Mazda RX-8 (231ps) 4d (2003/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Costs
Thirsty engine (but if I wanted fuel economy I'd buy a Micra!). Servicing very reasonable.
-
On the road
Driving
Acceleration plus sharp handling - wow! Reviewers often say you have to work the engine hard, but it loves to rev so it never feels like hard work.
Performance
Redline of 9000RPM gives lots of room for acceleration!

Living with it
Reliability
Too early to say yet. All OK so far.
Image
Looks superb in silver (guess which colour I went for?!).
Comfort
Very comfortable for all 4 people, though the pedals are offset.

Security and Service
Security
Seems good - it has greater security than the insurance companies recommend for its group.
Service
Too early to judge properly. Fine so far. Friendly and helpful.
