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.

How to blow a H2000, G35 or 350Z away... - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Timisw - November 5 - 2:00 amWhat an awesome car! I love it! Every morning I drive to work smiling! The car runs perfectly and just feels right. The looks and attention it gets from others has be washing it everyday just so that I can see other people gape at it!

X-Review - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By brandx - October 31 - 10:00 amActually, didnt realize what a following the Mazda had. Drove it in two parades and many were asking what kind of car it was and what did it have "Unda da hood." People making left turns always look and try to figure out what kind of car it is but because I have the extra "Bra" on the front, they cant tell. Love the inside too with the red/black interior matching the red of the outside. One thing I have had the most comments about is how much flake they put in the paint. It is amazing how it shines.

The worlds first 4-door sports car - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By deslock - October 31 - 10:00 amTraded my WRX in for it 11 weeks ago. The WRX was a blast, but its handling and braking werent exceptional and it didnt communicate the road well. I drove some friends Mini Cooper Ss a few times, which reminded me that the fastest cars arent always the most fun. I dont like FWD and need 4-doors so the MCS was out. I considered the STI, EVO, and G35s, but I wanted something more livable, toss-able, and cheaper. The RX8 6-speed can be had for $25k.

By RiothamusLXIV - October 31 - 10:00 amthe RX-8 is a wonderful second car to drive around for fun, but i find myslef using it more and more everyday. it is comfortable on long trips, responsive and an overall excellent sportscar. the design is completely different than other cars, and gets tons of looks everywhere. i have a black one with the grand tourning package, and 6-speed transmission.

midlife crisis solved - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Paul - October 17 - 2:20 amMid life crises prompted my wife to say: I dont need a minivan. Sold van and 85 RX-7 and bought used 04 RX-8. Kids love it (2 and 4 year old with car seats on top of pillows in back seat for better visibility). Snow traction great with snow tires here in MN; was impossible with stock tires. Traction control no fun but very effective. 28K miles with no problems other than a few minor recalls which Mazda took care of. Great ride, handling, comfort. Difficult to get good mileage with such a fun car to drive hard. Burns one or two quarts of oil between changes.

great car - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By Patrick - September 30 - 2:00 amThe car handles like no other. It never loses traction. It accelerates great, has a great engine noise. The interior is sporty and fun and you can even fit the kids in back no problem.

RX8 - Wow - 2004 Mazda RX-8
By dlwoolums - August 18 - 2:00 amThe rotary engine feels like it is directly connected to the gas pedal. When you decide to go, it JUMPS at the chance.
