I need a new car and it is down to these two. A 2006 Speed6 Sport with 25k miles or a 2009 RX-8 GT manual with the premium package. Both are red. I would buy the 6 or lease the 8 and they come to about the same payment. Any ideas?

MS6, but I am biased towards forced induction and AWD. There's a red MS6 GT in my town for sale (Loveland). Has 32k on the ticker, and the guy only has $14,500 into it. You could get it from him cheap. Pics of it are in my album...

What will you be using it for? That makes all the diferance.

Yeah, this is pretty wide open. It's like someone asking to help you pick between a crotch rocket, a Civic hybrid, an F-350 diesel, Honda Odyssey minivan, a Porsche 911 and a Crown Victoria.

I work at a Mazda Store and have the MS6 here that I would buy. But thanks.

I have no kids just a wife with a small dog. And I work at a car dealer so durring the winter I could always take a SUV home if I had to, so the AWD would be nice but RWD is more fun.

I would go with the RX-8.

RX-8, if I had nobody else to worry about.

Get a used Miata for 3k, spend 15k in mods.
Best of both worlds!

In Colorado weather, the Speed 6 will serve you better.

Oh tough choice! Both are such awesome cars! What color is the 8 your looking at?

Haha Anh...


I dunno depends if you want something fast or something that handles really good.

With $15K in mods in a Miata, if you spent it right, it would handle really well and be plenty fast.

I'm thinking the 6. But just found some damage to the front end, but no big deal its on its way to my body shop now.
