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.Pentax K20D | Pentax DA18-55 WR | Sigma 70-300 DL Macro Super -
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...-Zeypi / CX777 - Cathay Pacific VA Junior First Officer

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
)

RX-8 MT is $27k

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^----raveing lunatic
please excuse my horendus mangeling of the english language, its only my first :PComment
