Mazda RX-8 (2008) 231BHP 6 speed - Stormy Blue, 57,500 Miles, Excellent Condition I have owned this car since 2014.

Its superb to drive with its 50/50 weight distribution and rear wheel drive LSD and traction control. Everything works as it should it starts stops and goes as it should, it has been 100% reliable and a joy to drive and own. The Bose sound system is particularly impressive. RX8's are rare and becoming quite collectable now, especially in this meticulously maintained condition

Reluctant sale due the purchase of an Audi S3 convertible.
