2007 Mazda RX-8 - Looks Great, But Not Reliable
I love the look of the Mazda RX8. I fell in love with the look of the car the first time I saw it. This is actually my second RX8. When the engine is functioning correctly, it's a great and fun (and fast) car to drive. It turns heads, too. But unfortunately, the rotary engine is prone to dying (the seals blow). I had to have the engine replaced on my first RX8 because it died (thankfully within the warranty for the engine). I bought another after Hurricane Sandy smashed mine with a tree. The second RX8 I chose a 2007, as it was said they had changed things so the engine was much less likely to die due to broken seals. Unfortunately, I found that not to be the case, and had to have the engine replaced at just under the warranty (thank goodness). This car also needs 4 ignition coil packs... (more)
Historia
I have an urban road that is very straight, about a mile long, that I have to drive on every day to get to and from my house. It's a lot of fun to redline on that road and blow the carbon out of the engine. : )
A Favor
I love the look of the vehicle. When it's running well, it's a ton of fun to drive. It's nice to be able to switch between automatic and manual as well. I love the leather interior, the heated seats, and the sound system. I love the moonroof.
En Contra
Eats too much gas and only takes premium gas, needs too much maintenance, engine failure is common, very low to the ground so hard to get in and out of, eats oil like it's breakfast
2007 Mazda RX-8 - Zoom zoom to the moon
My 2007 "Stormy Blue" Mazda RX8 GT was my absolute favorite car. It was low to the ground with tight steering and suspension, so you could really feel the road. It is loaded with all the bells and whistles, extra torque from the rotary engine, comfortable and spacious. The suicide doors made it easy to get in and out of the back seat: a feature I surely miss. The back seats folded down to hold surfboards, lumber, or anything else you needed to transport. I had a trailer hitch and roof racks added for transporting kayaks. 260,000 miles later, I finally sold it - the biggest mistake I've ever made.
Historia
I had a sort of Captain's Log that I kept in the glove box. Whenever I would take a road trip, I'd write funny quotes or draw pictures of what was happening. I'd print out photos of my trip, usually only one or two, and glue them into the book; my RX8 would be in the photo.
A Favor
I loved the feel of the RX8, the comfy bucket seats, the grip of the road, and the suicide doors. Everyone complimented the car, mostly total strangers. The RX8 is hot.
En Contra
The rotary was down a full quart of oil at 3,000 miles, and it spent a good amount of time in the shop. Highway, I only got 18 miles to the gallon with 93 octane gas. I drove about 1,000 miles a week, so the shop time was mostly due to the exorbitant amount of miles it was racking up. I had to replace the engine at 200,000 miles, where most people had to replace it at 80,000 miles on the 2007. But, it was replaced with the new 2010 rotary, which was supposed to last forever. I'll bet it's still running out there somewhere...
