Wow, that's a little scary. I drove one on Saturday and thought it was very easy to handle besides being a beautiful car. I think this guy is trying to get attention. Of all the reviews I've read, I think this one has an element of bovine scatology when it comes to being unforgiving.

Yeah I agree, I think maybe he's never driven RWD before, and maybe he tested it in the rain?

I take it that was Mr Duarte's first review since he got sacked by 'What Motorhome'

hope he likes walking cause it sounds like a bus would be too hot for him.

I think, perhaps, that he never drove it- just made up some random bullsh*t that he thought sounded good. Or maybe he's just got some mental issues...?

Free driving course from Mazda? Not from my dealer here in Canada. But I will have to take a MANDATORY driver safety course in September because the RX-8 will be my company car and they're paying for the insurance...if I ever actually receive it, that is ("estimated delivery: mid-June" and counting).
