Best. Drive. Ever.

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: An amazing value, especially for sports car buyers who prioritize handling and require a usable rear seat.
Review: Flying up a tight uphill turn on WV-16 with the RX-8's rotary engine shrieking like a superbike's through 8000 RPM in second, the car sinking ever lower to the road as the lateral g's climbed, it hit me: this is the most amazing car I've ever...

The Mazda RX8 A Four Door Sports Coupe

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: The automatic should appeal to those not caring much about speed but still want that sports car feeling and looks, while the manual is strictly for sports car purists.
Review: The Question is, will Mazda start a trend with it's new four seat, four door sports car?

A LITTLE HISTORY

Seventeen years ago Jeep started a automobile revolution when they introduced the four door Jeep Cherokee in the late 80s...

The Renesis Powered, Rotary Marvel.

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: A car that requires a little extra attention, but well worth it. Mazda really said: "A sports car like no other". It really is. Live. Love. Drive.
Review: Like many, I find myself living in a day in age where there is a completely new genre of crossbred, unlabeled vehicles out there. The line between SUVs and Minivans are starting to blur rather drastically, whilst other categories such as sedans and...

Outstanding Car

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: The best car I've ever owned. So far no problems with it, but I've only had it a few months.
Review: I am completely in love with this car. I won't repeat the well known stuff about the rotary engine and the superb handling and all. I'd just like to address some of the complaints that you sometimes hear about the car, because they were things I...

Half a year with the RX-8

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2006
The Bottom Line: With the poor gas mileage I am hard pressed to recommend this car unless the cost of gas means nothing to you.
Review: Here is the real storey on this car warts and all. I have a GT 6 spd.

On the plus side this is an excellent performing car. It has very good balance and will not bite you when pushed. Rode manors are also very good with a good quality ride...

I'm having fun!

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want to have fun driving. Don't buy it if you are overly concerned about gas costs or need to put a lot in your trunk.
Review: I bought my 2005 Mazda RX-8 from a private party. It was one-year old with about 15,000 miles. It is the Shinka version (6-speed) with every option except the navigation package. I have not subscribed to Sirius satellite radio which the previous...

The rotary legend sings again

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: It's one of the best cars in this price range, the only thing that can compare is the 350z.
Review: Introduction:
Well, this comes to my second ever car review. It's been a while since I've owned my Protege, and for what "we" needed at the time it has served it's purpose. But now I'm looking more specifically for a car for myself. To explain...

Dont flood the engine!

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you do not take care of rotary engine, you will pay for it! It requires TLC or it will be in shop! EXTEND YOUR WARRANTY ITS VERY WORTH IT!!
Review: I purchased a 2005 Mazda rx8 about a month ago. It was purchased from a friend of the family and had about 41,175 miles on it. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR! The inside and outside style is beautiful, it has a great sound system, great ride, I LOVE the car...

Sweet Car

Date of Review:  May 2, 2005
Review: I love this car. I bought one 3 months ago and it is fun to drive and looks great. I have a black one with the Grand Touring Package and manual transmission. The cars best driving feature is cornering. I have taken 90 degree turns at 50mph and there...

Just about the most fun Mom-Car you can have!

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2005
Review: I was in the market for an Audi TT Quattro Coupe to replace my Audi A4 Quattro. But after driving the RX8, I was hooked: Totally fun, cute, zippy, AND still has a sun-roof! Also, the navigation in the Mazda is better than the Audi's. Fully loaded...
