:D Very, very satisfied. I have had 0 problems, almost 5000 miles, gas mileage about 21 highway. Just a very happy camper.:D :D :D :D :D

So who won? :D

Total satisfaction, I especially like how the exhaust note the shriek of excitement from my 20 month old in the back make the whole thing sound like an F1

I too voted highly satisfied. Like most of the other comments GAS mileage is my only real beef with my new 'winning' blue RX8.

I love my green baby. She is sexy and fast

Highly satisfied. This car is an incredible value and a sheer joy to drive.

Extremely Satisfied, Gas Mileage 18/23, performance seems to have improved after the 2500 mile mark.
This car is incredible, I love it as much as my motorcycles! I never thought a car could be as cool as a bike, but here it is!

I have never had a car in which I was more initially satisfied with in my life, and as high as my expectations were, the car actually was far more comfortable, quiter and better built than I thought it would be. My mileage is fine with 18 MPG city mileage and as far as I am concerned, good pick-up with truly world class handling. Everything as advertised.

My MPG throughout time....
 

I thought this might be interesting to some folks. I've been keeping track of fuel consumption since my second fill up.

And distance drove through time....


I would like to add: notice the last data point on the graph, is a roadtrip made from Dallas to Shreveport (yeah baby!) of around 200 miles one way. The resulting mileage is averaging highway speeds of 75mph, with some (lots of) incursions beyond for passing purposes.

And a little spreadsheet with the actual data...

Love the car to death, I clean it every time I park it in the garage. Gas mileage is an issue, but I'm only got about 600 miles on the car, so from what I hear it will get better. Other than that, this car is wonderful!

Down Alpo!!! Down!!! :D

whoa,
nice jump in MPG for you RX8-TX, what made the difference ?

I voted highly satisfied and I don't even have the car anymore.

The car oozes style inside and out - I miss getting a thumbs up from the drivers of M3s and Porsches and S2000s and VWs and SUVs and pickup trucks and...

A trip down to Shreveport....almost 200 miles one way of highway.

best car i have ever driven or owned. highly satisfied!

highly satisfied, no problems at all, amazing driving experience, gas mileage 17-21mpg, usually between 18-20

Highly satisfied except for my 14 mpg and my inability to find snow tires anywhere in the country.

Check this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33745 . They're out there!

Pelucidor,

Nice thoughts, good luck with the G35. It was the last car standing when I was choosing between the two, ultimately I found the Maxda "more of a driver's car" when making my decision and have been "Most pleased" with my choice.

The closer and closer it gets to me buying my 8 the better I feel with the responses from you guys/ladies. Soon enough I will be able to add my "highly satisfied" vote to the poll. Damn, playing the waiting game is tough. Maybe if I didn't spend every free minute on this forum it would be easier. Nah, what fun would that be. :-)

Highly Satisfied, the car is impressive on so many levels.

Gas mileage is poor, I have recorded mileage since inception; I have 7,500 miles so far (80-85% city driving).

Thanks, Omicron. By the time I got there they were gone for $380 each!!!

You betcha. Keep an eye on eBay or send a message to that seller to see if he has any more. Seems to me I heard somewhere he had 400+ sets of tires, so it's possible he has more and just hasn't relisted them.
