The Mazda RX-8 is a truly understated car. Once you sort out some of the issues, you see how awesome handling of a car the RX-8 is. In all honesty, it’s one of the best driving stock cars I have ever experienced. Combine that with a subtle yet elegant interior, the car makes for a wonderful car to live with on a daily basis and that is exactly why I picked this one up. The Shinka edition is basically Grand Touring trim, but with special Parchment leather interior, re-valved shocks and a urethane filled subframe for additional rigidity.
