To be honest I have found a couple 350z and s2000's, older models though. And as for rx8's there are plenty of them for under $18,000 in my area. I plan on useing it as a everyday driver but I dont plan on leaving it stock. I will have about $1500 to play with once I get the car.

i would still go with the rsx. used rx8's here go for about 22 000+. i saw a used s2000 for 18 000 but it had like over 200k on it. not worth buying.

Well you are in Canada and maybe he's talking about 18,000 US.

Anyways finding S2000s and RX8s under 18 are possible pretty easily. I've seen a couple RX8s for 18-19 with under 10k miles on them.

Out of that list I'd say S2000 would be the more fun, but it's also the least practical. Do you need need the extra seats? The extra room?

Only way to know if you'll be happy with any of them is to test drive them all. It's all personal preference on what you like. Do you wan the power of the 350Z or the handling of the S2000? The VTEC of the Type-S or the smooth power of the Rotary.

Well Im pretty sure the s2000 is out of the question, I was reading they are a little cramped and im 6'3". How are the rx8's? Like reliabilty wise and how will the rotary motor last in the long run? And is there any specific 350z I should look into (like the base model rsx compaired to the rsx type s) thanks

In my opinion RX8's are a turd of a car.
Go w/ the Acura or NIssan.

350z If you can find one under 18K(I've seen a few around here, so it's possible) there's no question thats what I'd go for. Has everything from power to handling to reliability. Most of the other cars you listed only seem to have reliability and/or handling.
