Purchasing an RX-8

I plan on purchasing an RX-8 within the next week, and I am trying to decide on the best package to get, are there any certain advantages to certain packages? Or are they all pretty good?

Im also kind of torn on the color, blue or the titanium grey feel free to give me your opinion on that too :D

these are called "options" for a reason. To some they look good, and to others they do not. Get which car makes you happy, because in the end it doesn't matter what anyone thinks but you.

It's up to you. I did not get any of the options because I did not care for them (except leather seats that I'm installing after market) and I very happy with my car. BTW I chose black over titanium..... that's just me

I bought my Titanium Grey 8 a week ago today and love it! To me, the color is classic and will never go out of style socially or as I get older... As far as options, its best to get what appeals to you. I love the appearance package with the spolier, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Good Luck!

I did exactly what fluque did. I did not want the sunroof, and I don't need the traction control living in LA. I don't like the dealer leather quality, or the ribs on the bolsters, so I am going for aftermarket leather. I did not care about HID lights or fog lights, the stock lights are more than adequate. Also, I did not need heated seats or mirror, and the quality of the stock stereo is quite good, IMO.

I went for the black, because I don't like the look of the rear end black plastic on any other body color except black.

I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the leather either, and I kind of like the lines of the car without the extras, so I just got the Sport Package.

The choice of color is really tough! Honestly, they all look great.
