Mazda Rx8 vs. Rsx-s vs. Scion Tc?

I think the Acura is better suited for you as a first car just because it's a lot cheaper and easier to maintain. The Acura also has a lot of aftermarket support if you're ever interested in tuning it. Sure, the Mazda's more fun to drive but my buddy working at Mazda told me how they would get at least 4 or 5 coming into the dealership each week because of the engine being flooded from owners making short trips.
