gREETINGs

Hello to all bros & sis here. Newbie here. My OC and I are planning to buy a 2nd ride in the months to come and Rx8 has been in our minds. I'm here to learn from all of u now and at the same time, consolidating our funds and hopefully we are financially viable to own an 8 by Dec

Before i commit one, can any bros share wif me what is the advantage and disadvantage from getting an 8 from PI and MM?

thanks in advance!

MM = safe but expensive

PI = be careful. Look out for yourself. 20% get good deal. 80% kanna chopped.

^^ Agreed.

PI-wise, Garage R is quite safe (I bought from them), but their 1-yr-only warranty is a bit of a gamble for this car....MM is 3 yrs.

Hi There... do you intend to mod and "play" with your car? If so, I would highly recommend you to get a MT instead.. If not, then just enjoy the cruise and dont bother going fast, cos the torque is really quite lacking at the low end.

Type E model : (1) Leather seats original from japan, (2) Electric Seats (driver side only), (3) Sun roof, (4) DSC + LSD (5) Bose Audio systems, (6) Cruise Control

Base model : None of the above ....

Above information were based on specs from a 4AT, presuming that the 6AT should be similar.

So far had seen only a couple of the Type E (4AT) in Singapore and None Type E (6AT) as yet.....
