#26
wait so guys...how does it go? is the ranking go from the lowest model to the highest like sports, touring, THEN grand touring? i know about the shinka but not interested. Im in the moment of purchasing an 8 right now but dont know which model best suits me. Whats the pro's/con's in getting a sports, touring, and grand touring?

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.

each level offers something to each type of person. the moonroof on the touring and GT have more weight and less headroom. for some that wear a helmet, that's a no-go. for some who like to have it open in the summer, it's a must have. some love leather, some hate it.
there are advantages and disadvantages to each. figure out what you want out of your car and pick the level that suits you.

hey thanks for the quick reply i jus got out the shower and was on my way out to the dealership to test drive this nordic green rx8! haha luckily i came back and checked.
I guess Touring and Grand Touring model is what best suits me, if im looking for an rx8 from a used car dealership what kind of pointers can you guys give me to look for there?

i got another question since we're at it. I was at the dealerships today test driving the 05 rx8, the guy claims the sunlight silver rx8 is a shinka, it has everything a grand touring would have... heated leather seats, mirror dim, side mirror defroster etc you get the point but it doesnt have the ugly tan/white suede seats a shinka would have...my question is IS that a shinka? he claims he ran the vin and it came up as a shinka. soo what should i look for that shows its a shinka or not?

i can look it up later but really need to get some energy back. having a personal training session at the gym on almost no food the day before might have been a bad idea

Sooo if I have the nav system and the heated leather seats on an 04 I have the GT? Witch at the time was the best you can get? Also on Mazda's site is says that the 09 comes with a 232 HP engine or a 212 HP engine? was this also true for the 04s?
