UK Car Magazine Reviews RX8-GT (R3 )

4 pages of review on the RX-8 GT , Mostly tend to agree with the article , but i found the steering lacking in feel being lighter and more synthetick than earlier RX8'S .

I felt way more connected to my car as it feels much more mechanical in its excecution of its power and far less artificial than the new one .IMHO

Being to smooth and disconnected not allways conveys a cars character .

Enjoy the read .

quite possibly since it has a new tranny.


I have an ACT prolite flywheel in mine

I think the fidanza one is only just lighter

better revving but easier to stall

If this is true, then Mazda may decide to fit more 'unforseen' mods as time goes on.

They must be doing something right, because no-one has complained of any issues with the new model...yet....
