How come this car never gets mentioned on here? I didnt know it existed until i was on mazda site looking at RX8`s 
On paper it looks like a monster, any views/experiences of this car?

Think they look boring as fuck, but they are supposed to be pretty handy. Would never buy one.

joe you seen one with the aero kit m8, looks good imo despite the 5dr thing.
think they are 260bhp, looks like an animal and well specced to, think nice BOSE sound system as well.
lol this might enter the next potential car thread, still researching it.

found a nice little review, not a great chassis by current hot hatch standards but much improved with the aero kit.
certainly a straight line stormer.
