  • Check engine light is on...yeah...illuminated check engine lights in RX-8s are about as common as any other feature.

  • the transmission on the 2003-2011 Mazda RX-8

    Transmission

    4-speed automatic

    6-speed automatic

    5-speed manual

    6-speed manual

  • hit speedbump

    apex seals gone

  • i wan wondering why it was $14k and i realized the video was from 2010 thats worth like 10 to 12k tops

  • So basically, if you own a rotary in canada (50% winter, down to -30 celcius occasionally) you are screwed?

  • shouldve gotten the auto its way faster

  • @landraider101 We're not running ALMS here... It's a car to drive on the street, and track one in a while. While the auto may shift quicker, the manual will always be the choice for true car guys who actually want to enjoy the car for what it is.

  • saabkyle04 can you please show me a Mercedes 190d or 190e

  • The check engine light is on... just sayin

  • i can feel it coming in the air tonight

  • Insurance will sky rocket on sports cars like the RX-8, EVO, STI, GTI, and the Cvic Si.

  • typical piece of crap mazda

  • Mazda Rx8 to me look dumb without a spoiler

  • @ghirardelliify i agree

  • I'm thinking about getting one of these for my first car. I'm currently 19. Any one knows how good of a car these are, and how the performance is? I don't care about camaro power, but some thing decent.

  • Dis will be my first car

  • @Ak47fauxy Mine too bc they only die if unless ur stupid and don't know shit about rotary. Most people don't like having to add oil and get their changes on time, but that's their stupidity. That's why I also am careful about which dealerships I go to bc u can't just cut this car off after it's been started, and u can't just take off if it hasn't warmed up a bit first. Other than that, they are WAAAY more reliable than regular piston engines.

  • @Hendrixidol

    what kind of oil can you use, or just the regular, or synthetic? Can you tell me a little about the rotary?

  • @dieselpower7789 U use regular, synthetic will damage the motor. U must wait until it is fully warmed up prior to takeoff, and excessive driving. U can't cut it off and then cut it back on. U must hold the rpms around 3500 for about 10 seconds before u can shut it back off if u must after u accidentally start it up. And when u cut it off, rev it to about 3500 prior to turning the key off every time. These are all preventive measures to reduce engine flooding. Best bet, buy one of these new.

  • @Hendrixidol

    So you can't drive it hard some times?

  • @dieselpower7789 Oh it LOVES to be driven HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! When it's warmed up completely. U actually have to redline the car at least once a week just to ensure the engine doesn't get cruddy.

  • @Ak47fauxy Same here bro im 15 right now but when im 16 im getting it next year:D they dont cost much there like 10000 to 7000 good for a first car. better then a Honda 1989

  • looks so filthy

  • @ 3:39 u said its a 4 door so does it go as a 4 door car on insurance or 2??

  • @lebking96 It goes in as a 4 door sports car. It's classified as a sports car because it's definetly not a family car. Same as Mitusbishi Evo and Subaru Impreza.

  • @Jorgeeeehhh ok thx 

  • @lebking96 When it comes to Evos, STis, and RX8s, insurance gets counted as sports car. Period.

  • @Hendrixidol Insurance for less common cars is cheaper. A 2012 ZR1 costs just as much as an old 2000 accord for a 16 year old

  • @MrPorkbunz insurance is based on repair costs.

  • how much

    

  • @Jaearellano i think it said 13900 on the windshield

  • @Jaearellano i think it said 13900 on the windshield

  • Is there a place were u can connect ur ipod or mp3

  • Fuck me Earth Wind and Fire playing in the background!!!

  • I have an rx8 2004. And I been reading a lot about the engines getting burn. Any suggestion how to take of my car? Thanksssss

  • haha love the carrie underwood song in such a badass car

  • can u drive this car in winter? bc i live in canada ( toronto) need help pls..

  • @davinpenh it depends man, 04 or o5, probably not, those models have issues with flooding in the winter. 06 or up shouldnt have a problem with that. but still, the wheels spin very fast and when you take a turn and the roads are slick, im not sure you could control it. but it depends on how snowy it is

  • @prowsy102 what do you think about rx8 o9 model?

