thanks for the heads up?

 

[HotSnatch]

What year? How long have you had it? How many miles? What type of weather has it endured? Do you auto-x?

 

[Hyun]

07 but made in oct 06 or something. no auto x. Georgia weather (really nice with no snow year round), 31k

I will donate this car once i hit jackpot at biloxi. (cool)

 

[Babyface13]

Where in Ga are you located?

 

[Moultese]

Sucks. What kind of rental you getting? Get something sporty and tear it up.

 

[Circle9]

Yea, where in GA are you at? Which dealership did you buy your Speed at?

You know, you shouldn't wait for them to try and fix 10 things in one shot. Most of the time, they'll just say "Could Not Duplicate" since your service write up looks like a dinner order. Check, check, and check! "Can't find the rattle? K, no problem, what's the next issue.."

When you go every so often with those little issues in mind, they can focus on it and make sure they find the problem rather than being bombarded with a bunch of stuff that has to be fixed in somewhat of a timely fashion.

Just my .02 from my previous service experiences.

Good point. (2thumbs)

Hopefully they see that im somewhat loyal customer. Bought the car there, done all my service there, even referred couple of my friends (i actually talked them into buying rx-8).(drive2)

which would be very helpful if you just happened to be doing some home iprovement stuff and needed a truck to get something. Sure beats home dpot's 19.95/hour truck (naughty)

 

[Hyun]

but i have to go biloxi this weekend. 380mile trip one way
Something like honda accord would be perfect...

 

[GoFast]

yes that would be a lot better in that situation.


on a side note, sorry about having to go to biloxi

I'd rather drive a Fit or Yaris than a truck, I just have never understood people's love for them.

I almost bought a RX-8 from Rick Case Mazda, but it was too slow for me and they didn't have any Speed3's at the time.

When i was popping U turn, it wasnt slow for me at all lol (drive)

 

[Circle9]

They do corner very well, but not much fun at the drags

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

RX-8's sound like science projects when they start up. It's like a huge gyro or something.

But i'll tell you what, they're fantastic for handling. They are incredibly smooth and the gear box is like butter.

The Z is also similar in handling.

Hyun,

I Thought That I Had A Rattle In My Door (used Car). We Looked Everywhere Took Everything Apart It Was Very Hard To Figure Out Where It Was . Finally Took Out Seat ,woofer And Shook Out 1.08$ Worth Of Change Haven't Had A Rattle Since.

 

[Babyface13]

All you guys on the east coast need to get on board with the EECMM!!!

Anyway I am sorry to hear about your troubles and hope all gets better!

Let us know if they fix the speaker rattle. After more than 30k miles, I really don't see them repairing it.
