Default RX-8's gotta go

so what's gonna replace it

1. FC

2. Miata (pending i can fit in it, last time i was in one i did)

3. FD (with some work to make me fit)

4. WRX

all that matters is auto-x

miata and FC give me more money to spend on aftermarket, FD and WRX allow me only limited parts money

insurance rose to unreasonable level after the car came out and the car is too much compromise for me, god i love the engine but it's just not right for me

it's gotta do everything including daily driving, but comfort doesn't mean anything to me, it just needs heat and a cd player and 2 speakers to daily drivable

fD hard to find?

miata dirt cheap and handles well. it has your minimal requirements. if the engine blows up you can get a replacement for under $2K

the FD and FC I would say no to just because of reliability and maintanence issues.

I would say no to miatas purely because they are too small and I'm not a big fan of the plain styling.

WRX = good daily driver, decently reliable, probably still under warranty, turbo, AWD, 4 doors, and more.
