    the gas mileage is kinda a non-issue cause honestly they both suck lol.

    RX-8 is 16/22
    S2k is 17/23

    as far as handling is concerned, they both handle beautifully and they both have 50:50 weight distribution.

    One thing that might be a factor is for some reason I think the RX-8 would be cheaper to insure... not sure about that though.

    damn,didnt know s2k was that bad,i know id deff get a MR-S or Miata over it for roadster now

    but if ur looking at RX-8s,make sure u get the 6speed,it makes 237hp compared to the 185hp 5speed..........ive had a RX-7,and when taken care of the engine is so fun to drive.........and i dont like hondas really at all,so im pretty biased
