2008 Mazda RX-8

2008 Mazda RX-8 Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Mazda RX-8

Mazda's RX-8 sport coupe remains the only car for sale in the U.S. with a rotary engine, which eschews traditional pistons for a totally different construction. It makes 232 horsepower when paired with the standard six-speed manual transmission and 212 hp with the automatic. It's fast and fun to drive, though not particularly fuel efficient, despite its small engine and tidy overall size. Small rear doors make the backseat easily accessible.
