Question Servicing / Warranty ?

Just wondering about warranties on these cars....

When I bought my last car (Honda) the warranty was 3yr/60,000miles.

I have seen warranties of 90,000 miles on some other cars now. I am wondering what the RX8 will be.
I vaguely remember seeing 3yr/36,000mile on some site or another but this seems a tad on the low side in this day and age , particularly for a Japanese manufacturer.

Anyone got any info on the warranty ?

Also servicing is another point. Theory says that with 3 moving parts servicing should be cheap... (although I suspect it may not be somehow....! ) I wonder what the schedule will be ?
Again , current car is 9,000 miles , Peugeots are 20,000 miles now !
Knowing the rotaries love for oil changes (my last RX got one every 3000) I wonder what this will be.

So - the question is - anyone seen a service schedule ?

Thanks -

The warranty is like the other Mazdas -- 4 years/50k miles.

As per the service schedules... nobody knows yet

I read on a couple of websites that the warranty in the UK will be 3 year/36,000 miles. I think that is what the dealer quoted me as well.

Don't know anything about the service schedule I'm afraid.

I was wondering about this today- with the current warranty war going on with the different brands(in the US, at least), do you think Mazda might decide to up the warranty limits at all? 48 months/50k miles isn't bad at all, but with other companies offering as much as 72 months/100k miles, you'd think they'd take note and start offering a bit more too.
