Your 09 8 looks AWESOME!

Welcome to the club and after the break in period, redline her everyday!

Oh and BTW winning blue is the fastest color, key word = winning!

love that color ... just wondering is the 09 steering wheel a tad on the large side or is it just the design that makes it look that way

Welcome to the club, that sure was a clean S you had there. But a great replacement, I'm sure you'll love it, it's a great car and the driving experience is second to none.

Tell me about it. I have a winter beater but thought maybe I should just drive the '8 year around. Now I'm not so sure!

I've put about 60 miles on it so far. Checked the oil level for the first time yesterday, first of many I'm sure

If I were buying an 8 today, I probably wouldn't get the R3.
no sunroof
lack of color options
no nav

yes, the seats are very cool but for someone my size, not very comfortable.

Great color! How much did you get it for? And what dealer? I'm in the market and trying to figure out what's a good price for the trim you got.

You should be shooting for 4-5K off MSRP, probably a little more once the '10s are in. Go to the dealer's website and look at their internet specials. Sentry Mazda had a gray Sport listed for 23K in their specials. I got mine from Mazda Gallery, they also have a red Sport, its listed at 22.5K online. Those are in that 4-5K off range and were the lowest prices I found, even after directly asking the internet sales manager (they would send me a quote higher than what was already online!). So make sure to point this out and use as your starting point. I got a similar discount on mine although there are not that many Tourings in the Boston area when I was looking, I think this was one out of two within a 50 mile radius.

Hope this helps,
Good luck!

Very nice! I love your colour. I just bought my '09 crystal white gt at the end of August. Hope you're enjoying it.
