Hello,
I just bought a RX8. Its a great car. It is the Shinka automatic. I am looking to see if anyone also bought this model and how is your experience.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheeze,
Thank u for the reply. I am enjoying the car. It is so smooth to drive. I am getting good MPH as I am driving it very consertively. I have yet to test the actula MPG.
Be careful of the lowness of the car u are parking in Mall and also the curb. The rims are so low and it can damage the rim. I had already has such an experienece.
What is your experience with MPG( miles per gallon) in your car.

I am also an AT owner, have a lightning yellow version, and just love it. Have just over 6,000 miles on it. Get roughly 20mpg, which is up from when I first bought it.
 
Some prior posts here (not necessarily this chat room), have people discussing how they scratched their rims. Be careful with them. Also, some posts lately describe not being so gentle in your driving, but to "blow out the crap" each day. Might hurt the gas mileage, but fun to do. Have to put to manual shift mode to be effective with the AT.

hey yall, i had gotten back from over seas about 6 or 7 months ago, im gettin out of the marine corps so i figured what the hell..... my first car i got when i was 22. bought it myself when i came back from overseas the first time. i bought a honda prelude SH 01 MT, i loved it but after a while it started giving me problems so i traded it in... i pick up my 2004 canary yellow rx-8 MT with the GTpckg today at noon. and from reading all of ur input that everyone has donated, and pathstars great wisdom on the car i am proud to be an owner of an rx-8. i also i paid 25,000 for it, its got 50 miles on it from whatever they do with em at the lot, is that good or bad?

Probably had a test drive or two. Not a problem. Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it! Sounds like you got a good deal. The yellow will be rare as it's no longer made.

everyone thought I was nuts for wanting yellow, but I honestly wouldn't have bought one if I couldn't find yellow. I love it and it's a real eye-catcher. Miles from the lot shouldn't be an issue. Mine had 800 because the owner of the dealership likes yellow - he drove it the first month. Got me a little more in savings on the car. You'll love it!!

Got yellow too. Very eye catching. You have to be a slight extrovert to want this color. Gets tons of compliments. I never owned a car like this before (non sports car, dull colors). Feels good to get the comments.
