(231ps) 4d
Mazda RX-8 Coupe (2003-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Very fast, and surprisingly practical! Keep on top of the oil top ups and changes. Red line it every time you drive it and you should have no problems. The sporty and comfortable to drive, Mine has every bit of kit possible, AC, 6 disc changer, etc, but no AUX input for an Ipod so have to use an FM transmitter. The stereo is outstanding sound quality, but sometimes you just have to turn it off and listen to the buzz of the rotary engine!

How reliable do you find the car?

No issues yet, but i'm sure i will have to change the cat and Lambda sensor soon

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

4 seats, and the rear seats fit a forward facing child seat for my 3 year old and a rear facing seat for my 1 year old, so it's good as a small family car, but take the kids out of the car and take it for a back road blast and it's the easiest car i have own to drive fast! It sticks to the road, corners like it is on rails, keep the revs high and you'll be grinning all the way home!
