Don't know about you guys, but I'm 18 and approximately 5"11 and I fit perfectly in the back without having to move any seats forward. There's slightly less leg space behind the driver seat in comparison to the passenger seat, but it's still roomy enough IMO.

The only people who complain are the people who hate being in the back seat in general, or you are too wide and fat.

But if you are like 6'3 or something, then I'd understand.

i'm 6'8" - when i'm driving, you can barely fit a sheet of paper behind me. ( i actually had someone ask if i had ever driven from the backseat literally)

in my car, there is NO legroom whatsoever ( unless your legs are an inch thick) behind me, and there is almost none in my passenger side - GF has long legs too

Wow. That's all I can say, do you even get any head room?

I guess this is the time you curse mazda for designing such a slick sports sedan with such a small cabin and little head room

Cool Colour Sorted

I asked earlier for advice on black or white but no need to answer. Saw both today and without a doubt for me the crystal white pearl is the winner hands down. That's what's on order and will get next week, yep yep !!

I also think that the crystal white pearl would definitely be a better choice! but so far I've only seen the Blue R3s on the road

Dam right! My oldest some is 6'4 and my youngest is 5'6 (and he's only 14)! I just laid down the law ... no one in the back. At that height ... never mind the leg room for them ... no head room for them either.

... 'Tis a Shame we are so few in numbers around here.

I'm hoping for every other thursday night, starting July 2nd, weather permitting....
Soon I'll start a new thread for K/W Camb etc. meets...

There are also a few 7's around that may come out, but all are welcome!


Location will be at the Tim-Hortons, on Ottawa at Strasburg in Kitchener.
Starting around 8pm.

< If we gain some regulars, maybe an RX BBQ >

- Thief should bring women to the meets lol

Grey RX8 going west bound on qew around 6.15pm.
Looks like the new R3.
Rx8 driver: you are driving rx8, not a civic or corolla ... kindly drive the 8 how it is meant to be driven. I was behind you for 20 mins and wanted to pull my hair out ...
I hope you are new to stick shift in ur 8.

On another note, I am neither a big fan of the rear brake lights in the new model, nor a fan of the antenna sticking out the back.
