This Year's Model Updates:

The RX-8 is an all-new car for 2004. Its arrival marks the return of Mazda's rotary engine to the U.S. market. Priced less than Nissan's 350Z, the RX-8 also offers four doors and a usable backseat.

Pros:
  • Low base price, agile handling yet still comfortable enough for daily use, room for four in a pinch.
Cons:
  • Option packages can get expensive, iffy interior ergonomics.

    Ive had mine for two weeks now, and it is great fun to drive. Doesnt hurt that my golf clubs fit in the trunk without a problem too. Its more practical, and a way better value than any other car in this class. A little more civilized than the RX-7 was.

  • RX8 NEWCOMER IS ALL ITS CRACKED UP TO BE - 2004 Mazda RX-8

    THE RX8 IS A TRUE AUTOMOTIVE LEAP IN TECHNOLOGY, FROM THE COMPUTER MAPPING SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS ALL ENGINE FUNCTIONS TO THE MORE OBVIOUS, AWARD WINNING ROTOR ENGINE DESIGN. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND ANYONE INTERESTED, THAT CAN APPRECIATE A BALANCE OF ROAD HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS, THAT MAKES THE RX8 A BLAST TO DRIVE! THE THING IS PRACTICAL TOO... AND THATS WHAT CONVINCED ME IT WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE OUT THERE. THE FRAME TECHNOLOGY TO RETAIN THE RIGIDITY W/O A DOOR PILLAR BETWEEN THE TWO DOORS EXEMPLIFIES THE TIME AND MONEY THAT WENT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS FINELY CRAFTED CAR. ALL I CAN SAY, IS.... ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF HER!!!

  • THE GREAT RX-8 - 2004 Mazda RX-8

    I LOVE MY RX-8 AND HAVE NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT. THE RIDE IS LIKE NO OTHER SPORTS CAR, AND THE SOUND OF THE RENESIS ENGINE JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO RUN THE CAR AS HARD AS YOU CAN. THE PERFECT 50/50 DITRUBUTION MAKES THE RX-8 JUST HUG THE GROUND AND CORNERS.

  • I love this Car - 2004 Mazda RX-8

    I was up in Seattle visiting my Mother (I live in California). I seen the lease price of zero down and $299 a month, and decided to check it out. I was not in the market for a new car, but after test driving it I fell in love. I bought it that day, ate the return airplane ticket and drove it home. The trip home was great (and fast). The car corners great, and has plenty of power. Its simply a great car.

  • u cant beat the rx8 - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    i bought the car last month, after some very serious research. I analyzed the G35, 350Z, 2005 Mercedes 230 Kompressor, volvo S40 T5 and Audi A4. (i test drove all of them). Here is why the RX 8 is the best. The RX 8 combines, comfort (very smooth ride), performance (wait until you rev that thing to 8000+ rpm), value (great price for what u get), design (its just a beauty from every angle), and the most important it is unique, there is nothing out there like the RX8 you cant even compare the engine with other cars. let me put it this way, if you want to add fun to your day to day driving, the rx 8 is the car for you. if you want to be like everybody else the RX8 is not for u
