I have not driven the RX8, but I have owned an Evo X MR. The dual clutch sucks at low speeds (I may have had a lemon though, I'm not sure, but dealer couldn't and wouldn't fix it). If you get the GSR, it only has 5 gears, which annoyed me personally as I believe 6 is ideal. Besides passengers, the Z is MORE practical. I say this because of the silly trunk in the Evo (they have the battery and washer fluid back there, which cuts on cargo space). You could always put your cargo on the back seats, but that's messy IMO.

If the MR's dual clutch behaved properly, I would have probably still kept it, but proper dual clutches are hard to come by..

The Z also looks so sick, and the interior is no comparison. If you get bad weather though, the Z isnt the best choice. I can comment a lot on the two, if you need more advice feel free to ask anything.

And I just like to take this time out and again say how much JungleZ annoys me, as well as this entire forum.
Edit: I genuinely think he likes all the negative attention he gets from here. Why he is still on this forum is beyond me..
