hi guys.i've just got my 8. however, i'm a bit worried about the heat coming from the interior, let say, under the handbrakes, esp the middle consule of the car. i already ask Mofaz(where i bought my car) about it and they told me that all the 8 they have sold is just like that. maybe because the rotary engine is generating a lot of heat n its normal. my question is...is it normal???or my car is making problems already???
