Smart Card
 
Hi, I am a potential buyer (trading my 2004 Acura TL 6MT) for an RX-8, I test drove a 2010 RX-8 R3 yesterday that I fell in love with and noticed it used what is referred to as a "smart card". I immediately fell in love and wanted one, but the R3 is a tad out of my price range, do these come standard with any certain models or years? I'm looking to keep my year between 2009-2010, but I may have to settle for a 2008. Thoughts?

I believe all the GT models (leather and sunroof cars) came with Smart Cards from the get go.

^incorrect.
The smart card became available in '06 to all models

There you have it.
06+ Series 1 GTs (leather seats and sunroof) should have smart keys.

I don't know about Series 2 cars.

Hmm I guess it was just the GT model then.

Just the GT models from 06+ and the 08 40th AE's
Same for S2's GT and R3 only.

I too fell in love with the key