  • he thinks it puts out 238 hp..... he thinks.... job....

  • check engine light is on -.-

  • You have gotten a lot better with your videos these days. You are more relaxed and give a FULL tour on the car.

  • @MrCarz09 This one is old and you seem a little nervous.

  • damn $13,900 with 47k miles not bad...

  • So i am thinking about buying at rx-8 or a 350z can i get some opinions and some help please. It's going to be my first car purchase. I'd appreciate it

  • @Ballinj13 350z is more reliable

  • @Ballinj13 350z unless u know how to deal with rotary engines.

  • @Ballinj13

    I just went through the same dilemma (considered these 2 cars as well as a 993 Porsche). I ended up buying a brand new Rx-8 R3 simply due to the handling and the fact that it has 4 seats. The 350 and Rx-8 are totally different cars. The Nissan has way more power and low end torque, but there is something visceral about the driving experience of the Mazda that the horsepower/torque numbers don't capture. It's like driving a mini-Ferrari and the handling is second-to-none.

  • @Ballinj13 avoid the rx8 like the plague it handles beautifully and it very stylish inside and out comfortable BUT it eats oil and gas performs like a civic si and the reliability is horrendous its also a maintenance whore. i owned one and babied it. warmed it up, revved it bfore shutting off, no short trips, redlining often, checked oil temp pressure, etc... in the end it died anyway flooding problems and i got a cracked seal. i had warranty and they got me a new engine and i traded it in fast.

  • How much do you think a 2004 mazda rx-8 will cost in 2012 like the lowest price?

  • @iTzEazyMod there's an exact model like that where i live for 9,000. its manual, 6spd, even the same color... i need a job.

  • @AusGuerin I'm getting mine in a few days!

  • @Tapoutbro911 fuck yah buddie how is it

  • thats not a full depth tour wheres the boot?

  • ANOTHER NEW MUM AND DAD

  • check engine light!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This is a moms car, 30k car that only has 230HP and gets crappy gas mileage. Why not get a Mazdaspeed 3 for 20k and 263HP and get almost 30 MPG?

  • @MrFlyestNerd actually the speed3 gets about 22mpg cus i have a mazda 3 and i dont even get 30mpg, my audi tts gets 30mpg and its only suppose to get 25mpg, i went and test drove one of these today, if this is ur first sports car its fine, just enough power, but if u want a real sports car go german u cant go wrong. i paid $47,000 for my tts and i can outrun most sports cars

  • @dentonbrowne i have a black 2010 MS3 i get 28 mpg average, its like ur audi Turbo cars get better MPG when not under boost.

  • @dentonbrowne Oh an also "i paid $47,000 for my tts and i can outrun most sports cars" im loling from this comment lololololololo

  • @MrFlyestNerd what r u lol about? my tts can burn ur m3 easy. ive beaten plenty of m3's came close to beating a m5, the german idiots at bmw make their cars rwd while my car is all wheel, so all my power goes to all wheels to the ground. so while ur tryin to maintain the sloppy launch u did with that crappy rwd my dsg with launch control gets u off the line and in corners. ._.

  • @dentonbrowne dude i bought my car for 20k and i bet i can still beat ur 50k car if its stock... i put only 1500 dollars into my ms3 and im pushing over 300HP, yea u could beat stock MS3's but would be a good race agianst my car thats if ur car is a stick and not an auto...should of got an STI man lol or even a regular WRX for 25k its has 265HP and its AWD for 50k i would of looked for a used nissian GT-R or a 370z.. ur car and this rx8 are POS that just look fast

  • @MrFlyestNerd yeah but my pos audi stock can wreck ur car, what i look like driving a subaru? im not a ricer and of course you can beat me if ur car isnt stock

  • @dentonbrowne Ok, so you agree, i pay 24k (mods included) to have a car that can beat yours. And driving a subbie isnt rice man its a car that can beat yours without looking like a tool driving it. Now i would call a civic with a giant wing rice or a cavalier even. idk how you can call and STI rice when it can smoke your car stock blows my mind.

