New Daily Driver
Pics are close ups from the PO, it's dark here and the car is covered in bugs anyway. It's a 2005 RX8, 22k on it, 6 speed, sport package, 6 CD, HID lights, also has Konis installed. It also included a second set of OEM wheels with new snows, a front bra, and a muffler delete pipe that they used for autocross. Bought it from the original owners, nice people who had karts for their two boys and a very nicely built Mazdaspeed Protege for autocross use.
I had driven one of these several years ago and didn't like it, in retrospect I think I just drove a lemon. I decided recently that I need something that can haul my three kids when necessary, manual gearbox, rear wheel drive, ok MPG, and Japanese for reliability. The RX8 is one of a very few cars that fit my criteria, and it's a blast to drive. Very nice balance, excellent steering and brakes, good ride quality when the Konis aren't set to full stiff (like they are now), and the rotary loves to rev. I'm very happy with my purchase.
