductions I've got an RX-8 with the sunroof which takes another inch or two of headroom and I'm 6'3. I can confirm tall people fit in the car perfectly fine and comfortably as well. No problem getting in or out at all and I can even fit in the back with decent room if the seats are scooted up a few inches. Absolutely love the car, don't know how I'll ever part with it.

  • @TheChimbleySweep lol.. well even at 6'1 you could fit in . There is a lot of head room . I know a few guys who are 6'3 and are comfortable. Getting in and out is probably the hardest thing to do at that height though.. but you get used to it and it's not even that bad.

  • @KeleentProductions Well, thank god. I would never want somebody on the internet thinking I'm a moron.

    But seriously, I love the Lotus as well as the RX8, but I'm 6' 1" and it looks pretty damn cramped.

  • I bought one of the last of the RX8s. All it needs is about 400 lbs. shorn off. Who wouldn't love a 2000 lb. Elise? If only it weren't claustrophobic inside. Even my brother, who is 5' 11" and 165 said get me outta this thing.
