I just called Mazda Customer service... and they haven't heard about the "buy-back, 500$ etc" that will be available to our american friends.

The representative will try to get more infos and phone me asap..

He, maybe all canadian 8 do have the 247hp advertised! Nahh... compare to my TT, (180hp+chip), my 8 seems barely faster... let's talk about 215hp.. not 247.. not even 238.

Hope to get some news soon!

 

i'll be calling my dealer today as well, i want to keep the car but 500$ (or more as it is in cdn $ ) plus free service would help counteract the price of fuel that is soooooo ridiculously high in quebec. how much is it in Q city?

 

By the way... when I explained the problem to the representative (wrong hp) he said:

"Just like the Miata... they'll never learn"

 

Do you know what was the deal offered to the miata owners at that time?

 

Hi F1michel,

In Quebec city it's 89,5 for the regular, not sure about the premium since I made my last fill-up just before the price increase, but it must be around 0.97$

Even by driving like my granny (shifting at 3k, 1-3-5-6 to maintain the rev around 2-2.5k) I had all the trouble to make 90km with a 1/4 tank!!!

Oh well.. will see!

 

No idea about the deal for miata's owners, but I think (from what I read in another thread) that it was about the same deal as the one propose for the 8 (buy-back, some cash)

 

I found reference to it on the web and it was identical to the RX8 deal. The problem I see with it is $500 USD is NOT $500 CDN, and 4 yrs maintenance is not 3 yrs! GRRR

 

I agree Wing, it should be more like 700$ cash. The 3 year warranty is something i doubt they would change.

TT, i filled up in the Asbestos area yesterday and it was at .76$ regular. I was amazed as it was .89$ in Mtl.

 

The Miata deal was $1500 CDN and Free Maintenance for length of orginal MFG Warranty
