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.

  fun car - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By romero - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I have has this car for a year now and i am still in love with it. If i were to get in an accident and the car was totaled i would get another rx8. I love the way the car handles. Ifeel safe driving it. You cant spin due to anti slip brakes. I love driving, the 6 speed is a must. You cant be a lazy driver which makes it feel like you have more control of the cars power.

  Motor to rotor - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By motor2rotor - July 10 - 5:40 pm

  Like a lot of other people, I was afraid of the rotary. It is so much different than anything on the road. That difference is what scared me, but that was till I drove one. I fell in love with this car in the first minute behind the wheel. It does have some dos and donts but what car doesnt. A pure sports car at this price is almost to good to be true. It is a high maintenance car so if you want to race stop light to stop light go buy a Honda! If you want a perfectly balanced extension of your thoughts to the road buy a RX8!

  Read Before buying - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By Bama - July 6 - 1:13 am

  My first Mazda. I have had 3 recalls in less than 3 years. one was to replace the motor!. Less than a month after the motor was replaced . The car started running hot. Through no fault of the dealers mechanic and everything hooked back up right. The radiator fan burned out. Whats next? You can buy this car if you like. But i will be putting mine in to some Toyota dealers used parking lot. 200,000+ sold with the same motor and fan. Good luck

  Best Mazda I ever owned - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By RedRX8 - July 5 - 2:20 am

  Ive owned several Mazdas in my day. The RX3, RX4 pickup, RX7 carb., RX7 GSL SE fuel injected, and now the 2004 RX8 6 MT. This is by far the best car of them all. I was the first one to buy an RX8 at my new dealership. So I was expecting Mazda would have some problems with such an advanced engineered sports car. The only constant updates were on the PCM programs to improve fuel mixtures, oil metering, & cold starting problems. They finally got it all working perfectly. This is the must fun you can have driving without getting a ticket.

  Mazda has a hit! - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By rx8_is_great - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I purchased the car a week ago and am really enjoying the ride! It gets extra attention from onlookers...even had a few people follow me to the parking lot where I work to look at it! Mazda did a wonderful job on the exterior and ride of this car.

  By connorsdad - June 27 - 2:00 am

  Excellent car- great handling, nice appearance. every option except Nav so lots of toys inside and out. Gas mileage is disappointing though it seems to be getting better with mileage. All around awesome car.

  Zoom-Zoom in Yellow - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By Bartow - June 20 - 2:00 am

  The perfect middle-age crisis car in "Lightning Yellow." The high RPMs of the rotary engine make this car sooooo much fun to drive. It corners like it is on rails and though not so fast on the straights it proves itself in the twisties!

  Rotary Engine-MAJOR PROBLEMS - 2004 Mazda RX-8
  By raya4 - June 13 - 7:58 am

  I bought the car on a whim because of how much fun it was to drive without doing much research. After buying the car almost EVERY mechanic I knew told me that I made a terrible choice. These rotary engines in these cars suck. My engine blew at 80k miles and mine lasted longer than most. Buying this car was a waste of money.
