Used 2008 Mazda RX-8 Consumer Reviews
Best Combo Car
After acquiring a used '02 Miata and being impressed with the fun to drive and sports car characteristics, I was turned off with the tight interior. This drove me to consider a trade in and test drive the RX-8. It offered the same or better driving dynamics with more more comfort and even back seats my 2 teenagers can fit in. I also live in congested NJ and a stick is great fun lots of times, but also too much work lots of times. The auto was hard to find with sport A/T package but it is worth it to deliver at least the best sports car spirit for an A/T.
" Sofie"
Great fun car to drive. MPG could be better. Has great get up and go for a 6/AT. My wife really loves her " Sofie."
Mazda RX8
I wanted an RX7 my entire life so when they came back out with the 8 I was quick to snatch one up. I didn't test drive any other sports cars, I just purchased an RX8. I find that it doesn't have the pick up that the RX7 had but it's still fun to drive and the fact that I can haul my children around and still have a sports car is just icing on the cake!
RX-8
I have now owned this vehicle about a month. The handling is one of the best features of this vehicle. The acceleration and tracking in corners is way above what I expected. I am currently getting around 18 MPG city driving. I am a 49 year old adult and would highly recommend this vehicle
A great car looking for a great engine
I love everything about the car-looks, handling EXCEPT the total, absolute, complete (get the picture) lack of torque. You really have to beat it with a stick to get it moving. I should have got a V8!
