Just wanted to say hi.

Will be hopefully purchasing an 8 shortly and before I buy I thought I would do some reading. I like what Mazda produces, I had a 2nd gen 7 for a brief period also a McCain-3 for a while.

I've already read the new and potential owners sticky and cat wait to learn more. Great looking community here!!

 

Hello, good luck.
IMHO stick is way to go.

 

Kudos to doing your research before buying (unlike me).
Car is expensive, but payoff has been worth it.
There's nothing like it on the road. =)

 

Hopefully you'll decide to get an rx8 and good luck!
