What Owners are Saying About the 2004 MAZDA RX-8
"Still love this car."
"This car gets a bad reputation, because of its rotary engine. People dont read the manual and take care of it for what it is. It needs premium gas, it needs good oil, and it burns that oil do you need to check it and top it off OFTEN. Thats just part of the deal when you buy one. I bought mine used with just under 60k on it. (Original Engine, never replaced). That was low milage at the time, heck its 13 years old now so its still under the average. I have put 50k on it in about 4 years. It has never mechanically stranded me. The only maintenance Ive had to do in the last 50k miles are a battery, a set of brakes, a set of plugs and wires, and a set of tires. I put a clutch in it at 90k and it really didnt need it. I have flooded it twice (moved it in the driveway and didnt let it warm up enough), but I was able to get it started w/o having to pull plugs. The car is bone stock, no add on, no enhancements. It runs as good as the day I bought it. While it has the grand touring package, this isnt really a great highway touring car. Its a bit noisy, and while its comfortable for a while, its not something you probably want to spend hours in. It performs well, goes where you point it. Not a very good winter car, and Ive driven it in all kinds of winter conditions that it probably shouldnt have been driven in. Id buy a new RX9 in a minute."
"A great handling sports vehicle"
"Wonderful car to drive. A road hugger and corners prcisely. Needs TLC to keep it in great sporty condition.."
"Fun car"
"It is a fun car to drive. Space for two adults and 2 kids comfortably. I drove 350z, s2000, and other Sports car but I have to say that RX8 is not the FASTEST but most comfortable."
