Summary
What does this car say about you?
Different, not a sheep
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Love it but wouldn't want to own one due to the costs
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, for an average of 18mpg at best and £435 tax I would want something more powerful. However well the RX8 handles, driving on normal UK roads this car is underpowered, with similar acceleration to a Type R or Clio 182. For the cost, that's not good enough
What are you likely to buy next?
BMW 330d
