INTERACTIVE ASSOCIATE EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: I love these little Mazda RX-8s--perfect size for a small guy like me. There's good power from the rotary, and add a few extra horses with the manual transmission, and all is well.
It is a little small inside because of the power seats. Mac said he couldn't even fit in it, and my head was perilously close to the roof, even in the lowest position. That said, the seats are comfortable and well bolstered. The few cloverleaf interchanges I took had me feeling tightly planted in the seat and on the road.