  • @MrFlyestNerd thats a dumb ass comment to make anyway, of course a car that isnt stock could beat another car, actually a wrx or a sti probably wouldnt beat me, my car still weight less, i use to work at a vw subaru dealer and those sti's are cool but cant compare to other sports cars, plus most the guys that came in to buy them were asians and white boys with baggy jeans who thought they were black

  • @dentonbrowne The point that is i only put 1k worth of mods into my car with a total of 24k Ur car was 47k, and yea u can prolly beat a WRX with 265hp but you couldnt beat the STI. and people who drive rally cars usally dont try to act black, the little white boys are the ones who buy the VTAC's and put a huge fart can on it. Tools drive your car and this RX8, and chicks

  • @MrFlyestNerd anyways ur just hating cus u cant afford a audi plain and simple

  • @dentonbrowne No i cant afford one and no im not hating becouse i cant afford one, but if i had 47k i 100% would never buy an audi TTS lol

  • @saabkyle04 WoW this is my mom's car lol

  • a beast car, but how many MPG does it get??

  • @shootrmn100 It gets about 12 to 14 mpg.

  • lol i think theres a dvd in the glovebox?

  • i bought it for my first car with my own money dadddys didn't buy it for me lucky

  • i have a 05 with a switchblade key does the 4 have that?

  • who else heard "in the air tonight" in the background lol

  • Kyle you're not supposed to turn the steering wheel when it's not moving it's bad for the steering and tires.

  • I just would like to say that an RX-8 is a terrible first car for anyone... poor reliability, high maintenance, premium fuel, poor fuel economy... hearing all the nightmares makes me glad not to own an RX-8.

  • Just found one these for 4g's :0 and the insurance was only 4g for a 16yr old :0

  • This car is totally awesome! i'm trying to buy one myself atm, Just gotta get it insured and stuff. For some reason it's a 2600cc engine here in belgium. 1300cc would've been way cheaper on tax and stuff :P

  • My dads getting me this for my first car :D.

  • @jbnightmarex Omg me too! :D

  • @jbnightmarex Just what we need.. A spoiled rich kid on the road who doesn't know how to drive, like we don't have enough of those already.

  • @ManOfParody Hey im not even rich so screw u........ i just know where to find good deals on cars

  • @jbnightmarex Unless you're getting that car for 1000, go fuck yourself with your rich daddy :)

  • @ManOfParody

    somebody just sounds jealous if you ask me, these cars can go as low as $7,000 which is pretty average for a first car. So go fuck YOURSELF and feel bad about your life cause you didn't get the car you wanted.

  • @xElxxNinox I never asked for a specific car from my parents because I knew I'd be upset if I did, and I also did my best to not want any as to not upset me. And $7000 for a first car? LOL, go ask around some of your dad's friends and your dad, they should all tell you the same.. "We were lucky if we even had AC."

  • @ManOfParody Ok, back in our dads days you could buy a brand new 69 camaro ss/rs for about 3500$. Now if you want that in a 2011 camaro it costs about 40K, so that's not even a valid comparison. And yeah i know about cars not having AC back then cause that wasn't standard on cars until mid 90s or whenever, and since im currently restoring a 69 nova right now that didn't have factory air, i know PLENTY about what cars did and didnt have back in our dads days. BUT NOW in 2011 $7000 is just right.

  • @xElxxNinox Yea it is right, when it isn't the matter of a first car. And spare your life story next time.

  • @xElxxNinox thx for havin my back man i apreciate it.

  • Tiny Engine!!

  • i was wondering if anyone can tell me if this car is worth the buy. i have the chance to get one i just want to know if it's a good choice.

  • @HotFriedIceCream Worth it IF you are willing to monitor the oil usage. And if you like superior handling. Please get the 6 speed (If u can drive a stick). Hope this helps?

  • Is it just me or did the yellow engine light stay lit on the dashboard after he started the engine? ...problem perhaps?

  • Comment removed

  • Do all RX8 trim's come with the gps option?

  • Comment removed

  • @EngleSackJus

    Why do you say that ?

