Picked up 07 Fri.

I took our new rx-8 home Friday. This is one of best cars I have ever driven. The car is so easy to drive. I am real good friends with a tech that has been working for mazda fo over 20 years. He said the only real problems they have seen is the some 04 engines needing to be replaced. Take care of the car and it will take care of you!

congrats on the purchase, you're going to love the car. As long as all of the recalls have been done on an '04 engine (especially the 4206f recall that came out last year) there should be no issues with the engine as long as it has been taken care of.

What color? Grand Touring Edition? Manual or Automatic? Any pics?

To the new one

Welcome to the wonderful world of rotors. I just got my 8 two months ago and love it. This site contains everything you could ever want to know about the 8. Make sure you search the threads before asking too many questions because people will definitely "flame" on you if you don't. Enjoy your new ride.

Congrats. Why doesn't Mazda just call it X-Men Blue Mica? It's the same colour as the one in X2 right?
