2009 RX-8 with the R3 Sport Package

The Truth About Cars reviews the 2009 Mazda RX-8 (R3 Sport Package):

...here’s the cincher: $32k. For the same price as the aforementioned awful MINI Cooper Clubman S, you can have one of the world’s finest-handling sports cars. Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying that the RX-8 R3 handles well for a $32k car. I’m saying it handles better than a $320k car. Or, more importantly, whatever you’re driving.

Pretty strong comments.
