-Urethane foam-filled front suspension cross member ideally suppresses the engine's vibrations, delivering high-quality Zoom-Zoom steering.
The car has been well taken care of while I've had it. Has just gone to Werner Mazda in Manchester, NH (where it was also bought from) for an oil change at 2700 miles.
I'm 6'0 and fit perfectly in this car, I know alot of tall people don't think they could enjoy this car, but you're wrong, there's still a couple inches to go. Everything about this car is crisp. You sit in the seat and FEEL like you're a part of the car. Shifter is short and precise, the seat's bolsters keep you perfectly in. The aluminum pedals give it that race car feel. The steering wheel is perfectly at your reach with all the audio and cruise controls at your hand. There is plenty of storage space in the trunk believe it or not, and I've had 2 good size adults in the back seat without any problems. The free-style doors do wonders for the aesthetics of the car and always have people asking questions. This car trully is unique and I think anyone can appreciate it. My last tank I got 16 miles to the gallon with mixed city and highway driving. The car hasn't been to a race track or anything (none of them are open in the winter). And, of course, the warranty 60k/60yrs on the powertrain.
The original stock 18" wheels have been sold. But the sticky summer Dunlop tires (225/45-18) will come with the car and the tire pressure monitoring system sensors. On the car now are a set of 17" Lucca wheels with brand new winter tires on them (225/45-17). Also will be coming with a set of 17x8.5 Enkei RPF1 (16lbs each!) and Toyo RA1 R Comp Tires (255/40-17) with 6/32 of tread left. Wheels are $1000 new and tires around $600 (since there's only 80% tread left). Because the tpms sensors would not go onto the Lucca wheels, the tire monitor light is on on the dash. But this WILL go away when they are put on the Enkei's.
Also, the car has a few aftermarket parts on it.
-K&N Typhoon Intake Kit $300
-HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust $450
-RX8 Store Resonated Race Pipe $280
All of the old parts I still have as well.
This car does not disappoint whatsoever. It isn't a high horsepower car, but the suspension is absolutely amazing and DEFINITELY makes up for it! It will always put a grin from ear to ear on your face.
And obviously being so new (picked it up about 3 months ago), everything is in perfect working order with no problems whatsoever.
This is the 40th Anniversary Edition car and only 1000 were sold here in the US. If it's like the 10th anniversary RX7, this car will hold it's value for sure if it's in the hands of a respectful owner and always maintained well. I'd like to get rid of the car so that I can save up for a house truthfully, but I'm not forced to sell the car. In my opinion this car is and will always be a part of rotary, RX8 and Mazda history.
Please e-mail me or pm me if interested and I will give you my phone number if need be. I don't need any trades whatsoever, just need the money to pay the bank off at this point.
