I think you should do the poll in between toyota prius, lexus ct200h, honda insight and crz lah.... more comparative . Btw, my suggestion will be CRZ...

Like compare Apple & Orange right?
;)

Why compare crz with rx8?

Rx8 been around quite sometime redi..

I love both cars

 

[kangyoon20]

I like RX8 for the looks and performance
but no to its FC and potential high maintenance

since I have another B16A for hardcore drive
i get a CR-Z for leisure weekend ride..

Realistically, you are better off with the crz. This is because RX8 suffers from a lot of problems such as electic power steering failure, in which case the steering will decide to turn the car by itself and leave you fighting to keep it in the direction you want it to go. Another problem is the secondary air pump failure, which causes the CEL to come on.

I was just the same last time & never think outside of the box.
Got extra cash to spend?

Go for a Volkswagen...
Don't go for POLO. It's too small... Go for Jetta, Golf.
It's 1.4TSI. That's a twin charged engine. 5 years warranty.

Go for a test drive & U when test it U don't have to be kind to the car.
Pick route that U try out. Ask the salesman if it's okay. Best to have a stopping point in between. Eg: Toll
Drive "D" gears to the toll house & after paying toll shift to "S".

When U comes down surely U'll pull out ur cheque book.
After U've got the car & if you're really a speed devil then join & read at Audi & VW mods forums... plenty of it.
Safety comes 1st... If you're playing with this kind of cars.

I own a VW Jetta only, if you're coming from behind car would mostly give way to U.
In a CIVIC even a FD2R... Most drivers just sees it as a Japanese car.

Something to poison U, compare the specs:
FD2R: FD2 Honda Civic Type R Specs
1.4TSI Golf/Jetta: Prices & Technical Specifications > Price and Tech Specs > Jetta > Models > Volkswagen Malaysia
Mazda 8: http://www.mazda.com.my/getdoc/d0d7c688-f553-404c-8a79-0d5f68bd4cef/RX-8.aspx

***U gotto do abit of math to get the accurate count
U comparing CR-Z in the list ar... Wanna smell smoke also "E-LEK PHOR CHIK"

1 good thing about VW is that there's alot of stuffs that's plug & play.
Buy it plug & use it till U are driving it into a service center. Just find a regular repair shop to replace all the parts before driving into a service center. Bro... service is 15k once only... YUP... 15k.
