Overall I like the design though, for a new car.
I have a friend and he does have a RX8 with those paddle shifters, It sucks, a lot, but that's on the RX8!! This shifter is a lot faster, just like the VW's and Ferraris I'm pretty sure!! And one of the reasons why the mazda sucks it's cuz the auto version with the shifter behind the wheel is 40hp short compared to the stick!!
