New Yellow Auto
 
I picked it from the dealer up this arvo and have just got back from a 100km trip. I know you purists think autos are for the fairer sex, but I must say I really enjoyed changing up and down using the gear lever, the paddles on the steering wheel, and then letting the auto do its thing. I had not had the opportunity of test driving an auto (test drove a manual) so for me it was a bit of a leap of faith in the posts I read from our USA members and a couple of reviews I'd seen.
The handling is superb and the ability to keep both hands on the wheel all the time is a real bonus. The combination of rotary power and auto transmission is a winner. At least for this old bloke.

"To each their own" they say.
Good on you for getting what you prefer.
Welcome to the ownership experience and enjoy! :)

Did they fit the grill for you? If so, you would be the first to receive an RX-8 with a genuine Hymee Grill already fitted!

Yes - good on ya for buying what you wanted.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hymee,
They did a good job of the grill fitment which they did for free because they'd stuffed me around with delivery dates (promised mid Jan, delivered today). The sales reps all had a good look and it sounded like you have quite a few who would recommend it to their customers.

Nothing wrong with an auto rotary mate. My 20Btt powered Cosmo is auto. The wife drives the 13Bt Luce & its auto.

Its called "Auto rotation"................
