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.
I thought about that but have not looked into it yet. It's looks being the worst part. It's not ugly but not very goodd looking either.

Yeah, the SS being cheaper would work but going ffrom a tight 32 inches to an even tighter 29 scares me. I know there is more to it than knee space but 29 is one ugly #.
