Hi

I have a 2001 Civic type R with 120,000 miles on it..I love it to bits
Im into performance (within cost reson and affordable insurance)

The thing that stopped me from getting an RX-8 before was me thinking they were really expensive but just found out they are really not.

My type R is around 200bhp The rx8 is around 230bhp
both do 0-60 in around 6.3
But i have always liked the look of the RX8
But then again i like the look of the civic....ahh i dont know!
My brother said he has had a race with one before in his 2 litre astra and won, and my civic is faster than the astra?
But then again its not all about being fast...Only sometimes

My insurance will be a little cheaper with rx8 also.

I have seen people write stuff about the rx8 saying dont bother if you know nothing about rotary engines (which i dont) because they are a pain to look after etc

I just dont know
Keep the high miled 2001 civic which ive had for only 5 months and i have spent money on visual upgrades
or sell and buy 2004 mazda rx8...which would you prefer
