Should I buy a Mazda rx8 or Hyundai tiburon GT or another sporty coupe car?

Of all the research with my $8000 budget those two cars give me the most interest. What do you think which one is better? Or do you think there is a better car to prefer me to that meets my budget?

    I like the Mazda but the Hyundai's are pretty good cars and you get a lot for your money

    i would recommend the mazda rx8 (my car)

    they are both discontinued cars but i would say the rx8 is the sportier of the two

    the rx8 is rear wheel drive and the tiburon is fwd

    the rx8 has a rotary engine which requires more maintenance than other cars so be careful when buying one...tell the owner to get a compression test first

    all in all, the more conservative route would be the tiburon

    The RX8 is unique because of its rotary engine but that comes at a price: high fuel consumption, must be meticulously maintained, and high horsepower but relatively low torque.

    The Tib is okay but for reliability, I'd look for a Celica or Miata (if you can live with only 2 seats).

    stay removed from the Mazda. they're severe maintenance. something with certainly one of Toyotas or Hondas trademarks could be extra effective. The Civic could be a lot extra effective. Mazdaspeed and Subaru WRX are 4-doorways, yet very sporty.

    the HYUNDAI is not on the level of the mazda/the H will not be able to see the rx after about 6 seconds/the rx is fast and the H is not/get the Rx if flat out speed is what you want
