I want the rx8 but my wife refuses due to rear wheel drive... is the 6 the same?

I am being offered a 2005 sport sedan, sticker at 27,780 (leather, moonroof etc) for 22,750 is this good?

Well maybe you should just buy the RX8 and refuse to let her drive it. What is wrong with rear wheel drive that is a pretty bad excuse for not buying the car you want. If she didn't agree with a rotary i would understand.

^^^ I would agree with you but if he wants to keep getting laid and not end up sleeping on the couch. He better go with the Mazda6. I think that is a great deal btw. Lots of mods out there for this car now.

Well I did have an rx8 on order in the uk at $48,000... we live in Mass now, so everyone here is telling us not to buy rear wheel drive due to snow... girls.

As above, I am whipped, but for an easy life the 6 isnt a bad car... we dont even get a v6 in the uk, so I was pretty pleased on the test drive.

The car is Lapis blue, leather pack, moonroof/bose pack, and 6-speed auto and I pick it up tomorrow...

That seems like a decent deal, my '04 6S 5Door msrp was $28,500, paid $22,900 at Quirk in Quincy, MA last Nov. If you'll be driving a lot on Mass. winters (I live there) the 6 is a better choice. Not bad in the snow even w/the 17" low profiles. And, you keep the 'lil lady happy- nothing worse than a cold New England winter with no nooky!

there are 3 things you dont mess with:

A Mans Car
A Mans TV Remote
A Mans Beer

Just tell her your buying the rx8 and if she gets lippy...then tell her once you get the rx8 you will trade "her" in for a newer model!lol
