Convience Features
Looking at the spec sheet, I see that the driver has an 8-way power adjustable seat. Does anyone know if the passenger seat is power operated?
The spec sheet also says that there is one-touch up-down windows for the driver's side. Is this feature for the passenger side too?
I'm sort of a freak for luxury features, so if these features aren't included I'll be slightly disappointed, but I'm sure I'll get over it ... :D

i think its the drivers side only power while the passenger get the normal manual seats like in the GS trim..
and the window is probably like our family van, only the driver side window does thewhole one touch thing
i coudln't find the thread w/ the specs sheet and alots of the specs on mazda.com are TBD.. anyone got that link to it again?

The RX-8 is not too high on the luxury touches: missing power seats for passenger, memory seats linked to remote keyfobs, telescoping steering wheel, auto-dimming outside mirrors... Actually I can't think of anything else I would want that the GT package doesn't have and my last three vehicles were completely loaded Lexus RX300, Lexus IS300 and Acura MDX Touring.
However for the money you do get a lot of amazing engineering and technology in the RX-8 that may not be obvious to everyone: one-piece carbon-fiber driveshaft, electric steering assist, 6 airbags, amazing suspension and rigidity, near-perfect manual transmission, 50:50 weight distribution, ABS, EBD, VSC, Traction Control, exceptional brakes etc. I've said it before and I will say it again - I am shocked at how cheap the car is for the technology included.

All those features on the RX-8 would be awesome. I'd settle for one-touch up-down for both windows and dual power seats though ... :D

The only thing that I would really wanted to have in this car that is not currently available is the heated Steering wheel. I would love to have that as I live in Toronto and you have no idea how much better it is starting your in the morning on a cold winter day if you have both heated seat and Steering wheel.
Oh well, Rotary Engine still out weights everything :D

Having passenger power seat would be great, but the spec sheet doesn't have this listed as a feature, so I'm betting the passenger seat isn't power. I know that the newer A4 1.8T has only power driver seat and a manual passenger seat.
