I know at this point I'm not alone, but I just wanted to post something after waiting so long!
I just picked up my RX-8 (6MT / Titanium Gray / GT) at Adzam Mazda in Bedford Hills, NY and though I'm a noob at driving manual, I LOVE THIS CAR!
Looks as good in person as I'd ever hoped and the interior lights and engine sound are way cool when driving at night.
I was no more than .2 miles from the dealer when I started to hear some guy screaming next to me - "You're car is SICK!" My wife and friend were pretty impressed that it got such attention so quickly. My brother was driving my other car behind me said he also saw a Porsche Carerra driver doing some major rubber-necking as I was driving down through town. What's makes that even more impressive is that our town regularly has a lot high-end cars driving around (Every saturday I see at least 4 Ferarris).
As for driving impressions, like I said, I'm just learning to drive manual so all I can really say for now is that I like it. I stalled plenty of times while practicing starting on hills, but otherwise, it's not too hard to learn with.
Finally (for now), I must say that I was very happy with my dealer so if anyone is looking in Westchester County, NY, call Sunay Sulcevski at Adzam Mazda at (914) 241-2434 and tell 'em Gary sent you!
Thanks for reading.....
