If you love the nimble, responsive handling of the Miata, but want something faster and with room for four adults, the RX-8 may win you over.
If you’re looking for a low-involvement sports car (which is, to a certain extent, an unreasonable expectation), the RX-8’s rotary engine, with its occasional fuel consumption issues and short-at-the-bottom torque curve, may not be to your liking. The compact rotary engine delivers its torque high in the rpm band, meaning you have to run the revs high when passing or accelerating.
