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.

  • The best ever owned in areal sports car - 2004 Mazda RX-8

    Its my best experience of buying a sports car ever. Its fast, Powerfull, and it has unique driving experience that makes it one of akind. Everything in that car was designed to fit perfectly under one roof. I compare it to a ferrari or something like that.The body style is very hot,its an eye, head, body, and soul turner

    I just picked up my RX8 and its still the first Ive seen in California...Face it the car turns heads! Other than the lower that advertised HP I have no complaints about the car.

    the car gets terrible gas mileage, but if you could care less then this is the car for you. it has amazing handling but it is a little slow off the line. I would expect that the man. trans. is a little bit faster with better acceleration. It is a beautiful car and I have gotten nothing but compliments.

    Ive had this car for little over a month now and I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! and I LOVE IT! I love everything about this car, very nice comfort interior with very nice looking exterior and amount of attention wherever you go whenever you go. Gas mileage has to improve but other than that, I LOVE IT!

    This is the best handling car i`ve ever owned. The price is the icing on the cake.I was hesitant because of the lack of torque. However once I drove it, the thought never came back. The engine is as smooth as an electric motor and is always in the sweet spot once you get used to it. The Renesis engine and slick six speed work great together. For the money, there is no other car, and I`m 60 years old.

  • The funnest car Ive ever owned - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    This car rocks! Purchased it new as a 30th b-day present to myself and have no regrets. My first car was a 79 RX7 and then I had a 91 MR2 and this RX8 blows them both out of the water. It corners like a dream and the acceleration onto the fwy gives me a smile everytime. Ive had it up to 140 mph and it had room for more - I just chickened out. I get looks and comments on it all the time. Its such a unique looking car. The 4 door aspect is really only good for lower insurance although the backseats are surprisingly roomy. No engine probs at all. Not good in the snow so luckily I have the luxury of garaging it for the winter and driving a beater 4x4. Gas mileage is a consistent 20.

  • The Beast - 2004 Mazda RX-8

    This is the best car I have owned. Styling is great but the handling and sheer fun of driniing is the key to Zoom! HAve seen people walk into cars trying to figure what it is. Seats hold you in place to the max and it is great on the interstate. Drop from 6th a couple gears and kick in and the fun begins, even if you can watch the gas gauge fall as you do. At over $2 a gallon not fun filling up, but if you cant afford the gas, dont buy the car. Destined to be one of the great ones.
