RX-8 on HDT's 'Auto Trader'

I like HDT's new/current Brit offerings, 'Wheeler Dealers' and 'Auto Trader.'

I like them even more now that they've showcased the Miata on the former and the RX-8 on the latter.

Although the RX-8 wasn't selected, due to the buyer's financial limits, 'Mike' was, as usual, pretty fair in his evaluation. He did cite 'it tends to use oil' without supporting why that is, but again in general a very positive view. I really chuckled at his "just keep the peddle down... keep it down..." as the buyer was suitably impressed at the redline spool up.

It appeared to be a 40th Anniv. Edition, so I was surprised that it was already on his Used Car lot. I guess I wasn't surprised by how much the value had depreciated, even in British pounds.

I saw that episode. I have the DVR set to record that show. I couldn't believe that that guy chose the Hyundai. He actually appeared to enjoy that car more.
