I live in the Phoenix area and have had a can of fix-a-flat in my truck for a couple of summers with no problem. I prefer using the plug repair kits and keep a small compressor in the vehicle, I've used them on my MK7 twice and they work great!

It was interesting to compare with original "engineering"
Press Kit before Mazda USA's write-up. Two mistakes
(or liberal stretching for the purposes of conciseness) are:
1.)Power Plant Frame isn't locked to the chassis. In fact the purpose of the 'dynamic dampers' on this closed section are to
isolate NVH.
2.)"Triple H" body construction does not contribute to quietness.
This structural element allows thinner sections while giving rigidity. If the floor, cab sides and roof flexed, the car would be rejected I'm sure.
Anyways the engineers are working on the Miata replacement
and do not see any of these abuses.

I don't mean to distract the spare tire solution discussion here.... but some of the info in the Sales Guile is hilarious. I didn't read through the whole thing, but I read the comparison part for the Audi TT, BMW330, and G35 Coupe. If a Mazda rep were to tell me this stuff in person, I would probably burst out laughing. My favorite is the 0-60 estimates on the last page, it's the "Let's find the slowest time for all of the other vehicles." Oh well, it's their sales guide, they can do what they want with it, I just hope Mazda sales people know better than to present show their customers this guide as the holy grail to sell the car.
btw: did the guide even mention anything about lighter weight and ease of entry/exit on the RX8?

And under "Comfort" it says nothing about an unprecedented-in-a-sports car ride. The whole definition of Comfort in terms of
inspiring confidence, just like has happened in JSG's direct experience, is lost on these yo-yo's.
