Here another European....


letīs see how many Europeans will join this this forum.

The RX-8 for the EU will have quite some different specifications, engine tuning and suspension setting.


Higher level of equipment. ie DSC (or ESP), more airbags, slightly harder suspension, and a lower PS entry level engine!

The tune of engine for Europe is different (to meet Euro IV standard?):

You can find the diffrences in the new press release from Mazda (for NAIAS)

JAPAN_USA SPEC: 250ps @ 8500 216 Nm @ 5500

EURO SPEC: 240 ps @ 8200 211 Nm @ 5500

I'm from the north of Germany and love this car. The engine would fit very good in my Lotus Elise, i think;)

Hi folks, as you can see, I'm from Belgium. From the Dutch speaking part of it, to be more specific. I guess we won't see much RX-8's here because 80% of the cars in Belgium are Diesel powered... :(
Although I won't keep me from saving for an RX-8 ;)

Now I will tell something about myself

My name is Matthijs, I'm 18 (getting 19 in februari), I have my license but not a car. I'm going to buy a Mazda 323F 1.8 GT of the first generation....my mother drives a Mazda Premacy (I drive it also a lot), and her husband a very nice Peugeot 307. I hope my mom will buy a Mazda6 SportBreak, but probably it will be a Mazda4 (follows the Premacy up in 2004)...

And I totally love the RX-8 offcourse...wish I could buy one..

Thanks Matteo, I'm very proud of my site :D I've never seen a Mazdasite with so much information, to be honest....

Where you found the spyshot of the new 3?

Someone from the Mazda6 forum (www.mazdaatenza.com/forums.html) had scanned it from a magazine

BTW I'm working on an all new site (is almost finished). I looks great! The page 'HISTORY' (all models that were sold in Holland) will be expent with pictures and info
