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.

  Not the best for gas mileage but overall, a well made, good looking, fun- to-drive car.

  I have driven this car over 9000 miles in four months and the experience ahas been very good I would only fault a little tightness on space and fuel consumption other than that is a great car to drive.

  Best Car Ever Owned - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By NEWireless - December 19 - 2:00 am

  After 10 years of driving "sport sedans" (BMW 533i, Audi 100, Audi A6) this car is a remarkable improvement in fun and handling while maintaining the ability to travel comfortably and conveniently with my children. Love the look, feel, and driving experience. Car pulls strong and smooth right up to the red-line. The Renesis engine is amazing. With the right snow tires, this car is proving to be a great year-round driver here in Boston, MA

  I have had the car for two weeks now. What a trip I have never seen so many people stare at a car unless it was a Viper. Handles great, I am always looking for a reason to get in and drive.

  Very fun and never has a problem! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By Louis - December 12 - 11:26 pm

  Love the car, very fun to drive. Little kids on the side of the street get excited and people turn heads. Has a unique and fun sound, supreme handling, and I love sitting low in a car. It could use more initial torque, and wish they would finally come out with the Mazda Speed version (not likely). Of course as in with all Wankel Rotary engines.......fuel consumption. :(

  bad ass car - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By mkpynes - November 18 - 10:00 am

  The RX-8 is blast drive. The speedometer is very helpful because it is digital. The audio system is much better than the nissans 350 Z. The speakers dont sound like they are right at your ears. It is nive to be able to fit four people in a sports car. The interior could not be any sportier. I say the RX-8 is one of the best cars in 2004.

  The RX-8 handles very well. It does not like low RPMS might to be driven fast. Very fun to drive. Trevin Cox

  love my car - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By compactfun38 - November 12 - 2:00 am

  Not only is the car fun to look at, it is also incredible to drive. I was not sure what to expect out of the car with the new renisis engine and side ports but the car has been running great. Long distance travel and faster acceleration as well. Check to oil every 500 miles it is just that type of engine that needs to be checked on because of the rotary engine. Also let the car warm up for 3 to 5 minutes before taking off. You and the car will get along better. =)
