The rex, assuming your talking about the new one, has a poor ass
boot. Highly doubt that you can fit your golf clubs in there. It's
not small, it's just really shallow. You can fit your Imelda Marcos
shoe collection in there just fine though, I think.
The 8, has a rather big boot, if I remember correctly. A member
here has one, though it's the manual version. Very deep boot, just
not very wide if memory serves. May just fit in the clubs. Try, to
be certain.
I gather that your female, and looking for an easy to drive,
quick-ish car, hence the choice of AT. You flipping a coin and
buying whichever car, would serve you just as well. The 8 shades
the rex in looks though, by my reckoning.
All said, my money would be on the rex. MotorImage doesn't have the
best reputation for after sales service though. So it's a hard one
to call. If I were in your shoes, I would go for some other
choices, with MT. But I not making the decision today, so I would
recommend you go test drive both cars, to see which one your
comfortable in. The rex will be a little difficult, but worth a
shot.
Side note. There are other cars, which are probably not as fast,
but might fit into your requirements too. 1 which comes to mind is
the 2l version of the new Honda Civic. Need to see if they pass
your looks test and drive test. Shoes and golf clubs test, pretty
sure they pass just fine.
