macrosszero Turbocharged April 5, 2009 Share April 5, 2009 That's such a general question - what are you looking at? Performance - WRX (better 0-100 etc) Mod potential- WRX (turbocharged easier to up horsepower) Handling - RX8 (RWD chassis) Looks - RX8 (swoopy looks) Running cost - RX8 (lower road tax, cheaper to insure) Everyday usability- WRX (4 door saloon/hatch and size) So on and so forth. So it depends what you're looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cave Neutral Newbie April 5, 2009 Share April 5, 2009 Don forget that Rx8 Drink engine oil too. Every 2 weeks gotta top up. Its the rotary engine common thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged April 5, 2009 Share April 5, 2009 (edited) RX8 is expensive to maintain compared to a normal saloon car of course. But in this comparison its running costs is *probably* similar to a WRX, but without the 2.5 litre road tax and the exorbitantly high insurance caused by several high profile crashes involving this car. Some 2T mixed in with each tank of fuel helps with the oil burning. The current Renesis 13B should be better in this aspect than the old 13B engines found in the old RX7 series.

Yoongf 4th Gear April 5, 2009 Share April 5, 2009 Handling.. WRX is 4WD.. not too sure if RWD is better? WRX also got the AUTO version in the S-GT model. RX-8 is about $25K more than WRX. Is that a fair comparison? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyojin 1st Gear April 5, 2009 Share April 5, 2009 Any Bro konw which is better ? better in what sense? your question is too vague. what you are you looking for? performance? handling? road holding? fuel consumption? image? running costs? maintenance costs? reliability? aftermarket tuning? space? fans from both camps will tell you what they believe in, then there'll be the others who will throw in other cars - FD2R, FN2R, Evo X, R26. the possibilities are endless. if you are really interested in any of these cars, just go test drive and see which one you prefer.

Azarael Clutched April 5, 2009 Share April 5, 2009 this question is like asking do u think in singapore, it is bettter to eat chicken rice or eat hokkien mee better ? it is all up to the individual's preference. EAch has its own personality and quirks which would appeal to it's own fans. each car, if driven enthusicatically and mantained well , will reward both RX8 and WRX drivers with years of motoring pleasure ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
