I don't mean to bash the Auto RX-8 in any way, it is in fact still a great car. I am simply stating why I feel the Manual makes more sense to me.

KK: I just wanna see you back in an RX-8 man, I dont care if it's a Manual or an Auto as long as it goes ZOOM ZOOM

speaking of brakes, henry from 626 meet said that auto-zone has duralex ceramic brakes for rx-8 that come with lifetime WEAR warranty. u take the worn ones into the store, they give u new pads- that's it. he said that he's tracked with his FC on those pads and they performed very well. and, his brother's already gone back to autozone more than once to get the brake pads exchanged for his rx-8, and they never gave him any hassle & just swapped them out on the spot. the icing on the cake is they are something like $35~$40 a set only. so u buy 2 sets, and you're set for life?!

i am truly amazed. anyone else know about this?

Honestly, its sad when i know more about a dealership's inventory than a salesperson that works at that dealership... ******* romero mazda...

I went there 2 weeks ago, test drove a manual (tan in color) rx8. i call them yesterday, talk to troy (a ******* dipshit that wants to waste my time) and i ask him if they have an 2009 auto rx8s in stock, he says yes. I tell him "Troy, i know there is a tan one there, i want to test drive an auto 2009 rx8" he says Yeah, come down, i got a couple here...

I go to the dealership, all thats sitting there is the tan manual 09 rx8 that i test drove a few weeks ago, and an 08 40th anniversary 08.

******* dealership.
i'm glad im not purchasing from them.
