My new "pleasure vehicle"
I'm keeping my 2005 Mazda3 4-door as my commuter car, but today I brought this beauty home to be my "pleasure vehicle:"








It's a Sparkling Black Mica Grand Touring. I had planned to get the R3, but the seats are just too narrow for me and my wife.

Lovely car; this just makes me want to trade up even more. I'd go with white, though (go figure!).

You'll love the car!

But I just can't bring myself to like the new front end or the lack of fender vents. But thats just me.

however, the back bumper is really slick.

Congrats! I love that new black, the way it sparkles in the sunlight, way different than the BB. Nice choice.

i don't know, everything looks good, but the steering wheels doesn't really catch my attention. according to my opinion, the 04 steering wheels is better.
i hope you enjoy the RX8 ..

I actually feel quite the opposite about the steering wheel; the old one just looks too bulgy and bulky compared to the newer one.
