I'm sure y'all have heard and seen this car around the blocks.

It also sports a new engine design ... a Renesis rotary engine.

I am not really a car guy, but my friend told me only yesterday that Mazdas are giving a full refund to purchasers of the Mazda RX8 due to some technical malfunction of the engine.

How true is that?

thats not true, because the RX8 sales have actually booming!
well the RX8 's engine is something new and u will always hear romours of it NOT being succesful, the new rotary engine has been thru intense testing and it has proven 2 be more efficient then the normal engine.

well but u know how omans market is so they jack up the price its all supply and demand i doubt theyre going 2 keep alot of stock of the car they would probably bring them like in 10's and see how they sell like the VW 4motion they brought only 10 and they all sold out like hotcakes ;) i would know i got the 1st one ;)

the V6 GTI the 1's taht r US spec are 180bhp and its FWD tehy are called VR6
but the V6 4MOTION is 204bhp and 4wheel drive with a 6speed manual gearbox (doesnt come in auto)
but the new GTI's come with 200bhp but r still slower due to the FWD against 4wd :)
