Even the older models have some get up and go.

Got a mate who's a mechanic at a Mazda dealership. He doesn't rate the RX8 as they have high maintenance costs and theres some expensive problem that happens to them all (cant remember what it was)
That's probably why they are quite cheap to buy 2nd hand. They look lovely and there's a lot of car for your money but it may not be ultimately worth it.
RX7s are better if you can find one!

Tad, we have all been there but nowadays there is a vast difference in the Type of car you go for, as you are aware the Insurance is so high for lads of your age & the reason been, Tear @rses, I am not saying you are one but with the young, the figures show, If I can give you some advice that will help your pocket go for a small engine until you get the experience / the time / & to prove to your insurance that you are not a risk, I'm not preaching, when out with your mates in your car, just remember It's you that loses your licence not your mates, they will only laugh at you (Remember that) your licence is quicker to lose than gain, each endorsement can be an increase to your Insurance, and a Increase to your Insurance can mean, Bye Bye Car I can not afford you. Take care & use your head " Not Your Right Foot"
No I don't think that is a suitable car for someone of your age & I doubt your parents will either. You won't have the experience to handle that kind of engine. It will also be very difficult for you to get insurance & if you do find someone to insure you it will be extortionate. I know it's exciting getting your first car but do what most of us have done and have a boring car for a couple of years to get some experience.

^ understatement! Poor fuel economy, high CO2 emissions, expensive to service. My Mum's other half had one from new... attempted to sell (only 6k miles, mint condition) and couldn't get a buyer... eventually part exchanged it for a pitiful amount just to get rid.

it's a nonsense question - who would turn down a free car? If someone gave me a car i'd probably say yes please!
However, even tho you have x amount of years driving experience, that won't be on the road, and being able to drive is very different to being able to drive in traffic, manouvre in traffic, reverse park, and so on.
Even if you were a squillionairre, it would be a rubbish first car choice
