Mazda's four-door, rotary-engined RX-8 sports coupe was available in a new trim package for 2007. The Grand Touring version of the RX-8 came with such features as leather seats that were heated in the front, eight-way adjustable front seats, an advanced keyless entry system, heated exterior mirrors, a power sliding moonroof, and a nine-speaker Bose premium audio system. The Grand Touring joined the two other RX-8 trim packages that had been available the previous year. The entry-level Sport package included air conditioning, cruise control, a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, a tire pressure monitoring system, anti-lock brakes, and front, side, and curtain air bags for the driver and passenger. The mid-level Touring package added Xenon headlights, a day/night rear-view mirror, and Dynamic Stability Control with traction control. Power for the 2007 RX-8 was provided by a 232-horsepower, 1.3-liter Renesis rotary engine. A six-speed manual transmission was standard, while a six-speed Sport AT automatic transmission was available as an option (horsepower with the automatic transmission dropped to 212). The RX-8 was also available with two sport suspensions. In the front, a double-wishbone design provided responsive handling and control, while a multilink rear suspension provided stability. Ventilated disc brakes were also part of the package. Outside, the RX-8 was distinguished by its aggressive nose, swept-back roofline, and flared fenders. The 2007 RX-8 was available in seven exterior colors, including Phantom Blue Mica, Velocity Red Mica, and Sunlight Silver Metallic.

One of the best handling cars ever built. If you like the NC Miata but want more space, you won't sacrifice the driving experience by going to an Rx8(Other than the roof) By this time in 2025, people have solved all of the reliability issues, it just takes a little research. Probably not a car for someone less mechanically inclined, if you can't do your own work it may be an experience endeavor.Dec 07, 2025

Acceleration, braking and and handling are all exceptional. The car provides a lot of interior room and spares nothing in the way of comfort. The automatic transmission is nice, but love the manual paddle shift option. This is a fun car to drive and will turn heads!Feb 25, 2014

This is a fun car to drive and handles very well. Compact look but the interior is exceptionally roomy. The suicide style back doors make all the difference and give this car a unique appearance as well. Style, Comfort and handling. Feb 25, 2014
