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.

Anticipation was worth it! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By wpavlik2 - January 1 - 3:56 amI have wanted one of these cars since I saw the first sneek peek in Motor Trend over 2 years ago! First impressions are that it has me grinning from ear to ear each time I get in it. I know the fuel economy stinks, but thats OK. I didnt buy an economy car, I bought a sports car. Insurance costs are only slightly more than the car it replaced. (Mitsubishi Galant) You wont regret it!

RX-8 vs. RX-7 - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By rotary lover - December 20 - 2:00 amIve owned a 2nd generation for 14 years and waited on the RX-8 for three years. I started watching the Japanese version with anticipation of its arrival in the USA. Im glad I waited because I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! The ride is smooth and fast. Its so cool to have the on-wheel operations. This car is the best on the market so far!

The most fun available for the price - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By toddman - December 16 - 9:30 pmI have owned my 2004 RX8 for 1 and 1/2 years. I have yet to have a single problem with this car. I commute over 60 miles each day, in mostly stop and go traffic. I LOVE this car! Sure, it could use more power, but for what? More speeding tickets? If you are looking for a fast 0-60 car, buy the Vette. Even with HALF the power of the Vette, the RX8 can catch and pass one on a road course. I know because I have done so. The complaints about excessive oil consumption obviously come from people who have no idea how a rotary engine works. If you dont know about rotaries, learn about them before you buy one so you will know what to expect. I also own a Mazda Millenia. MAZDA IS THE BEST!

What a ride! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By SSSparky777 - December 14 - 2:00 amI just picked up my Titanium Grey 6M RX- 8, and what a sweet ride it is. In my opinion, no other sports car can offer the performance, comfort and useablity that the RX-8 manages. If you are in the market for a sports car - and you seek to avoid the semi-mandatory lower lumbar surgery that accompanies a 350Z - you owe it to yourself to drive this car. You will not be disappointed.

Fun to drive! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By John Martiw - December 7 - 9:56 pmI had it for more then 2 years now, and I still love the car. Its fun to drive and corning just amazing. Acceleration is decent but not the best. I drive a automatic which only has 200 hp compare to manual which has about 240.

By Jpowerboy - December 3 - 10:00 amThis car is easily the only car under 30k that people turn their heads and say "wow". honestly i love my 8 to death and throwing on some aftermarket parts makes it look that much better... I recomend the 6speed manual transmishion to every buyer!!! it is soo much fun and not bad in traffic at all!
