I just want to thank those whoever helped me in my RX-8 troubles as well as conversing about various topics. I traded in my RX-8 this weekend.

This isn't me being like haha... my stupid 8 is gone. I know sometimes when people make these threads they have negative connotations.

By the way, I traded it in towards an interest free Saturn Sky Redline.

I just wish I could have sold it to someone I KNOW would have appreciated it. It's funny though because they gave me more for it on trade than anyone offered me while I was selling it for cash.





Snuck the Civic in there for the haters.

 

Congrats on the Redline - nice car.

I read thru some of your recent posts and couldn't find the reason you sold?

Feel free to pop in and post, just because you don't own the car doesn't mean you can't be active.

 

I like your new car as well. Just not enough space for me as an only car. But as a second car, whoa, what a looker and a lot of fun. Good luck

 

I looked into the Redline as well. I love the wicked **** end of those things. Enjoy your new ride, post pics and stay in touch!

 

congrats man.... the Redline is a pretty fun car to drive,,, and looks really good to. the only gripe I have with it is the horrible fitment of the canvas top, It just looks silly,,, ,I havent looked into it but there has to be an aftermarket hard top for it

 

Congrats. The Sky Redline is a very capable package and is one of the better looking cars for sale these days.

 

Congrats, be sure to post a pic or two. Definitely a nice convertible.

 

Sky is cool lookin car. I like the sharp lines rather than the smooth ones on the Solstice. The new Solstice Coupe looks badass though. Would be sweet if the Sky had hard top option out there.

 

I will. And I will post pics very very soon.

 

Congrats! My girlfriend pretty much disliked american designed cars until I told her to look at the saturn sky.

 

Yeah, BIG typo!

Quote - look at the skyline.

Why not the MX-5 out of curiosity?

 

i was interested in the pontiac solstice until i saw the absolutely horrible fitment of the convertible top.

other than that the solstice/sky are really nice cars. congrats.

 

a fast little car.. curb weight of 3k (almost identical to an 8) but with 260hp at 5400rpm.. yum.

 

260 HP and 0% Interest

And I fit... I'm 6'3 and don't look retarded in it.

Don't get me wrong, I like the mx-5. I think it's quite attractive.

 

Dude... you have no idea...

 

I wanted a convertible 2 seater.

Don't get me wrong, I still love RX-8's and I still love Mazda. But these two cars address my needs/wants better.

Let us know how real-world mileage is. Assuming you can keep your foot out of it!

 

I'm averaging 22 so far with lots of topless action. There's a constant MPG avg and instant MPG indicator in the HUD. It's 28 on the highway which I'm giddy about.

It is hard to not wanna feel that rush each time I get in... Wow that thing is fast.

Since people seem really interested, I'll make sure to post pics tonight.

And by the way, I think the top is better than people are saying here. I also like that its not power. Less things to break and saves weight.

 

no, it really is that bad. i replaced the convertible top (will never do that again, nor do i recommend it) on my previous car. im keenly aware of fitment on tops now.

that wrinkling on the trailing edge is just horrible. thats just downright bad engineering.

 

Hmm... mine doesn't look like that. Perhaps they tinkered it for the '08's?

 

That is a great car that you bought. I got the chance to test the acceleration of my 8 against a Redline Sky about six months ago, and it was almost as fast as the 8 on that day. If I were in the market for a convertible, I would be plunking down the money right behind you. Nice deal too! Enjoy.

 

I meant to get those pics... I will today real talk.
