IGN reviews 2004 RX-8
Ever wonder what a review sounds like when its written by an idiot that has little clue what he's talking about? Check this one out.
my favorite quote from the review...
"And if Mazda were to increase the stock wheel size to 18 or 19-inches with less fender gap--that would be hot."

Ah...this guy needs to do his homework better before writting a BS article like this in the future!! As you guys already said....they should stick to video games.
How the hell does the 8 not look sleek?

But I LIKE my muted gauges when I flip the lights on... if I wanted to be blinded at night, I'd just equip exterior speakers and blast requests at oncoming traffic to flip their brights on until they've passed me. Noting that they obviously didn't realize everything about the interior, do you think they caught the "hidden" compartment behind the drink holders?
Happy motoring.

Day Three
Driving the RX-8 around and away from town still seems like a fair compromise. We get acceptable power-deliver from the 1.3L Wankel engine, but we can still throw a few people in the cabin or a bunch of stuff

German engineer and inventor of the Wankel rotary engine. The Wankel engine is distinguished by the presence of an orbiting rotor in the shape of a curved equilateral triangle that does the work done by the moving pistons in other internal-combustion engines.

Um....Definitly should stay in front of the playstation
"A quick downshift from sixth to third will put the RX-8 near its optimum rpm and the engine just loves it."
"With a mild bodykit, some lower suspension and larger wheels the RX-8 becomes a mean-looking car. "

I read all five pages. Overall, it was a very positive review. The reviewer is simply more interested in a sportier, sleeker and preferably more powerful two-seater rotary engined machine.

The more I read this the more I wonder if its a road test or an obituary for the Rx-7, 9 years too late.
"But for a hefty one" What does that mean? The car is sub 100 lbs lighter than the EVO 8 RS - The one that was gutted to save weight - AC, stereo, trunk carpet gone. Power Nothing.
What this kid wants is Turbo, NOS, Some gay stickers, and Vin himself to demonstrate a 9 sec quarter.
