rx-8 cheaper to maintain meh its even more difficult leh coz its rotary nt many mech in sg r pro in such engines and i don think its lower in fuel comsumption juz bcoz its a 1.3litre car it drinks like the big bros like rex and evo but maybe juz slightly better as for mod yeah its realli a headache. 18inch does nt proof it will hav gd grip on the rd it depends veri much on the tyres u r usin. any car can fit 18" but ur tyre is those cheapo type hw hee hee i will go for evo anytime tons of mod mech familiar wif the car hee heeOriginally posted by Goodeal:Making a comparison .
Which one would you prefer in sg road?
My take: i would prefer RX-8.
Reasons: more comfortable ride, cheaper maintainance, lower fuel consumption, cheap road tax, look stylo like a coupe(it is a coupe with hidden doors), good grip with 18" for the type-s.
Downside: die die only 4 person can sit. no room to squeeze. legally it already max out that only 4 can sit in a car with belts on. illegally any car can squeeze in at least 6 easily.
RX8 advantage - 1.3 l lower road, very quiet, almost vibration-less compare to piston engine. Very sport and it turns head. Interior styling is very nice. Cheaper than STI or Evo.Originally posted by Goodeal:come on fellows...
u r all flowing off track...
i am talking about the ideal car on sg road
so we will compare stocks to stocks
if the car modify here modify there...lose purpose already
i am talking about practicability here
RX-8 greatly improved its fuel economy. definately save more fuel than evo or wrx sti.
i dont remember the litre per 100 km thing
those interested can check it out in the internet...i am lazy![]()
RX-8 too softly set up to be truely sporty.Originally posted by Dutch:RX8 advantage - 1.3 l lower road, very quiet, almost vibration-less compare to piston engine. Very sport and it turns head. Interior styling is very nice. Cheaper than STI or Evo.
Disadvantage - small, lack of power compare to STI and WRX. High fuel consumption (rotary engine). Lack of turbo like RX7. Very un-moddable.
Bro...comparing Rx-8 to EVOs n Rex...i rather take EVOs and Rexs coz for RX-8 the fuel comsumption is high as it is using a rotary engine. Rotary engine consumes alot of petrol. Rx-8 is a non-turbo yet it has 220bhp...imagine how much petrol u gonna use to have tat power... rx-8 is for those with really deep pockets.but its a nice car comparing it to evo or rex. I still prefer FD3s(Rx-7) - more power and worth the petrol consumption coz its turbocharged!Originally posted by Goodeal:come on fellows...

i own a real EVO7 engine. does that count?Originally posted by GZai:Heh perhaps it'd be more appropriate to ask ppl who actually OWN and DRIVE these cars for their opinions since you are talking about Singapore.

If you already drove these monsters before i think we are eligible to put up our opinion. Nothing wrong to talk also...not offending ppl what...Originally posted by GZai:Heh perhaps it'd be more appropriate to ask ppl who actually OWN and DRIVE these cars for their opinions since you are talking about Singapore.

WELL SAID BROTHER!!!Originally posted by zeus83:but if you ask me, i'd prefer to have a skyline.![]()
hehe...i guess i have to agree with ya.Originally posted by zeus83:but if you ask me, i'd prefer to have a skyline.![]()
Originally posted by zeus83:rx8: like a bmw, but with more power, higher fuel consumption.
wrx: It's the new honda civic. i see wrxes everywhere now. latest trend. Nice interior.
evo8: Exclusive sports car.
Among these three cars, i find the rex as neutral, and the best all round car here. while the evo is a mean performance machine. And the rx8 is like inbetween a performance car and a sports sedan.
but if you ask me, i'd prefer to have a skyline.![]()
