So I heard about this event, signed up online....and went into Northfield Mazda (Kitchener, ON) today with my sister...

She tried out a Mazda 3, and I of course had to try the 2010 Rx8..

Lucky for me they had one there...and the top of the line Rs? model....Pretty sweet car with Factory Body Kit, 19" wheels, Recaro seats, etc.....

Needles to say it was a nice car, but too luxury for me. Less is More when it comes to me, and likely most of you guys here, hence why we like rx7's

BUT.......for all of you...

Go to a Mazda dealer, test drive a car, and they pay you 25, 50 or 100 bucks no strings attached I was completely honest telling the sales guy that I wasn't planning on buying a new rx8, but was just taking Mazda up on their offer. He was fine with that.

So go everyone to Mazda and get paid to drive a new car!!!

I got lucky with the rx8 as it is a mild day today. I was told they aren't letting the rx8 go on the road if the conditions are not decent.

I got a few cell phone pics that i'll probably upload soon.

P.S. Happy New Year

 

Good deal. I just got my code for Saturday's test drive. I'm gonna get my wife to do the same.

 

my best pic...sorry for the quality. cell phone

i also got a pic of the engine. we had to stop for gas and i took the plastic cover off the engine for a pic

 

Hope you signed up to drive a Rx-8. I wonder if they will still offer this in the spring. Take in my Rx-4 and see what they would give me on a trade.

 

I hope you are joking..

Keep the rx4!!!!!

 

link?

 

just go to mazda.ca.

Oh he's definitely keeping the 4! Our local Mazda dealership in Owen Sound is crap. I'd love to see the look on their faces at an RX4 rolling onto the lot with Buggy demanding to see their microfiche and having a compression test. They wouldn't know what hit 'em.

 

I posted this a little while ago. I went to the dealership on my lunch break. The guy asked if I really wanted to drive the cars and I said not really ( I kind of did but I didn't have too much time). We went in his office and we completed the documents. I will be getting the $25 card.

 

Thanks for this. Signed up today. Offer expires January 4th.

 

Let's do it! That's what they get for giving me crappy prices on parts. The Rx-4 will never leave my sight. It would just be funny to see what they would have to say.

 

This is pretty awesome, but I wish I had read about it two days ago...there's quite a bit of snow on the roads and more falling right now, doubt they'd let me drive an RX8 in this

 

hmmm, this is awesome! I already signed up for it, but I don't know if I will have the time to go, since it ends tomorrow at 11:59pm! But anyways...was it a test drive around the block, or did they set up some sort of a course with pylons for us to drive around?

 

It would be a road test, the same as if you wanted the purchase the car.

 

I walked into Probart Mazda asking about some parts for my '76 Cosmo. The parts desk guy was like "A what?".

 

I suspect I'll get something of the same reaction, especially when they see it roll up going BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP!
