General Comments

Owned the Mazda RX-8 27 months now and can't wait to get rid of it. The cold starting is shocking and unless the car is fully warmed up before you turn off the ignition, it'll flood and will end up on a low loader going back to Mazda.


Avoid

    Obviously had bad luck, or does'nt know how to drive this beautiful beast! Its a fine motor, with a few reported "flooding" problems when the engine has been started-stopped-started within a minute or so from cold. Mazda have dealt with this via a recall as far as I am aware! The good points far far outway this anyway. (IMO)
