But not the 8 you think.........

Sold my Sti7 12 days ago (yes on Scoobynet!), and was sorry to see her go as it was a great car.



However, picked up my new RX-8 the same day and havent looked back since. It is a fantastic overall package, and I love it to bits!

Only just run in and still taking it fairly easy, but for a car which such a great ride quality the handling feels really sharp.

Seems really eager to turn in, and there's load of grip, though I have teased the back end out a little (with DSC on) under power

All in all very happy.

The only negative if there is one is that fuel consumption is only about the same as my STi7 was.
