I don't see a point in a Caldina unless you need the extra space it provides. An Altezza is a comfortable car, and the advantage is that it has probably more space interior space than an RX-8 with conventional 4 doors as well.
The RX-8 would be my pick amongst the 3 though, as its a relatively new car with nice leather interior and sporty looks, a perfect chicks car. It isnt too fast in a straight line, but it handles pretty well and is overall very good bang for buck imo.
The downside to a DC5R is that being a type-r, it is probably subject to higher theft rates as compared to an RX-8. The recaro's, gearknob, badges and whatnot are all in high demand in the 2nd hand market. Although it is definitely a better driver's car as it is faster in every way, comfort is slightly sacrificed.
I guess what im trying to say is that if your sister is just looking for a reliable semi-sporty car to use daily, RX-8 is the pick. But if she values performance above all else, then go for the DC5R.
In the end, just get her to drive em before she makes her final decision :D

strongly agrees, test drive is most important before buying a car, must ask urself whats the purpose of u buying that car, how u gonna use it.
i do agree that most ppl who can afford n would like to buy or own an expensive sportscar whether he/she is a car enthusiast or just wanted the rare look of their vehicle with powerful engine would choose between Rx8 and 350z....
but.. why is it the S2K in malaysia have least of fame, compared to cars that have the same sporty look with equavalent prices...
can any RX8 or 350z owners and others gives their opinion on this? id really like to learn what does the S2K lacks.. for sure.. it does not have turbo... but what else is bad..

u really are a S2K hardcore aren't u? 
a good friend of mine drives a drooling modded dark grey S2K..and the 1st time I sat inside I didn't feel it had any lack at all it depends on personal perspective..

S2k is a vtec engine so u can expert when the power cme.
Rx8 is a very good car but u need some external cooling system due to malaysia weather is hot.
Caldina is too heavy n Altezza is so old de. If can why not u go for mark x.

yep..with the right combination of mods S2K will outrun all the 3 above in terms of sporty look..but not in it's stock condition..
the soft top has a function as magnet to attract chicks
I think many ppl don't look at the S2k because its not as easy to find compared to the RX8 or 350z, or at least I hardly come across one when I was shopping for a car. I hardly see one on the road, but everytime I spot one, it brings a smile to my face!
To see the potential of an S2k, follow what those guys over at bulletproof are doing with it.... amazing!

in stock form s2k also will out run rx8 edi....rx8 like other rotary engines...need high rev frequently to get rid of carbon build up....so he need 2 ask his sis 2 rev 7k rpm o for manual 9k rpm at least once o twice a week
its not bcoz of s2k vtec engine power delivery...its bcoz of it natural big bore short stroke which allow it 2 rev 9k rpm in stock std form...so it has low torque bit high rpm out put

8k in a rotary engine is very easy to achieve, trust me. Just press the oil pedal then it reached.
If u de-cat then u able to burn the car at the bck also.
