幹他媽!
from what i've heard the AT is not-as-fun as the MT. it also has less HP. mileage should be somewhere between 18 - 24 city/ highway. full tank is 16 gallons i believe.
as far as the setp goes, i test drove a 2006 bmw m5 recently, and the steptronic shifter on that was probably one of the smoothest i've ever driven. (a $95K u.s. car though, so i guess not a fair comparison.) i still found it a bit awkward compared to MT though.

Congrats on your new 8!! fuel consumption for AT is approximately 8 km/litre. of course plus/minus abit, all depends on how hard you push your ride. full tank should be around 55 litres, thats when the low fuel light appears...

Hi sethx,
by the way, how much you paid for your RX8? I paid 88,300 for my AT (2006 manufacturer year)

At this rate, the car will cost the same as a Nissan Sunny or a Kanjil before the end of this year!

I think you gotten your ride almost the same time as mine.
I got word yesterday that it is in SG now and needs registration.
I paid the same price as yours. Wonder if its the same PI.
Mine will be V. Red, whats your color?
Can't wait!! Agent told me within a week can drive it away
But i asked him to fix the fog lights for me. Yours got fog lights?

Hi Mandotcom,
Congrats on the arrival of your baby8! Mine is from the same PI.. How long was your wait? Wat MP3 are they fixing for you - please update - I'm keen to do mine too (when it's here)..
Well, wrt price, when I was evaluating, the clearest way to compute one over the other PI's offer was based on the total cost, inclusive of interest rebates/costs, as PI tend to lock you in with (longer) loan tenures.. So it depends.. the sale price at times is just advertising ploy..
Ride safe..
