I dont like either car.

 

Whats wrong with the S2k? Its like the #1 car in one of the Top Gear polls (for like the last 3 years)

 

 

Truth be told, a civic w a S2k engine handles better than the S2k itself. Anyway, I still like it.

 

i will probably get my new shiny mod badge taken from me for this...but im sad that the RX8 lost. ive driven one. hella nice car. i learned stick on my dads RX7 and it starts to get shaky at 70 and i wont dare take it over 90 (the thing is shaped like a wing and weighs less than most civics). i thought the RX8 would be the same until i drove my dads friends/friends dad (same dude). i hit what felt like 50 by the time i started checking for a merge point on the highway and looked down at the spedo and was at 80 and still accellerating. that car is insanely quick in the accel and the shifter is notchy as hell, smooth clutch, smooth as hell steering...its just a sweet car.

never driven an s2k tho so im not knocking it.

 

S2k ftw.........

 

And what do you base that statement on?

 

Top gear is garbage IMO, fun to watch but totally bias and un-fair to anything other than British cars. I honestly do not like the power band in the car, the RWD layout was honda's chance to make decent tq and not have it overwelm the car but the didn't. The S2K allso is like all other F/H series and you get no kind of power out of it at all with bolt ons and tuning. I am just not a fan of either car. Sorry, my opinion.

I would take a MAZDASPEED Miata over both of them

 

ya the Mazdaspeed mazdas are great cars...i would love to have a msprotege. the newer generation miatas are a bit bulky for me..and i believe their coming out with an ms 3 next year.

Yeah Top Gear is biased and unfair but its hilarious and fun to watch more than most car tv shows.
