Overview & Reviews

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.

• Low base price, agile handling yet still comfortable enough for daily use, room for four in a pinch.

• Option packages can get expensive, iffy interior ergonomics.

  Rotary fun - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By RochesterX8 - January 10 - 10:00 am

  I have 4k on my Rx8. Love every minute except a particularly nasty March snowstorm here in Rochester NY. get snows or a winter beater! I get looks from everyone from teens to grandpa. Most dont know what it is but like it. I have only seen 3 others in 9 mo. (course 6mo of winter might have contributed!)so it is a special car. I see more TTs and 350zs. It isnt a total rocket but still quite fast and handles as well as my Miata did. Plus my kids (12 & 9) fit and love it! Mileage sucks!

  RX-8 - 2004 Mazda RX-8

  Solid $25K car. Daily drive over rough roads is comfortable, yet still a blast to drive on any road. Also take it to the track once a month and this completely showroom car holds its own against cars with adjustable shocks and racing compound tires. You do have to keep the RPMs up above 4K, but the rotary has no problem doing this. Im glad Mazda put a 9000 RPM rev limiter on the car or Id have easily zoomed to past 10,000! With just some basic after-market upgrades & driver improvements, the car would be always at the top of the pack.

  Great handling...smooth and very linear power band, and you can fit luggage in the trunk AND carry 4 people! I feel like a kid!

  Value,Value,Value - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By Solodad - December 9 - 2:00 am

  Like the old "Location,Location,Location" truth in Real Estate, the RX8 is all about Value. Went to drive a 350Z. Went with the RX8 and am VERY glad I did. My "fun meter" gets pegged every day with this car! A "Walter Mitty" car! Feels like you are driving a high winding, tight sports car with swooping lines. Hey wait a minute! It that is what it is! Zoom, Zoom

  I recently purchased a Mazda Rx-8, and it is the greatest car that I have ever driven! Almost everything about it is perfect. The engine, transmission, looks, and comfort are all superb.

  Mazda Hits the Target Dead On! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By barrya - November 29 - 10:00 am

  Having owned a Miata, a Lotus Elan, AH Sprite (souped up), Porsche and a 3rd gen. RX7, Mazda has hit the target with the RX8. Sophisticated and smooth as can be, power is there if you rev it up, handling is terrific, but it does city & dirt roads, too. A great car, especially for the price!
