autos.canada.com reviews the RX-8 R3!
 

Another very favorable review of the RX-8 from our neighbors to the north:

The main complaint is, not surprisingly, fuel economy. Although, the author does comment that he would prefer a black headliner on the car, which I find odd, since that seems like it would make the interior more cramped feeling.

Good review except the reporter got the final drive numbers switched.

I thought the R3 is a fine rx-8. Certainly the model I'd go for. i was surprised that the Recaros were so tight and hard. Perhaps it's time to lay off those late night binge snacking.
