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.

  • Best Ive ever owned - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    My wife and I have owned 11 Mazdas and loved every one. When the 8 came I knew I had to take a look. All I can say is WOW. This car is as quick as Turbos Mazda has made in the past. Gets looks everywhere I go. I get asked about it every time I get gas. The car seems to be the highest quality Mazda has made yet. We traded 2 miatas so we could have a back seat for a child seat and it is working out great. Only complaint is seems to be "thirsty" but probably has alot to do with the driver. Zoom Zoom

    This car was a surprise from my husband. We werent planning on buying a car, but I commented on it when I saw it in a parking lot. Next thing I knew, my husband had bought it for me! We have 2 small children, so I was a bit apprehensive about leaving my Mazda Tribute-but not any more! I havent driven the Tribute since I got the RX- 8. My kids love the car; their car seats fit perfectly & they have plenty of room. The car is definitely a head- turner. I cant go anywhere w/o someone asking about it. The interior is roomy & comfy, the engine provides tons of zip and the ride is quite and smooth! I cant say enough good things about my RX-8!

    Driving this car is a real adrenalin rush! It turns heads everywhere I go. Driver comfort is exceptional for a sports car (Im 62. Fuel economy is so-so but this car is an incredible machine for the price (30K). Id buy another one in a heartbeat.

  • RX-8 SIMPLY THE BEST - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    THE RX-8 NOT ONLY IS FAST, IS AMAZING THE FEELING WHEN YOU DRIVE ONE. HAS NOT FAT AT ALL OUTSIDE. INSIDE, IS BIG ENOUGH, REMEMBER, IT IS A SPORT CAR. THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THAT CONSUME ABOUT 13 MILES PER GALLON AND NOT 24 LIKE THE ADVERTISE.

  • Great car, needs more hp/gas milage - 2004 Mazda RX-8
    By -

    I love this car. Mazda hit it off with its looks and feel. Its a real pleasure to drive. It could use some more horsepower, and the gas milage is sub par. Other that that fantastic.

    The Mazda RX-8 is one of the absolute best cars. one of my favorite features is that it is a four door coupe, it is so much easier than having a 2 door where u have to move the seat up. i love the overall look and design of the car, but i feel like the interior could be a little better, mainly by adding power seats. The only other problem i have had it that if your a shorter stature person its a little hard to back up due to the high seating. i do suggest that if you are a person who must transport many things back and forth that you may want to reconsider because even though the RX-8 is roomy, its not the ideal car for say a college student.

    Nice car, very complete interior, beautiful engine-sound, worth to buy. Unique concept : 4 place sportscar with Wankel-engine, keeping sporty character of the car.