  • I had that same exact car in 2004. But I didn't gay it up with the ugly body kit.

  • nothing like a k20 or k24 engine...

  • @humilde9818 k20 is more than this

  • im 13 and have been saving for a car for 1 year and i like this car would you recommend this for me i would get a used

  • @sk8chords only if you are capable of driving responsibly. there are too many boy racers and idiots driving this car.

  • @sk8chords no go get a civic

  • Wheres the crash test? ;3

  • @MREURONCAP thank's for the answer;)

  • I like you're videos!;):-bd.......but I have a question.....Why do you press twice the unlock button when you open the car?( I saw this in many videos from u )

  • happy day! i found one of these in lightning Blue and im getting it!! thx to my dad!! :)

  • is this thing selling for 13 900 ?!?!?! HOLY FUCK THAT'S CHEAP

  • I like this car but I jus hate the rotary engines it would b pretty expensive to fix if it breakdown.

  • How many cars today have rotary engines? Just curious.

  • I'm thinking about getting a 2004 Rx8, But I've heard 2 different stories. I heard its very unrealible and is very costful in breakdowns. Ive heard from others that said its a car if you know how to take care of it properly. I'm 17 and this will be my first car that is my own. Imput is much appricieted.

  • @GirGuy36

    lol at some point you have to wonder why they sell these things for cheap, especially for a first car. Can you afford to feed it premium gas and the terrible fuel economy?

  • @jsiszero Yeah I didnt get it, got an 11 Impreza instead. Went to test drive one and they couldn't get it started lol.

  • @vol.  It is a 4 door coupe. Figure that! I love mine

  • beautiful car

  • does this car count as a sedan or sport car?

  • @Volaverunt2015 progressive rates it as a sports car

  • I WANT THIS CAR!!!

  • What's the better car? The Mazda RX8 or the BMW 330ci?

  • @biostyle 330ci lol

  • @shivam220 And the reason is..?

  • @biostyle RX8 Definately

  • @biostyle neither my friend sold his rx-8 231bhp i pursuaded him to buy a 330"d" 246bhp and it's much faster and economical

  • the air vent on the side is crooked

  • How much are you asking for this car?

  • Yea I had a 2004 RX8 GT, the week I bought it check engine light came on and sometimes would turn over a few times before it started..took it to mazda 5 times to get it checked cost me 1600 bucks and still had the same problem...no warrenty Mazda them selves wouldnt help, codes were saying valve stuck but they replaced them twice, sold car now have altima coupe and love it...LOVED THE RX8 BUT THEY ARE VERY PROBLEMATIC, CHECK AROUND AND YOU WILL SEE!!

  • @kingcwhat i bought 04 rx8 two years ago, didnt have any problems aside from auto level headlights not workin, did not intend to drive it thru 2 minnesota winters but my luck sucks and i had to, it has survived brilliantly ive had no problems at all and i've also driven it 35k miles in 2 years, which is more than previous 1 owners years combined, and no problems at all, driven daily, starting in -25 degree weather in all, EVERY CAR IS PROBLEMATIC, CHECK AROUND AND YOU WILL SEE!! dousche

  • @tableoftisch Man, I know you love your Mazda..I did too. Coolest car I ever drove and loved going around corners, including on/exit ramps!! The sound...AMAZING..is it sometimes hard to hold on while going around corners?...YES. I'm telling you, I did mad research before i bought this car, in fact the first one i test drove broke down, I was still interested!! the dealer knew I wanted the car and never called me back! Drove 5 hrs to get the one i bought, NOTHING BUT TROUBLE!! LOVE MY ALTIMA!!

  • @kingcwhat u probably didnt know how to take care of it.

  • @tableoftisch im looking to get rid of my prelude and get an rx8 but everyone keeps putting me off with fuel costs problems etc, but as you said every car has issues. look at the s15 for example the list is endless. the good thing for me is that im in australia so our winters arent anywhere near as cold as you guys have in the states so the issues of it not starting arent as prevalent, but is the fuel cost really as bad as people make it out to be?

