Yep. I'm going to test drive an RX-8 for s**ts and giggles; but I already know the outcome. I'm not going to buy a Mazda. If I were going to, it would be Miata as that's what we campaign in AutoX CSP right now.
An RX-8 gets crap for gas mileage even though it fits me like a glove, the feel of the clutch, etc. I raced one in 2004 briefly and really liked it. It's insurance is cheap because it can be classed as a "4 door;" but it's gas mileage sucks and it burns oil.
I'm all about RWD; but I don't really like anything that is a roadster, as a roadster is not practical for my ideal daily.
An IS I've considered because it's RWD but it's a lead sled. So, this brings me back to the TSX and RSX, with the Accord not being excluded completely.
