If only it was turbo it would have been perfect. By far the best handling car I ever drove. With traction or with no traction you could put the car anywhere with seemingly no effort. Steering was extremely sensitive and tight (favorite part about the car). No complaints except for the stupid shift light and buzzer that went off if you hit redline. Gas mileage is horrid. Never had to fix anything on the car. As long as you check your oil and add accordingly (made to burn some oil) and do all the little tricks, like rev when shutting down to get extra gas out and not letting it sit too long letting the seals dry out, this car will give no problems

Performance- many mods, it might as well fly. Build Quality- lets put it this way when they came out with the 05 mustang they built them in Mazda American plants were the rx-8 hails from for quality and precision what more can i say Mazda always had it going on. Appearance- pics are a little old has new front bumper besides that has small scratches here and there it is an 86 barley any rust. Cost of Ownership- pull the check book, and it can burn holes in your pocket but i worked most of that out. Fun Factor- 10 outta 10

I loved the high revving horsepower, the brakes kept me out of trouble and it handled like a housefly. everything was ergonomically perfect in the interior and the seating postion made you at one with the car. perfect 50/50 weight ratio. Mileage sucked ass but repairs were nil as there were very few moving parts in a rotory motor. Mine wasn't laoded with all the gear which probably made it faster if not more visually appealingIt compared in stature to the Porche 924 but squashed it in every measurable and asthetic aspect. It was the Perfect 2 seater coupe!!!!

in my eyes the perfect car. smooth revs. normal driving is more enjoyable just because the way that the car feels. its not very costly to buy. quality is great, come on 26 years old and still rockin sexy! very fun experience

Handling is exellent and the engine was great pulling hard to redline. Great interior with comfortable leather seats with great support and moonroof and power options. Auto adjusting suspension and speed sensitve steering were great as well as the 5 speed trans with hydraulic clutch and 4 wheel disc brakes.
