Question Chance to see/test drive for non order people - North West?

Hi all

Been considering either a TT or a RX8 for sometime and after swaying between the two for a while, I feel I'm favouring the Mazda again!

Registered a few months ago on this forum to keep updated but not been able to view much recently so my questions were:

- Is it possible to have a test drive anywhere yet if you are not a pre-order person? If not, is there a date when?

- Are there any further shows or even dealerships who have the RX8 in to view in the North West Region?

Thanks all - I do fancy a red one!

I pre ordered in March and I have not been able to get a test drive yet. My Dealer (knightsbridge in Stockport)despite having over 50 preorders have said that they will not have a car until they pick up their demonstrator from Silverstone at the end of October
Does anyone who ordered at the Warrington dealership have any news on test drives from there?

Crikey!

Hope you get your test drive soon - especially as you are a pre order for a few months! Looks like I might have to wait a bit longer before I get to go for a spin!

If anyone spots RX8's to view in the North West - somewhere like Warrington would be ideal, then let me know so I can sneek a look!

Cheers

Ordered in may at the warrington dealer.

Seen on on the tour in manchester, and thats it.

Seems like half the forums (and wolrd) have had a test drive, some even 2 and nothing for us. Even better, my dealer contact lied to me about the test drives.

Yep, I'm not surprised about Warrington not getting a car but it is a pain that no test drives have been avaliable with a 50 mile radius (Rob, my sales guy still hasn't got back in touch about this).

I'm stunned at Stockport not getting a car though, although I think they were expecting to get one immediatly after the Manchester Dealer launch event. So perhaps Mazda renaged on that promise so now Stockport may feel a bit bitter and don't want to pay for something they were promised as a freebie.

(Ordered January, Warrington Mazda)

I ordered in July from Dickinson Brothers in Winsford and, apart from stting in one at the Manchester event, have not had a test drive.

I rang liverpool a couple of days ago, and they are not having any test drives until Oct/Nov. Winsford is a small dealer, so Im not holding out any hope there either.

I also rang Warrington, but no joy
