... awesome car; the best Ive ever owned ... the dual rotary engine provided instant acceleration , the handling was fantastic, and I shouldve never let it go ... ... small downsides; the tires were expensive, maintenance was expensive, and it used premium gas ... if you can pay the freight, its a truly great ride ...Nov 24, 2022

The Mazda RX-8 was still going through some tweaking, and in time the RX-8 would become the car worthy of the RX name. The rotary engine, is the engine of the future. Dec 14, 2021

The car appears to be in good condition. However, I do feel it is overpriced.Sep 22, 2021
