Smile New 2006 Mazda RX8

Hi guys,

I happen to see some PI advertising the new 2006 Mazda RX8? Anyone knows how different it is from the 2005 RX8? I am actually looking to buy an RX8 for some time already.

Cheers!

Wonder if you're looking at PIs then it is for an AT?
Wonder if the 6AT made it here...

Maybe 2006 rx-8 means car registered in 2006 but may be made 2004/2005.

Emperor is right. There's a difference between assembled in 2006 and registered in 2006. It all depends on whether the PI you got it from has stored it in a warehouse for the past 2 years or less.

Mine was assembled in 2006 and i dont see a difference. Perhaps just the new car smell and the fact that its "fresh" as compared to a older one ...

I think not much difference anyway. Mine is a jun 05

04 and 05 - immobiliser and keyless entry (can also install yourelf, less hassle with alarm system somemore)

05 and some 06 or late 05 have chrome dials and a little here and there.

The biggest diff is the 6sp AT with 250hp engine. That is the one to get. Just too bad its not a DSG or direct sequential gearbox. If the new 6sp has that, its almost a baby ferrari.
