BMW: Comparison: 330 vs RX-8

I sat in an RX-8 for a few minutes and I was not too impresed by the
interior. The suicidal rear door is nice, but a longer front door could
have done the same to allow access to the rear seats. I am 5'11" and when I
adjusted the front seat to feel comfortably there was absolutely no space in
the back. In a 330 coupe there is about 6" of space in the back.
Materials, fit and finish are above Japanese average, but still cannot
compare to a BMW.

The style of the RX-8 is a bit too agressive for my conservative taste. It
is apparently designed to appeal to young drivers (25 and younger)

Unfortunately the dealership did not let me drive one, but I will try again
a when they get a few more on the lot.

What will make the RX-8 a good buy is its handling on the curves and its
lower price to purchase and maintain. A BMW becomes really expensive after
3 years.

If you are looking for a car just for commuting or fun, RX-8 seems to be a
good candidate. If you are looking for a serious car all around, a car that
you will fall in love with and never will want to give up, the 3 is for you.
