Used Mazda RX-8 for Sale

It is a fun car to drive. It handles very well. It is a very attractive vehicle. It is comfortable. The included options (navigation, etc) are very nice.

The 2006 Mazda Rx-8 was purchased as a used vehicle that had approximately 75,000 miles. I like the sleek design and aerodynamic curves of the RX-8. In addition, it is one of the only 4-seated sports cars that has unique doors. The door on the back of the vehicle opens outward to the left as opposed to how traditional doors open rightward; they are rear -hinged. The RX-8 came with a spoiler, automatic sun roof and lightly tinted windows. In addition, it was an automatic which is a plus because I am not a master at operating a 5-speed. This vehicle is excellent for highway driving especially around the curvy highways; it cuts corners with smooth precision. The vehicle hits the red line swiftly and isn't noisy or shaky. I test drove a Porsche 911 Carrera sometime before purchasing the RX-8, I must say that the Porsche was too noisy and the ride was not as smooth as the RX-8. The only thing that I didn't like about the RX-8 is the gas mileage; only 25 mpg.

It's a really fun car to drive. Upsides are: great handling, high RPM comfortable and well designed. Seats are comfortable and stereo is outstanding. Car is very attractive and rear suicide doors are a nice add. Downsides: Car gets 14mpg on a good day. The engine is a wankel rotary... these are very expensive if (when) they fail. Mine did and was about 6K to replace. All in all a fun car that is a lot of performance for the dollar. You will give some of your savings back in gas cost but barring any major breakage a good car to own; just buy with caution knowing this is a very different engine best suited for someone that enjoys working on and maintaining their car.