  • @natalie0785 gas prices keep goin up, thats about the only problem cuz i only put premium in mine. if you drive it like a normal you can expect about 20mpg. but ya gotta rev it cuz thats what it likes n lowest ive ever gotten was 17.5mpg. on the highway doin 70 with cruise you can get 25mpg all day. about 250 miles per tank is avg for me, highest ive gotten is 315. i drive mine every day n have never minded spendin gas money so its not a problem to me at least :P its a great car! def get one :)

  • @natalie0785 if you want pointers on what to look for when buyin one just message me n ill help ya out :P

  • the 2003-present Mazda RX-8 is assembled in

    Hiroshima, Japan

    Pretoria, South Africa

  • does it have an auxiliary input??????

  • the red engine light is on. what happened?

  • hey do these come with diffrent engines than the rotary

  • @turtlejake1

    No, this is a rotary only car. But rotary's drive like no other car, so you should see how it drives before you remove all consideration for it :)

  • Hot car!! I own the same one! Purchased it in 2003. Simply enjoy it STILL!!

  • My dad's car :) but my dad has a black one

  • 0:23 :D

  • does every 2004 mazda have the gps

  • @slaya192420 no, its an option.

  • @slaya192420 - no only the grand touring models...

  • This year rx8 had a recall on the engine. We just traded in our '04 rx8 with a 2007 engine for a 2010 gmc sierra:)

  • "Like this video", BEFORE watching..

  • Why there is a beeping sound, when the car is started?

  • what kind of mechanics or/and electrical in engine or transmission problem normally appears in this mazda? thanks

  • very nice car

    is it rotary engine???

    i like rotary engine , Ranklcycle is more efficient than other cycle,thank you^_^

  • hav u done any bikes...???

    i like ur videos...

  • can you hock-up a mp3 or ipod in the mazda

  • @africanking220 someone sells a board that plugs into the back of the radio, and you can then add your choice of device. (there are also other ways to hack it yourself)

    Not sure on the price, if you search around on rx8club website you will find the info you need.

  • I want one!

  • how much did that one cost?

  • @CMAstudios Didnt you see the price tag at the front ?

  • @mqmqmwmw yea I saw that after I posted the comment

  • HEY EVERYONE--- THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE MAZDA HAS A RECAL ON THIS ENGINE---- THAT'S RIGHT -- A RECALL-- AND IF YOU HAVE THIS CAR YOU CAN GET A BRAND NEW ENGINE--- YEAH !!!!!! the dealer just called and told me YEAH !!! i just got me a brand new car.. warranty included on new engine..... YES !

  • @1yourtrust2 the recall is on which years of the Rx8?

  • The Mazda RX-8 utilizes a rotary engine which is awesome!! I think I will look good in one.  Blue perhaps. = )

  • rotarys are known for hi revs & most drivers love hi revs couse is good for the car life but that require ad oil . for my experience I will say rx8 need a bout a quarter every 3k if you drive the car & don't check oil & do oil changes after 5 or 6k you are in troble don't spect long life on engiene I check oil level avery 3 weeks.  but if you love sport cars as soon you drve rotarys you under stand what we are talking about. check mine "rx8 mx5 my sport rides"

  • are there a lot of technical issues with this car? if yes how can i avoid some?

    I really love the way this car looks and the price is decent, looking forward to getting one. However all the things i hear about flooded engines and stuff puts me off.

    Someone make clear how to avoid events like this please.

  • you didnt show the boot !

  • is the 04 mazda rx8 a good car

    because someone told me the 2004 are kind of bad an i should go with a 2005 an up.

  • @thegame3z rx8 is a great care unique handling & really smooth ride. & is true 04 & 05 had some problems 04 & 05 owner had flooding problem some engines got replased after 30k mazda said was becouse of bad maintanence but did a recall extend warranty on engine to 100k & inprove spark plugs & lubrication compression. & from 06 is pretty reliable afcourse you have to know the car. some rx8 owners never pay attention to oil & after time they are going to have problems ...

  • why is the check engine light on

  • why was the engine lite on??
