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.

  A standout in a crowd of same old... - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By Island RX-8 - July 14 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned this car since August 03. Having owned all sorts of sports cars coupes, e.g., BMW(2), MB(5) and a few others, I can, without hesitation, say this is one of the best Ive ever owned. It is smooth, well-equipped even without options, quick (but there are faster straight-line cars) and it handles like a dream. Only my Miata has quicker turn-in. The big plus is seating for four adults in a pinch; or plenty of room for two with exceptional luggage space. I can work very well as a daily driver and give breat fun on curvy roads or at an autocross.

  You cant go anywhere without someone approaching you and asking about the car. I feel like a salesman for Mazda. While passing everyone on the highway people try to catch you to see what kind of car just went by.

  Youll break necks driving this car! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By cash_money - April 19 - 2:00 am

  If I had $1 for everytime someone checked out my car, I would be rich. Ive literally had lots of people roll down their windows at stop lights and converse about my car. If you dont like dealing with people, dont buy the car. Ive also taken my two sons (3 and 2) in the back around for 4hr family days. The freestyle doors really help and ARE USEFUL. Audio system is very good contrary to other reviews (Im thinking they want their music WAY too loud). I looked at BMW, AUDI, Infiniti, etc... but Mazda had everything they did and you will not see this car every mile.

  i have owned two rx7s 78 & 85 loved them, but my rx8 is so much better i cant belive the difference. power,handling & comfort are tops. i liked the g35 also but the cramped up feeling & road noise were too much to overcome. sorry nissan...mazda RULES!!!!

  I love my RX8. It is truly fun to drive and despite what Consumer Reports might tell you about predicted reliability, I have never once had a problem with it.!
