The original RX-8 imo is one of the best cars ever. I like the new rear lights and also that Mazda have only made subtle modifications to an already great car.

Agree we need pictures :lol:

Photos and review to follow.

The R3 is definitely a great motor - I previously tested the Mk 1 hi & low power versions and the UK only PZ - which was very impressive. For my mind the R3 is taking the PZ improvements and some new styling to give a car which is very good. I've thoroughly enjoyed my 8 days with the car and was sad to see it leave this morning.

I spent last Thursday at Milbrook testing allsorts of motors - including the new 5.2-litre R8 and the Nissan GTR and after all that got back into the Rx8 to drive home and wasn't dissapointed !
