The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

Rotary provides a nearly flat tourque range to 9K rpm, although a bit under powered -- gotta keep the revs very high -- but that is fun! see full Mazda RX-8 review |
