Mazda RX-8
Coupes are not practical cars - unless you own a Mazda RX-8. Our 228bhp Hi-Power model has provided a breath of fresh air on our long-term fleet for the past year, because not only can you fit four adults in, but the boot is a decent size, too.

Those 'suicide' doors are particularly useful, and everyone who has used the car has loved them. They're very easy to open and make clambering in and out far simpler than in a standard two-door coup
