2005 Mazda RX-8 6-SpeedReview
Rx8 Monster — The RX8 is the most fun out of all the cars I have owned and I am very sad to be without it. It could kick ass in a race, it had a bad 9 speaker BOSE system which shook the windows and let the general public hear the sweet sounds of Hip Hop and Reggae and regualy hit 9thousand revs. It looked sick with the suicide doors and the exceleration was raw. Pros: 9:10 Cons: Fule consumption was killing Looking for a Used RX-8 in your area?CarGurus has 372 nationwide RX-8 listings starting at $1,499. |

2005 Mazda RX-8 6-Speed ShinkaReview
My 2005 Mazda Rx-8 — I loce driving my car. I have had it for3.5 years and it feels like I just bought it yesterday. I used to count the seconds until I could get out of work and just drive. I frequently drive nowhere and anywhere. The performance and handling is great. The acceleration is great for stock. And so is the speed. I have raced 4 Carreas(non turbo) and beat them all. Becauase of the rotary engine, when the Carrea is shifting to 3rd gear I am still in 2nd gear at about 6000 RPMs. I have had it as fast as 137mph. The mileage is ok. I thought it would be better but with the rotary engine it tends to guzzle. I do get decent mileage on the highway and if I am not going 100 mph. The price for the Shinkaedition was a little bit higher but I think it was worth it because the special edition paint(black chery) makes it unique. If I could make any changes/upgrades/modifications it would be exhaust/brakes/turbo kit or supercharger/ and ecu. I would change the brakes to Brembo brakes. The complete kit(calipers and rotors). I would change the exhaust to HKS Legamax catback system with 65mm piping and 100 mm tips. My second choice would be a Borla exhuast system The turbo kit would be the SFR bolt on turbo kit or the Greddy and my 2nd choice. For a Supercharger I would pick the Pettit SuperCharger or the Blitz kit. Personally I would prefer the supercharger over the turbo because of turbo lag. Of course with either kit I would change the fuel injectors to 1100-1300. As for the ECU I would get the Greddy E-manage unit. Pros: The whole package Cons: Gas Mileage |

Most Fun To Drive Car! — I love this car! It's one of the most fun to drive cars I have ever been in. I test drive cars for fun and this one was so amazing that I bought it! Its not really the acceleration that gets me, its the handling, it takes corners like a champ and nothing throws it off balance. This is a car that anyone can drive fast, its just so forgiving, it seams to say, "Is that all you've got?" Pros: Fast, Fun, Forgiving. Cons: Gas mileage. But hey, its a sports car, what do you expect? |

Pros: GORGEOUS, fun to drive, awesome acceleration Cons: base modle not worth getting. |

2005 Mazda RX-8 6-Speed ShinkaReview
Lal Mirch — Good things indeed do come in small packages. A sports car which goes like a bomb, along with my luggage & family, in style. I not that into speed, however, when its required, there's plenty of it around to thrash boyracers & any Merc or Bimmer ! I've had it for some time now, but still always find ways to go for a drive !! Pros: Excellent packaging Cons: A little heavy on fuel, but aren't all sport cars ? |

2005 Mazda RX-8Review
Mazda Rx8- Rotary Revolution — This car is a complete blast! It looks incredibly beautiful for starters, but then it corners so hard it'll snap your neck, out-brakes a Lamborghini, and revs to 10,000 rpm with four doors and four witnesses. There just isn't another car like this one made anywhere. I love this car. Pros: High revs, handles like a dream, comfortable, seats 4, great noise, looks amazing Cons: Low torque, drinks gas and oil, automatic transmission models have lower power |

2005 Mazda RX-8 6-SpeedReview
Only Mazda Worth Buying — Good: Performance, handling, braking, fun to drive. Bad things: Bad on gas... Interior could be much better... Mazda dealerships are terrible - I actually think that they put defective parts every time you take your car there ...so next time something else breaks. No too many problems, but I had to change my water pump at around 50K..?? ... right after I had to replace my cabin filter... ??? ...right after... you get the point. Pros: Performance, handling, braking, fun to drive Cons: Bad on gas... Interior could be much better... Mazda dealerships are terrible. |

2005 Mazda RX-8 6-SpeedReview
Rx-8er — Don't like how much Fuel it uses. Other than that I love it. Handles Fantastic. Accels like a bat from hell (But you do have to rev it to get power from it, And its solid as a rock. I love the styling, even though its been out for ya few years now its still a real head turner for a stock factory car. Its just amazing to drive. I recommend anyone to buy it if they can afford the petrol and oil to keep it running. Pros: Everything but 1 Cons: Fuel useage |
