This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Low base price, agile handling yet still comfortable enough for daily use, room for four in a pinch.
Cons:
  • Option packages can get expensive, iffy interior ergonomics.

  • a true joy to drive - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    The rx8 is truly a fun car to drive. It gves you a sense of youth as you rev the rpms up to 8000. The steering is fantastic and I dont miss my bmw 740 at all! The price is amazing, buy it now!

  • Always wanted a Wankel engine - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    Always wanted to have a Wankel car, like NSU Ro80, but those old timers got now very expensive. Then RX-8 came in sight. Drove it in Dec. 2003 and ordered it. My heart really beats faster when entering this car, even after nearly one year. Never wanted a two seater, because I have two kids. I really love this car. And it corners perfectly, accelerates like only a Wankel can do, smooth and constant. Ever had a test drive? Youll be missing something! By the way, oil consumption with 0.3l/1000km is really low for a Wankel engine.

  • Bad rap - 2004 Mazda RX-8

    All Ive owned are fast cars, of every type. If I could change one thing about the car, I would give it more power, in fact Im considering turbo charging it. Handling is perfect and tight, the car is a blast to drive, and it runs smooth as butter. I have had absolutely no reliability issues with my car, and I hit the 9000 RPM mark on every trip I take, every day. I highly recommend this car to all those who enjoy driving.

    I have test driven most sports cars out there, BMW, Nissan, Honda, Chrysler, etc and found the madza rx8 is the best bang for the buck. Great design, great features, excellent audio system, and fun to drive, too fun almost. Every day I DONT drive the car, I am sad!

  • The Best - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    Ive had my RX-8 for a little less then a week now and I absolutely love it!! The style originally caught my eye, but the way it handles and the power is what finally won me over! I didnt think anything could get me out of my Camaro, but the RX-8 sure did it. Love the velocity red with leather interior.

  • The RX8 experience. - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    Mazda has done an excellent job as it relates to design an performance. Not withstanding the fact that the RX8 is a "head turner" it is also a charm to operate. The interior is well thought out with a great design. The RX8 is everything and more, a great driving experience!!!
