Not to mention a usable back seat. In fact I loved everything about the RX-8 except when I was on the interstate, I pushed the gas and it just didn't go like the crossfire did. Which is something I could live with. Hell, I don't need to be doing over 80 anyway. Everything else was great, the steering was tight and very responsive. Plenty of power up to 80.
So you all might be thinking well I guess Nick (13dog) is going to get an RX instead of another Crossfire, well that's where I start having issues. I love the Crossfire Family, the Get togethers, the cruises, and the feeling of driving something special.
Other than that I'd go with the RX, see I'm back and forth again.
There are two things about the RX8 I like:

1. The rotary engine. It's very, very small and so the engine compartment has tons of room.
2. The rear seats.

Other than that, it's all just personal preference.
