4AT and 5AT RX8
Hi all,
have just ordered my RX8 from a PI in Singapore and I remember it was a 5AT unit, but reading the threads here, it seems that it's a 4AT...
Did I read wrongly? or is there really 2 versions? one 4AT and a 5AT...
If there are indeed 2 different specs, wat's the difference between the 2? I suppose the 5AT has a better drive? or faster in performance??
Pls advise as this is my 1st performance car and I'm really poor when it comes to all the performance cars and mods...
Thanxs! :P

Think you are refering to the two auto versions, normal auto and Type E auto. Normal auto is like your regular auto car. Type E has the tiptronic gear, meaning you have both auto functions as well as the manual function (you see M with + and -). Both are 4 speed. Hope this helps.

daverx8 is right to mention that type e models mean more options. see link for more info:

In the wheels magazine here in Australia it has been reported that the NEW 6 speed automatic for the new MAZDA MIATA MX5 will be put into the 2006 RX8 , IF YOU CAN WAIT DO SO THIS 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THE CRAPPY 4 SPEED ONE CURRENTLY IN THE RX8.
Every magazine i have read has canned the 4 speed automatic in the RX8 when the new 6speed automatic in 2006 arrives the value of the current 4 speed one will fall rapidly , so if you can ....WAIT FOR THE 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC , this is the automatic that should have been put in the RX8 in the first place the 4 speed sucks big time .

Yes Vanquish, do join us for our meet-up but a word of warning, be prepared to spend more money on your car after you meet-up with us. The "dark side" of the force is very strong, it's hard to resist all the "poisons" that you will be exposed to. :p
