I just can't explain why that despite the fact that I have a wonderful car to drive to work everyday, I end up home late at night reading up about how wonderful the car is to drive.

Anyway, here's a review I just chanced upon (or rather, I must have missed when I was deciding to buy.) Maybe it's because like in the review, I was recently on a trip to Cornwall in England (in an M3 no less!) so it brought back memories and a strong urge to imagine taking the 8 through those curvy roads with their breathtaking view to Land's End. But I digress...

My favourite parts:

"As motoring journalists we drive a large number of cars every year and sadly you do become immune to the novelty of a new car - but this was not the case with the RX-8 we couldn't wait to drive it."

"The engine and exhaust note is raucous and truly addictive - Mazda have clearly designed the RX-8 with the enthusiast in mind."

"We drive over 100 cars a year, and the RX-8 left a lasting impression, it is often too easy to forget which vehicle we drove the week before but the Mazda RX-8 will go down in our hall of fame. Mazda deserve recognition for creating a new class of four-seater in the sports car market."

And finally, Cornwall being famous for fish & chips...

"It is a car that that begs to be driven so much so that we drove over 200 miles in one evening just to go for fish chips!"

Actually, why don't be post a whole bunch of links here on web reviews of the RX8 so that potential buyers can have an easy place to find them all (yesss.... even easier than Googling it)

I quite picky when it comes to buying things. I am never so satisfied buying something before. The most satisfied i ever felt buying something in my life is maybe 60-70% but the 8 ranks a highest 80% satisfaction on my purchase-satifaction scale.

Anyway i thought for quite a while and read quite a bit before buying the 8. Just as i do for all my purchases.

You know what? I'm glad the RX8 worked out well for you, but hey, don't you think that most purchases only hitting 60-70% satisfaction is rather.... urm..... low? Gosh, I think I'm like a machine (i.e. binary) or something coz typically, I don't think that hard. It's either HAPPY or NOT HAPPY

No idea how to % my satisfaction. Just know that I lurrrve my 8! Just like I'm sure many of our fellow owners feel.

Right guys?

Guys???

Must be late at night or the weekend lah. The RX8Clubers usually gear up for Friday nights then chill out for weekend

The day I got my RX8 it was like going back to being a kid again with my first sports car. At my age it is great to have the excuse that for a sports car it is practical, it has 4 seats and doors. Then I promptly forget it has 4 seats and doors. Ya, I did the same thing yesterday. Took a 4 hour round trip just for fish and chips just so I could drive the RX8.



So can I put a % on my satisfaction with the car. Nooooooo
