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 mazda yet - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    this car is sweet, if you dont have one you dont know what your missin, i mean this is the best street racer you can buy stock. There was this little punk pulled up beside me in a firebird 5.8 liter and i smoked him. This is a fast in your face car. its like your driving a ferrari. if youve got a little extra cash to fork out this is what you need to spend it on.

    I have owned many cars over the past 30 years, and this is indeed the best one, by far. I cannot complain about a single item. Love it! Its fun!

    The RX 8 I own is way faster than the 87 Porsche 911 I used to own. I have Titanium grey and get heads turning everywhere I go. Its hard to be on time to things because I get asked a lot of questions and strangers want a "tour." I bought an RX 7 the first year and sold it 5 years later for more than I paid!

    expterior design; superior handling; luxurious interior; speed (low gear and top end); and price all make the mazda RX 8 the best value in a sports car in many a year.

  • A blast to drive and looks good - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    Overall the car is a great experience. I replaced the expensive run flat tires when I took a nail in the sidewall and bought a spare on eBay. Driving it to work can be frustrating because you have to hold it back in heavy traffic. Its fabulous to drive on trips. My first rotary. I like the sounds but miss the rumble of a big V-8. My mileage started out low but has improved to a steady 20 mpg. If you drive slow on the freeway, you might get 22 (downhill).
