How is Mazda RX 8

Pros

  • 9000 rpm redline from the naturally aspirated Renesis rotary is a visceral experience.
  • Freestyle rear doors provide genuine 4-seat daily usability unlike the RX-7.
  • Near-perfect chassis balance with double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension.
  • Large boot for a sports car at 290L, improving everyday practicality.

Cons

  • Rotary engine is sensitive to cold starts and requires regular oil top-ups.
  • Emissions regulations led to discontinuation in 2012; parts becoming harder to source.
  • Automatic transmission saps much of the rotary's character.
