This will be my first winter with the 8. Ordering my all-seasons in November. This thing is FWD right? So I shouldn't have a problem.



I heard about the rain at Sevenstock. Sorry guys.

That's match point right there.... also would have accepted heated mirrors, rear defroster and the fact the temp **** has a red section for hot air.... AND also the manual mentions winter driving.

uggh it gets so cold in my RX while driving, I think I'm going to need to put some cardboard in front of the Rad.

Did you know that the "Mazda RX-8 safest from rollover"....

From a 2004 article, but still good to know for winter driving on the highways when your starting to slide sideways on the ice...

Heated seats where not an option we splurged on.. Most of my experiences with them is, by the time they warm up, the car is just about warmed up too, so whats the point?
