Rachel Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Congratulations - it'll grow on you. As for dealers, well that famous phrase from the TV show "House M.D." springs to mind: Everybody lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxyboy Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 rx8 is a fantastic motor but more and more lately i've found that to really enjoy it you have to be in the mood...if your not on the ball with it, it is easy to get caught out and end up lookin stupid by an 18 year old in a diesel lupo....so yes...torque will be nice...just hope the vw after sales are as spot on as mazda have been..really wish vw done a blu tooth option instead of the phone cradle thing too...

Woppum Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 They are very different cars. My brother has a 230 RX8 and is VERY jealous of my Mk4. We both feel it is much faster and much more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulboy Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 There is nothing to look out for really - except the bottle opener. Dont expect much from the after sales as it seems most VW dealers aren't usually that good. However, you wont be that bothered cause you will be too busy grinning as you blast off effortlessly to the howling wail of the V6 (no more milk float sound sorry ) Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
