Differences between GT and other models?
 
Hopefully picking up a RX-8 this monday (keep the fingers crossed the loan doesn't get shot down), and I have no idea what trim it is! :wallbash:

I'm trying to figure out what it is before I buy it, but I couldn't find anything in the FAQ section.

Little help on how to distinguish the differences?

Heres the CL add if that helps.

Thanks in advance :)

I think you need to do more research before buying this car if you dont even know what the trim level of the car you are buying is.....

so because I don't know a lot about a car that I like makes me not ready to buy such a car? Maybe I test drove it and just fell in love with it?

Thanks for the help, bud.

With this car you really need to do research before buying it. Also you are going to NEED all the oil change receipts from the previous owner (if you want the warrenty) and its also a good idea to get a compression check to see the health of the engine.

wow, well since nobody else answered.. which I'm really surprised.. I guess ill take the time to. there is a base( not worth nething imo..) sport trim, a touring trim, and a grand touring trim. Sport trim has limited slip dif, and bucket seats. the touring trim adds a LOT of stuff including, power mirrors, leather upholstery, sunglasses holder, and 18 inch rims. The Grand Touring Adds a LOT of luxury. It is the model I just purchased and i have to say.. AMAZING! Adds 9 Bose speakers, a wireless home link rear view mirror, automatic volume scaling based on your speed, 6 cd changer, rear spoiler, heated seats, power driver seat, sun roof with tilt and slide options and a lot more.
However like somebody else mentioned you NEED to research the car first. It is a lot to take care of and you need to KNOW HOW or it will not last. U definately have to love it, feed it, hold it, and take care of it. Hope this helped a little :D
