It's BAAAAAAAAD.

We're talking about short shifting under 4k RPM and easy acceleration, and STILL only able to get 300km per 60L at MOST.

Highway driving, maybe 350km. :eek5r:

RE-Jo 02-17-2009 10:03 PM

is it 6 speed? man i totally regret getting an auto :P
what colour is it? i've seen a rx8 with a metalic blue colour, looks nice~

roastpuff 02-17-2009 10:09 PM

Congrats! I'm wanting a RX-8 myself... though probably not new. Need better paying job. :(

Check out rx8club for a great RX-8 community. :)

Hope to join you soon...

People are averaging about 450-500+ kms on highway trips, 300-350 around town, I think, on RX8club. YMMV, of course, especially in winter.

That red leather interior is HOT.

Culture_Vulture 02-17-2009 10:10 PM

congrats Tim :)

That's 20L/100km?? That's insane for a japanese sport car...

I can't afford 30g's for a new car, considering I have a part-time job and am full-time student who doesn't want loans. :cry:

Maybe after I graduate, my own gift to me. Meanwhile I'll just drool over other RX-8's and tell myself "Some day, some day!"

Thanks for the info though. :thumbsup:

Official specs from Mazda is:

With manual transmission (6MT): City = 12.8L/100km, Highway = 9.2L/100km
With automatic transmission (6AT): City = 13.3L/100km, Highway = 8.9L/100km

The whole fuel economy thing is overblown, honestly.

!Aznboi128 02-17-2009 10:57 PM

orange7 02-17-2009 11:03 PM
