Good Points

Its a head turner, (mine is in glorious black) it seats four normal sized people in some style, its quite fast if you use the revs to the limiter, my grandkids absolutely love the noise that makes....beeeeeeep.


Bad Points

Very hard to drive in snow; tip...switch off the traction control to go places and try avoiding any hills. Bit of a blind spot on rear three-quarter. And because the wheels are at the 4 corners, tight turning at slow speed is challenging...watch out for those high kerbs, they bite the ally wheels.


General Comments

Bought my Mazda 192bhp RX8 4 months ago and have done 7000 business and holiday miles in it so far. Averages about 27 mpg and 1/2 litre oil every 1000 miles. Starts up on sunny or winter conditions no problem. No miss-fires, flooding etc. It has not let me down....touch wood. There is a lot said about it being a rotary engine but you would'nt notice....except the oil usage, but isnt it supposed to do that? I ran a few 2 stroke motorbikes as a teenager; so not big deal really; I just treat it like a big bike.
