Ok here's something that could be interesting.

If you had to write in 25 words or less a review of the 8 what would you write?

I'll start off with my micro review and see what happens.

__________________________________________________ _______________

A light and nimble car, some would say it's exotic looking. It's unique in design and in performance. It's a balanced package that handles like a skateboard!

So it's up to you guys to add with your literary flair to this thread and lets see what people think.

 

As in my website (the small caption down below): http://www.step-hen.com/myrx8.htm

************************************************** *******************
Mazda RX-8 not only gives you a life, but also completes it. A balanced rear wheel rotary-powered machine makes an ordinary driver look ...... exceptional.

Mazda RX-8 - the perfect sports car for the enthusiast who craves performance and handling whilst appeasing the wife who insists it must be able to take two baby seats.

 

You might need to make that 30 words or less Julia.

Here's my offering:

The only performance car currently available that combines unique engine technology with pin sharp handling and genuine four seat practicality in an eye catching body.

I'm on the limit.

 

For the individual car connosiuer , who enjoys being different on a budget

Ill summarise it all in one statement

When you are on the street and you see it go by and you think "now thats a nice car"
Then you realise "oh yeah,I own one".

 

Nice. Love ya work!

Saw one today and thought exactly that! Hey they look nice!

 

I have owned my 2006 Red RX8 its been off the road for just over a year, yesterday 13/11/24 Booked for an MOT i took it for a long run for over an hour, it drove extremely well, then took it into my local for the test to my surprise it feld on the emission it was high on the high reves.
the car don't smoke drives better then most cars and yet the government is punishing RX 8 drivers by charging high road tax and making it difficult on emissions test.
Now i got to sell the car I love to drive for spares. The makers of this car should take full responsibility and recall all the RX8 and fix the problems and the government need to make it fair and help RX8 drivers. what do you say?

The car is 20 years old. As is this thread. No.
Also have you kept up on ignition maintenance? It could just be unwell.
