Reviews of the 2009 Mazda RX-8 R3

CNET Review
The Good: With performance suspension parts, the 2009 Mazda RX-8 R3 offers excellent handling and responsive steering. Recaro seats and a short shifter for its six-speed manual give it a sports car feel.
The Bad: Acceleration is lacking and fuel economy is bad. Navigation isn't available with the R3 trim.
The Bottom Line: With a unique and sporty design, the 2009 Mazda RX-8 R3 will turn heads, but it doesn't quite live up to its looks, and Mazda left out some key tech elements.
