New Mazda RX-8 Impresses Duncan Shoppers

June 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Enjoy driving through the city or on the open roads in a new 2011 Mazda RX-8, a two-door coupe with incredible style and performance capabilities. Unlike tiny sports cars, the RX-8 is a functional four-seater with rear-hinged doors that open towards the front of the car creating a wide, convenient opening for loading and unloading of the back seat. Drivers and passengers alike are sure to fall in love with the 2011 RX-8 available at the leading Mazda dealer near Duncan.

Sporting four comfortable bucket seats, the new 2011 RX-8 blends luxury details with functional amenities including available leather-trimmed seating surfaces and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink capability. The interior also utilizes a unique rotary engine theme, with the rotor motif most evident in the seatbacks and the manual shift knob. A top-of-the-line, 9-speaker Bose® audio system is standard on all models, and includes an AM/FM stereo with 6-disc in-dash CD changer and convenient steering wheel mounted audio controls.

The fun RX-8 is fuel-efficient too, averaging 13.3 L/100km in the city and 8.9 L/100km on the highway. Rear wheel drive and a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution complete the new model’s incredible performance package.
