Not only that, but it`s a 4 seater, and a 4 door. And black leather interior with heated seats.

The "action" video will have to wait for spring when the snow's all gone though!

That's another thing I really like about the RX-8: Mazda made a sedan with the sexy sleek styling of a coupe, and it's subtle enough that one doesn't even think it's a four-door until the suicide doors pop open. It's that ideal mixture of form and function that makes me love the RX-8 so much.

Seriously, I'm envious of your car.

I used to play this game on the PC, and I just loved zipping around in the RX8.

I had to sell the 88 Caprice daily driver, it was in good shape but a pig on gas and was beginning to need work I couldn't afford. In it's place, I needed something a little better on gas and more reliable as a daily driver.

Sold:


So far it's received a remote starter and under dash LED lights. Loving it so far :)

Coming soon: dual resonated midpipe, stainless steel catback, 20" chrome wheel/tires, carbon fiber hood, trunk, spoiler and lip kit.

Rx8 mods are cheaper than fixing the old caprice? Lol.
I get it, Sometimes the old stuff just has to go.
I do like the new Mazda though 8)

It's more like a wishlist! Lol.

But yeah the Caprice was starting get some issues, such as failing steering column, some rust underneath, etc... so it had to go before it was too late.

Mazda makes a lot of good stuff. I remember having bought a car from Carmax and it went in for a week of warranty work and the loaner car was a 2007 Mazda3 base(power windows/locks and auto trans) and the car had 80,000 miles on it and still felt tight with no rattles or issues. it was huge inside compared to what it looked like on the outside and it felt good to drive.

I tried trading in the car I bought that was in for the warranty work for it but because it is in Maryland, it needed to be MSI again.

Here is a pic of it

My time with it was the same time where MD had super hot weather

But the air on full blast was chilly and even with the air on full the car did not bog down

That RX-8 is a gas pig but still much more fun to drive then the previous daily

good luck with your car
