After all the problems with the American cars and the lack of information from Mazda I have decided to cancel my order and buy an Audi TT.

I went onto the website and the button for canceling seems to have disappeared in the last couple of days. I phoned the helpline and someone was supposed to ring me back that was six hours ago. This just adds to bad impression I have got of Mazdas customer service.

Anyway good luck to all those who are expecting their cars soon. I may still get an RX8 but sometime next year when I have seen and driven it.

2nd hand or low powered TT for same money, not best value for money either I am afraid. I have one for sale and most report are suggesting the 8 is the better (certainly more fun) car.

Understand your decision though (nearly did the same myself), hopefully you wil come back later.

It's the new 150 BHP roadster and the thing that clinched the deal was 5 days till delivery.

Still waiting to hear when I will get my deposit back though.

Ewww, 5 days for delivery...says it all.

Sorry to say, but I've driven the 225TT and I wasnt that impressed, quick for sure, but no feedback, point and go.

The 150 is niether quick nor 4 wheel drive, I dont understand, why not just buy a leon cupraR or something?

I've already had a Leon and fancied a convertible. The 150 TT can be chipped to give 220BHP for very little money. The delivery is so short because I bought the one from the showroom.

The first year depreciation is only 19% which should let me change to an RX8 next year without losing to much money.

Good Luck to you. Hop you have some good weather to lower your roof.

I considered the TT, but its a victim of its own success, there's just toooooo many of them on the roads.

There may be a few of us following in your footsteps if we don't get delivery dates in the next few days. (sadly)

I, personally, would have opted for the S2000 .... it's got a look about it that reminds me of the RX-8 and we all know it's quicker on the race track ....

BUT .... I need the back seats, so I'm sticking out for the more rare and just as much fun 8 ... for now anyway

now that i've driven it I'm not too bothered when I get it, Just as long as I do get it.

I went to the Audi garage before going to see Mazda about the 8 to have one last look at the TT.

Although I knew I could get one quickly I just couldn't justify the price & was only getting 2 seats.

It makes the wait worthwhile for me knowing that there is nothing else out in the market place that does what the 8 does.

Just received the RX8 brochure this morning. I think if it had arrived a couple of days early I might have been able to wait for a test drive.
