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.

  Inexpensive and Fun to Drive - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By ze6492 - November 3 - 10:00 am

  Love the car - only complaints are its extremely noisy on the road - highway (tire) noise - and the radio volume increments need to be eliminated - either too quiet or too loud.

  I have waited 6 months for the car. So far it is everything I expected. It really hugs the road and it is been alot of fun to drive. The lines on the car are beautiful. People look at the car all the time. I have had it 1 week. So far no problems!!!

  Spirit - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By Razzzzzzzz - August 29 - 10:00 am

  After the first day I brought it back to the dealer for the A/C. Then found out it was the enviromental design flaw. Needs more cooling capacity for the interior. Looks like when you have Red everyone wants to race you. Test drove the GTO,350z, G35 and the Acura TL 260. Best overall value for the money. Not Bouncy like my old 3000GT or the new 350z. Ah.. real fun to drive.

  rx8 has superior handling /transmission - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By linda bednarski - July 28 - 2:00 am

  Felt the rx-8 handling and transmission were superb. the only car I have ever been in that handled the curves as good as the rx-8 was a (race car) triumph 25 years ago. Nothing beats it on the curves and the brakes are extremely good too. Thought it handled much better than the z350, g35 sport coup, and saleen s281 mustang.

  Fantastic family car! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By Leo - July 10 - 7:00 pm

  What a fantastic car! Like many others I was in the market for a sporty sedan. Sporty to please me, sedan to please the wife. I had decided not to seriously look into the RX8 because of what I had read about acceleration performance. I wandered over to the Mazda dealership to kill some time and decided to just go for a spin. I was hooked, bought the car that day. The handling is incredible, yet the ride remains very very very comfortable. The navigation system is pretty good, but already outdated. The rotary engine makes beautiful music and I still cant help staring at the car every time I park it and walk away. Never been in a car thats gotten me as many looks, I love it!
