Reviews
- "The rotary engine that makes this car unique is its biggest liability, however. It feels underpowered and delivers subpar fuel economy. Interior comfort also fails to impress, and lofty sticker prices further diminish this sporty car's appeal." -ConsumerGuideConsumerGuide: 2008 Mazda RX-8 Road Test
- "Though the rotary could use more power, its light weight endows the RX-8 with a near perfect balance and brilliant transient response." -Car and DriverCar and Driver: Mazda RX-8 Capsule Review
- "Providing sports car performance along with four-passenger capacity, the 2008 Mazda RX-8 would be the ultimate in a practical sports car were it not for its disappointing fuel mileage and lack of torque." -Edmunds.comEdmunds: 2008 Mazda RX-8
