I put a deposit on a Mazda RX-8 in January with full intent of changing my STi.

I think it is a fantastic looking car and love the design, shape, unique features, rotary engine and high spec.

It was billed as 240ps, 1300kg, 0-60 in 6.0, £22,000 and available in July.

It now seems that it is only 231ps, 1374kg, 0-68 in 6.8, and not available until September. To top it all What Car show depreciation of £8000 in the first year (How do they know?)

I have come to the decision that this is a bad move and I would be much better off keeping and modding my STi....

Therefore, I am now back into the scooby fold and I can see a PPP , 18"s and Prodrive springs on the horizon for starters.....

 

GOOD MAN........

 

I am not sure about the MX8 yet, have'nt seen enough pics yet to be fair though, but from what I see I would prefer the MX7 with the right body kit and rear wing.
