Hello from Northampton!
Hi, just joined the forum as I'm looking to buying an RX8. Whilst I'm new to RX8s, I've owned a Mk2.5 MX5 for the last 10 years and have enjoyed tinkering with that a lot during that time. I've got 2 young kids so arguments are ensuing over turns round the block so thought time to get a 4 seater weekend car! Had a bit of a look round the forum and there's a lot of useful info even for non-members - really appreciate the buyers guide you've put up there as that has been useful for the couple of cars I've looked at so far. Also looks like there are some members /meet ups in my area.
So hello all from Northampton
Steve

Re: Hello from Northampton!
Hi Steve,
Welcome to the forum and I can reliably say that the RX-8 is the nearest thing to a 4 seater sports car that you can get.
Does everything and sometimes more than a 2 seater
Regards
Pete

Re: Hello from Northampton!
Possibly obvious but the rear seats have Isofix mounts.
Welcome to the forum and hopefully soon to the owners club too.

Re: Hello from Northampton!
Even more so considering what I paid for the one that’s been “asleep” for 7 years!
