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.

Excited !!! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By rf1311 - September 20 - 2:00 amAfter several months of research, I finally purchased my RX-8. I love the automatic because of the "manual" option. I think it is so cool to be able to change gears on the steering wheel. Its like a video game. I have one baby and the car seat fits perfectly in the backseat. If you are thinking about it, just go buy it. You wont regret it.

Love It! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Don D - September 16 - 7:03 pmI am 58 and always wanted a sports car. Before buying I looked at the 350Z, Mini-Cooper, Z-3, and S2000. Had decided to buy the 350Z when I saw the RX-8 on the road. I decided to check it out and quickly decided it was my car. I am really enjoying it and am constantly answering the question; what kind of car is that? Happy with my decision and enjoying my first sports car very much.

Turn Your Back On the Bad Old Days - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By sportsman - September 15 - 10:00 amIve owned Japanese, British, American, and Italian sports cars. This one has it all. Innovation...performance... styling...and gas mileage that, though not fantastic, doesnt consume gas like an SUV either. Yep, you can steer with the throttle! Yep, you can get rubber in at least 4 gears!!! All this performance and you still get cuddled with those great seats. I MUST be living right!

one fantastic sports car! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By williama - September 8 - 10:00 amwhat can i say - awesome! lots of power, fantastic handling and looks great both inside and out. Sun roof is good, although not as large as the one on my old 82 RX7. Got the spoiler on the car and think it adds to the looks - doubt the performance is much affected but I think its a positive. Negatives - the gas mileage is not great but so what. This is a sports car not an econo box - remember you still are not using as much gas as an oversized SUV. If you decide to get one youll not regret it - see you on the road and I will if you are driving this car!

For anyone who has one - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Jbern - September 2 - 4:36 amThe rotary engines are not made for light footed people. Your engines break down because there is not enough tension on the engine. I needs to be pushed, not pulled. Press the gas more and youll be saving hella money on repairs, though not in gas, but it makes up for it. Beats replacing the engine twice a year. Bottom line, this car isnt just made to look cool, its also meant to be driven hard.

Blows you away! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Mike05 - August 25 - 10:00 amThe unique design of the Mazda RX-8 is incredible. Mazda should pat themselves on their backs on their 4 door coupe. The Mazda RX-8 is top notch in performance and style. This car beat out the Nissan 350z and the Ford Mustang with ease.

The RX-8 is the best - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Mike Fannucci - August 21 - 10:00 amI recently bought myself an RX-8 (Red with Red and Black interior) on the 6 speed manual. Let me tell you- This car flies!! It is a very, very fast car, with a very slick look. It shifts well and is very fun to drive. Of course there are faster cars out there, but if you are looking to spend under $35,000 and yet still have the luxury of carrying more then one other person with you, then the RX-8 is definitely the way to go!

Mazda RX8 Better than expected - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By ATLBUSH - August 21 - 10:00 amWaited a long time since I preordered the car, and am glad I did. It lives up to the hype with the handling, the ride and the size inside. It also catches alot of attention. A couple of Porsche drivers and another in a Maserati turned around to look when I drove by just to see what kind of car it was. I definitely like the Velocity Red the best, and the GT package.

I LOVE IT! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By EliJ - August 14 - 10:00 amI like very much this car. Although its my first sports car and I cannot compare with others, the combination of having 4 seat, cool suicide rear doors, great handling, good power and very nice interior and very competitive price compared to others makes it a great choice. I did not mention the fact that everyone is looking at me since Im one of the few in my area with this car! this is a GREAT feeling!
