Talking last set of Pict of the RX8

I traded my Rx8, for a better, more convinient, economic, and faster SE-R.

We have only had the car for a week but I already love it. The car feels real good the interior is sweet all black w/sport racing seats. Acceleration is fabolous and the cvt does a great job to keep the RPM in the right place when you needed. The only drawback is after I test drove the Specs-V. I wish my wife knew how to drive standard so we could off gotten the Specs-V. Same drawback I had when I purchased the 8 in 2003
Here is the SE-R












Some pictures of the RX8 the night before I trade it in. She wont be missed but never forgotten

Noooooooooooooooo, go back the the dealership, they sold you a box on wheels.

On a more serious note that Sentra looks a little like the Dodge Caliber.

I don't particularly like the looks of it for anything "sporty", as for some reason it reminds me of the newer accents.

But a CVT transmission? that sucks man. Not only do you probably sound like a lawnmower, but i've found they are unreliable and EXPENSIVE when something goes wrong. It is interesting how you punch the gas and stay pretty much in the same rpm without any shifting, but after about 20k the cvt started making gawdly noises that just wont go away... apparantly its "normal"

yeah, this is definitely a joke.

a sentra? rofl!

if he wanted to downgrade for a bit more speed, he shoulda gotten a MS3.

The sad thing is the redesign makes it look like a fugly prius, with 12" wheels.



Anyway, it's clear Dova was never interested in speed. His upgrades was 35 lbs chrome 20" rims, tint, and the xmen spoiler.

Is this guy f!@#ing serious... please tell me he's not serious. An upgrade what a joke. That particular se-r is the shittiest of all the generations. Heard nothing but bad things about them. Skibity bop! And they are extremely ugly, he's definetly missing his 8, AT or not!! The 8 is far superior.. Dova, I'll entertain a response now... or is to late and you jumped ship to the "shitty Sentra" forums ouch!! oh and by the way, it will always be just a Sentra.. double ouch!!

imagine the gall to pick the slowest possible RX-8, then weight it down with huge heavy rims, then complain about it being slow

I don't want to insult him if he's happy with his new purchase....

but seriously....

I don't care how creative a photographer gets with the angles, that sentra is NOT doing it in the looks department.

Your new car is horrible looking but have fun with the good gas mileage.
I guess you can frown 99% of the time while owning it and smile at the gas pump.

What a bunch of F A G S !!!

How could they do that? Especially the Sentra guy...holy crap! It's like a toaster on wheels...

Bad decision. I'll never trade my 8...ever.

I get stopped DAILY and am told..."Sick car man..."
That would never happen with a Sentra...lol!
