REVIEW: Overall, Great car! Sexy appearance, awesome performance (considering the engine and it's kind), and extremely fun to drive. 6 gears with a redline of 9 RPM in a unique 4 dr sports car.....

REVIEW: I read alot about flooding. I have had a 2005 AT for one year and have 5000 miles on it, and it has never flooded, not even once.

REVIEW: I had my 2005 Mazda RX-8 automatic for about 2 weeks when I noticed that the mileage really stunk. About 13 mpg. I took car to the dealer and later on found out that the tranny had to be replaced. After reading other comments, I believe there are still bugs in the design waiting to be worked out. ...

CONS: Numerous times, the car won't even start. Brakes squeak. Re-calls

REVIEW: I would first like to say, the RX-8 I was driving was a 2004. This is the 4th or 5th time I've gone to use the car and the battery was dead. Dealer replaced battery twice, but to no avail. The car was towed to dealership (again) and that is where I've left it. I now have to contact ...
