So a RWD/AWD with room for 4, manual, that gets fairly decent fuel economy numbers... and used isnt a big issue im assuming because you were considering a used BMW? how about a used cadillac CTS? it comes in manual, is rwd with an AWD option, can be had for decent pricing if picked up used, easily seats 4 with beyond relative comfort, has a better power to weight ratio than the RX-8 (manual RX-8 has 232 hp, giving it a 13lb/hp ratio, wheras the caddy will return you a 12.7lb/hp ratio with the DI v6). and it claims all this and still gets 26 mpg, a 4 jump on the RX-8. the only problem is this is the pricey option, though still cheaper than a comparable BMW. just my 2 cents on your dilema.
