Reviews of the 2008 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring 4dr Coupe (1.3L 2rtr 6M)

CNET Review
The Good: With its high-revving rotary engine and consummate handling, the swoopy 2008 Mazda RX-8 delivers a smooth, well-balanced ride with plenty of poke near the redline.
The Bad: The RX-8 suffers from lackluster performance at low rpms and lamentable gas mileage. Its cabin electronics are in urgent need of an upgrade.
The Bottom Line: With its distinctive high-revving rotary engine and comic book exterior styling, the Mazda RX-8 differentiates from the competition. Its cabin tech is badly outdated, but that doesn't stop it from being a blast to drive.
