    what type of car do you want? the mazda6i is a sporty FWD sedan, geared more for being a a fun to drive family toter than for all-out performance. the RX-8 is a full blown RWD sports car. if it were me, I'd go for the RX-8 with the 6-speed manual.

      i like the rx-8 coz it fits my lifestyle(and so does the 6i)... and id like a MT car... but the rx-8's MT is much expensive than the AT version...

          the mazda6i is more practical but the RX-8 is a pretty nice sports car.

            i agree with you on that !!
            the RX is so unlike the "others" ,, revolutionary i may say !

            here's the specs for the 6-speeder

                Go for the RX-8, that 1.3L 231 Bhp renesis motor is really great fun to drive
                (Or, if you can find one, the RX-7 twin turbo )

                  238, actually...still, that's 240hp from a 1.3L

                    RX-8 AT is $25k (msrp)
                    RX-8 MT is $27k

                    both are base models

                    its weird... usually, ATs cost more than MTs...

                      yes, the wankal kicks ass, however, it, while much more powerfull for its weight, is not as fuel efficiant as most normal engines(it fits between a 2 and 4 stroke, however, the renisis is quite good).

                      for what little i know, go with the RX-8
