Hello everyone, I read the sticky regarding yr by yr changes, but wanted some opinions on which year to purchase. Not much diff in price btwn 06 and 07's, probably due to economy, and I know I'd get one yr of additional warranty with an 07, but are there any known major differences that should point me toward an 07? I really wanted rear curtain (head airbags) in the back rear seats, and I think that happened in 06, and I don't think 07 had additional safety features?

Thoughts on 06 vs. 07.

Also, saw some white Shinka's out here, 2006's, with white suede like seats. Has anyone had problems keeping these clean? Did the regular cloth seats go to a alcantra or suede-like material in 2006 and up?

Thanks for your input. Hope to join the Rx8 group soon.

I dont' believe there is any differnce at all..(I though all 8's had rear curtain airbags) as for the seats(mine are cloth and grey) I never had any prob keeping them clean but i also do not ever give them the chance to get dirty!!! I would go for newer just for the warranty issue of beinge longer....Good luck and happy searching...
