Would you DD an RX-8?

How about a RSX-S? You can probably find a used one for 10K with 100K miles.

I agree with the mazda3 people! Its an awesome dd.

I sat in a new mazda3 w/ skyactive at the Dallas Auto Show over the weekend and was surprised at how great a value it is. 40 mpg on the highway i think, great interior (for the price) and probably still as fun to drive as my 2009 mazda3.

While I was there I also convinced the Subaru BRZ lady to let me under the ropes to sit in it and check out the engine bay. I may get one soon as a dd.

Ditto to that. Already gave my Subaru dealership a deposit. I'm number 7 of 8 preorders they were taking.

I guess if your main thing is street racing you might not be too happy but otherwise.. The MS3 is faster but that's where it ends. I'd go with the MX-5 as the RX-8 is quite a gas / oil hog

RX-8 has basically a 200 miles driving range, you will average 15-20 mpg at best...
