I drove one on Saturday and thought it was very easy to handle besides being a beautiful car. I think this guy is trying to get attention. Of all the reviews I've read, I think this one has an element of bovine scatology when it comes to being unforgiving. Wing 07-14-2003, 06:22 AM Yeah I agree, I think maybe he's never driven RWD before, and maybe he tested it in the rain? rael 07-14-2003, 07:49 AM Luckily in the UK we do get a days driving course. rael dragon76 07-16-2003, 02:27 AM That's an interesting bonus...wonder if anyone here in the US has been promised a free driving course as well.. anyone??? I'll have to bargin this in with my deal when the car comes in!!

KEF 07-19-2003, 03:42 PM I take it that was Mr Duarte's first review since he got sacked by 'What Motorhome' hope he likes walking cause it sounds like a bus would be too hot for him. zoom44 07-19-2003, 05:51 PM this guy is either a Moron or he is a true enthuiast who is just trying to keep the general public from buying them up so all the enthusiasts can get one....... ........nah he's just a moron akrx8 07-19-2003, 08:54 PM yes,moron!:D Elara 07-19-2003, 09:28 PM I think, perhaps, that he never drove it- just made up some random bullsh*t that he thought sounded good. Or maybe he's just got some mental issues...? Canada 07-29-2003, 08:39 PM Free driving course from Mazda? Not from my dealer here in Canada. But I will have to take a MANDATORY driver safety course in September because the RX-8 will be my company car and they're paying for the insurance...if I ever actually receive it, that is ("estimated delivery: mid-June" and counting). boowana 07-29-2003, 08:46 PM Tell him to go get a Mae West and a Pepsi, Eh!:mad: Canada 07-31-2003, 06:04 PM Better yet, he could take a course from Skid Control School (SCS) in Ontario: http://www.skidcontrolschool.com/html/scs_experience.html |
