Got my RX 8 today!

Picked up the car about 3:00 in Bracebridge.
Looks awesome! Drives - well,............ there aren't enough words to describe it!
Unbelievable! The Winning blue is great, gets lot of attention.

First observations, similar to others I've read, smoooooth, love that distinct rotory sound!

Headroom is very marginal with the Moonroof, especially on the passenger side (seat doesn't have height adjustment)

Happy with the interior quality, and it handles like it's on rails.
135 kmh on the highway,oops thought it was only about 110!

Ride is fine, sound system is good.

The break in period is going to be a long next few days!

Trust me those break in miles go fast. I'm already past 750 miles in 4 days and the smile on my face gets bigger and bigger.
