Very Nice, I always have to double take rx-8's...they have good road presence.

Lets see a pic of that needle hitting 9k

Theyre basically useless

Not really i'm 5'9 and me and my mate (whos nearly 6ft) were sat in the back of my mates rx-8 for the 3 hour trip to manchester the other week

Plenty enough room, and a great "bin" for your beer cans

Only thing to watch out for in the back is motion sickness. Get's people bad in those for some reason.

due to not being able to see much, feels like being on a boat or something, those pesky port hole windows

If it wasn't for the fuel I'd quite like one of these

where u spend money on fuel you save on servicing

we,ve had ours nearly a year and the only money really spent on it was fitting rear parking sensors.

quality car

Very nice car, looks awesome in black. I have no doubt's you'll have a lot of fun in it, apart from the fuel consuption

Very nice car.

Is the red one your missus's car?

I was seriously considering one of those when I changed my car a few weeks back. What put me off is that I'd feel guilty every time I floored it due to the cost in fuel. In the end I went for a leon cupra r which gets me 28mpg taking it easy on my daily commute.

i currently have a cupra r dont think the rx8 will be much worse, i currently get 28-30 daily think the rx8 will be abour 22-24

Thats one nice car, i love how the rear doors open

maybe one day i'll be able to get one of these when i've got more road experience

excellent motor, currently have a titanium grey one 2004 too....same as yours basically but ti grey......get yourself over to www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk go on the forum, nice friendly guys and girls and top notch advice......if its still in warrenty youll able to get a lot replaced, eg, new alloys if there corroding...( got my new ones a few months ago

....as Mazda are known for **** laquer on there alloys.....new light seals....PCM upgrade and many others, if you join the RX8 owners club you also get discount on oil, which is good seeing as the RX8 drinks oil and petrol as if its going out of fashion

ENJOY THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
