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.

Amazing Car! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By carliker - June 28 - 10:00 amLike another person who rated this vehicle, I had to wait four months before I got my car. The wait was worth it! You get tremendous bang for the buck with this vehicle. Usually when I get a car or anything expensive, I have a few moments of buyers remorse. However, I havent experienced one second of it since I bought this car! That makes me so happy!

Happy Camper - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By david barber - June 22 - 10:00 amBought for a fun car with room for a kid and my golf bag when needed. Got exactly what I wanted so far. Fuel mileage could be a little better - not getting what was stated. But love the car overall.

RX-8 Fan - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Zman - June 7 - 4:10 pmThis is the best car I have ever owned and that covers a lot. Every time I drive it I get a smile on my face. It has performed well on long and short trips. It is a rotary, so there are the normal maintanence issues and lower mileage than I would like. But I knew that when I bought it and I am already planning my next RX-8 purchase in a couple years. I recommend that you do not test drive this car unless you are ready to buy one, because you will want it!

Hard to Believe - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By George - May 17 - 10:00 amThe experience of driving the RX-8 cannot be described: Smooth, quiet, FAST, precision steering, comfortable, easy handeling and lots of interior room. Drivers seat with power can be adjusted to the shortest or tallest. You must start the engine to appreciate the power and sound of this new rotary engine. Mazda has a real winner in this vehicle. You must drive one to experience the excitement and thrill of this new machine.

2 Day old RX-8 - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By OverLOAD - May 17 - 10:00 amI just got this car, and WOW!. Its evertthing I had hoped for, and more. It handles predictably, and beautifully. The new electronic power steering assist is very nice. For a 247 hp car, its fuel efficiency is pretty good @ 24 mpg highway. Good acceleration through all the gears. Even accelleration on the highway in top gear from 70 to 100 mph is great. This car just begs you to push harder on the gas. Very fun to drive, excelent finish, very nice interior. Every where I go, peoples heads are turning to look at this stuning car!

a true sports car? yes - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By bmwwrkrrx8owner - May 4 - 2:00 amthe rx-8 was a true sports car that just happens to have four doors. I take the guys to lunch every friday in it, and the 62", 200 hundred pound guy would rather be in the back seat behind me than the front pass seat. you can do 0-60 in under six seconds, and if you know how to drive, you can smoke just about anyone out there. i have taken multiple v-8s to the cleaners.

almost 100 out of 100 - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By bergs - April 28 - 2:00 amDrives great and handles exceptionally well. The car moves when you move, great spring/summer/fall car. Down fall is the 0-60 speed, esp when compared to previous RX-7s. Cant wait for the Mazdaspeed version!
