i have a 2004 mazda RX8 that i bought from a lexus dealership. i dont know the difference between sports, touring and grand touring edition.

mine has the bose sound system, heated seats, moon roof, ect.

no nav or cd changer.

is there somewhere on the car that it says which version i have.

i know .. im not a car guy.. but always been in love with the look of the RX8.

thanks guys. always helpful

 

you gotta GT...your side mirrors warm up when you put your defroster on

 

so it is a GT..

i never knew the side mirriors warmed up lol

 

leather seats = heated seats = GT model

MT or AT?

 

automatic but i think u can use it as manual as well. has paddle shifters

 

nice...

any other question?

 

its an auto, the paddles are 'sport' mode which pretty much just lets you select the gear you're in, but its an auto

Welcome to the club

 

lol.. so it is a grand touring???

so only grand touring has the heated leather seats?

 

Yes, grand touring.

 

thanks!!

 

Auto = fail.

 

caranddouchebag

 

^^thats pretty harsh...

in all seriousness, sounds like a nice car. most car enthusiests will choose a vehicle with a manual trans, but if you prefer the auto then thats cool. at least you have excellent taste in teh car you drive

 

Whats harsh is that he just got his car and some ***** is gonna tell him autos suck.

 

doesnt hurt my feelings lol

 

autos for me are garbage, I feel like I have no real control, especially with this car. I tried the Auto once and was like ok... Manuals own. But get what you want, its America and your allowed to do as you please.

 

I have an 04 GT aswell. Yes, it is AT. Yes, I wish I got the MT. All in all, it still looks amazing and driving it is extremly fun. I just wish I had the luxury of feeling the 9000RPM everyday. I'll make sure to get MT when the 16X rotary engine is released. Already saving up

Joseph, welcome to the club. There is a lot of great information here and a lot of great members, it also has its ******. Anything you need to know about the car can be found in the forums. Learn to search or get bashed lol.

 

i just thought you were calling him a douchbag that all.

 

sorry....this made me chuckle... poor 4-port AT owner trying so hard...

 

Grand Touring FTW

 

lol. i cant believe this is still going on.

its an auto. no biggie lol. it goes as fast as i need it.

 

^and thats all that matters

 

does anyone know how the difference between sports suspension or normal because i dont know which one i have

 

Way to give a new guy a warm welcome

Nowhere did he ask for opinions on his purchase, he already bought it and its irrelevant at this point that its an auto.

He wasnt trying to pretend he had a manual, he didnt realize that it wasnt a 'manu-matic' like a VW or Benz. Get off the dudes case and welcome him to the club.

 

If your car came with 16 inch wheels, you have the non-sport suspension.

18 inch wheels = sport suspension.
