Mazda RX-8 (2003 - 2010) (231ps) 4d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Best car I have owned! For the money you cannot get a car that is as fast and as fun. If you want a low maintenance car do not get one. They need to be looked after in a very specific way and require regular oil checks and changes about every 2 weeks for a check and 6 months for a change. The glorious 1.3 rotary is by far the best thing about the car. It's silky smooths and revs all the way to 9500 RPM! The noise it makes is wonderful too My friend described it as sounding like a racing car. With an easy modification you can get lots of pops and even a few flames. The steering fell is wonderful its not weightless like modern hot hatches it has weight to it and you feel what the car is doing. For a 12 year old car she handles beautifully and in my opinion better than my previous MK7 Fiesta ST. If you want a fun, cheap and fast car then this is the car to get. Just don't be afraid to spend a lot of money on fuel and never buy without getting a compression test. compression over 7 is good.
How reliable do you find the car?
The RX-8 is as reliable as you want it to be. If you give them the care they need then they are as reliable as any other car.About their car
