Lightbulb Buy MAZDA RX-8

Hi guys,

Im new here...and would like to get your comments and advise regarding the Mazda RX-8 . Im planning to get one, its about RM 180k a renesis model 2003 without the leather seat...Im trying to find one with leather seat but havent found yet...So im still looking for that car, with nag, dvd, leather seats, black and red interior dream car of mine.

My friend drives a Honda "Spoon" and recommanded that i buy a honda instead of a mazda...Apparently the fuel consumption for RX8 is not so good even though its just a 1.3 litre sports car.

Honda vs Mazda...Performance versus Prestige....I would rather go for prestige mind you me, .. so yeah guys i need your hard im in a dilemma right now ,... i like the Rx8 REALLY MUCH or should i just take Honda straight on, Im really in a pickle right now...help me out guys..Thanks.

mazda. I could have picked a honda s2000. Just do what your heart says. Your heart says rx8. If you get a honda, you will see an rx8 on the street and you will feel guilty. I didnt want to feel guilty, I just went with my heart

I found today from an agent there is a Mazda rx8 black, leather seats, Automatic, plus its a nemesis car plus including a sun roof...2004 model...The only downside is that its about 180k plus...havent negotiate yet...but i doubt that its going to be any lower...

A question though..If i wait till 2007 would the price of the car depreciate?

Well yeah i would go with my heart...but the thing is, would it give me any problems in the future...for example where would i go if i wanna go for servicing or maybe go for check ups?

Im located in Kuantan..? There is one guy using a blue RX8 Car but still have got the chance to talk to him.

People should really stop expecting the RX-8 to give the fuel consumption of a regular 1.3 litre piston-engined car! Just think about it - what 1.3 litre engine can give you 250ps??

Hey Blackie Mazda, Im selling my car, its 2nd hand but i just purchased is 5 months ago and now changing car, not that the car has any problems or anything, but im just a really fickle minded person. My car is in EXCELLENT EXCELLENT condition, new brake pads, new engine mounting, i changed them all new tyres. its a 2003 car, its white with black and red leather seats, navigation system that i have already upgraded to a DVD player. So yeah, for more information you can contact me @ 012 6610186. Oh btw you looking for manual or auto? cause mines an auto.

if servicing matters,even any petrol station (service station) can do it la.......

if for check up, C & C (Kuantan division shud be able to do it,..)

B2586 Jalan Beserah
25300 Kuantan
Pahang

Why dont u go there n ask 1st....C & C in KL can do it and they charge u for RM83 for retuning.....

For the parts, it would be advisable u pre order 1st in Sunway...it wud be much cheaper...since u in Kuantan,its not that far or u can just ask the shop to courier it to Kuantan....
