  • hey what did he said about turnin it off just after you turn it on?!? what could happen to the engine!??!?!?

  • @defryer1 Its a rotary engine, you have to let it warm up. Its kind of like a diesel motor, so you do not wanna turn on the car and turn it back off right away because it can flood the motor. Rotary cars will last if maintain well but many people dont know how to take care of their rotary motors.

  • @saabkyle04 Beautiful car dude! I have the 6 speed. BTW Top Gear took the Mazda RX8 on their test track, had the same time as the Nissan 350z which has 300HP. Mine also has the flip-up Navigation (which I never use) but it's slick. I've had mine since 2005 and have had ZERO problems. Only thing that aggravated me was when it was time to change the spark plugs. The engine is so low and far back that you have to take off the driver side tire. They aren't cheap either. 4 plugs cost me $80 US.

  • You don't know how to drive an rx8 yr not suppose to shift anywhere under 3500 RPM. It's a rotary. Idiots like you ruin these cars. Made to drive in high RPMs. Stop driving it like a bitch and drive it like a man an the car lasts longer driving it that way

  • nice RX8

  • You say "I can't even imagine how fun the manual would be". The next camera shot should be you looking through the owners manual going, "Wow...this is amazing!" lol

  • fucking starts raining right in the middle of it, trolol

  • What is the name of the song played on 3:50?

  • @maserati315 Sammy Hagar- I can't drive 55

  • @dav8388 Thanks!

  • i would keep watching but it is an automatic. thumbs if you agree

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

    Transmission

    4-speed automatic

    6-speed automatic

    5-speed manual

    6-speed manual

  • what do you mean auto/stick? stick is the only way to go.

  • Hey at least you dont drive a kia that you have to rev match its automatic downshifts. yeah, i get to practice downshifts, wussup.

  • Automatic transmission on this car = shit.

  • I have an automatic transmission RX8. :(

  • automatic gearboxes seriously suck

  • automatic gearboxes seriously suck

  • sexy little car.

  • the auto gear will come only with 192hp

  • sounds amazing after 6.5K RPM :) BTW for those interested in rotary engines you should do yourself a favour and look up "4 rotor" videos on YouTube, amazing engineering.

  • @Droymarin i have an rx8 manual and im american

  • who cares if its auto or manual...sthu! a car is a freaking car

  • super cars

  • 9:12 - Thats what she said!

  • Weird how the automatic redlines at 9 and the manual is 10 thou

  • @BlueXBearr

    The auto redlines at 7.5K, not 9K. The manual redlines at 9K

  • lol auto faggot

  • lmao perfect song " i cant drive 55" lol. i agree. i prefer the MT versus the AT on these. they are FUN. and that red line. is for the most part symbolic/just for looks on the non turbo versions. there really is no red line. if you buried the needle, in a turbo youd risk blowing the apex seals aka piston rings lol. but that is the extent of the risks there.

  • i thought i was in my computer chair in my room and i was trying to unlock the lock so i could lean back but this piece of shit chair it way to stiff

  • sounds nice

  • I'd buy this if it didn't drink fuel and oil like crazy

  • whuever said auto is for the weak, think again. Do Ferrari have manual or auto transmission ? Oh yes, ask M.Schumacer if he knows how to drive manual transmission ? anyway he's still a better driver than you. Soon, manual transmission is no more than just a display in a museum. TRY TO ACCEPT THE FACT

  • @casp3rization exactly i don't get why ppl obsess over manual its just a different type of transmission some cars are actually better off being auto seriously just leave it alone if you like to play with your stick then go have fun with it

  • @casp3rization in essence ferrari does have manual transmission. just not in the strictest sense. their transmissions are called automated manuals. ( has gears) automatics are clutches. a series of them. people want manuals on sports cars like this. michael schumacher knows how to drive a manual transmission equipped vehicle :) some people nowadays refuse to elarn manual transmission. even though it takes all of 5 minutes to learn

  • Where's the clutch on that automanual car? Or does it even have one?

  • How much mpg does it get???

  • @sohbkobe 23 hwy i think

  • whats wrong with auto transmission? i live in the middle of brisbane city

  • @landraider101 for one you don't get the max hp. also the rx8 was engineered to be revd a little more than ordinary. the car wants to be treated with a high rpm. if you don't rev it enough you might find that you are getting worse gas mileage. and of course too much reving is going to get your baby messed up as well. so you need to find a mid- hig h rev point on it. the automatic doesn't give you much control over that. many people have probs simply cause they don't know how to drive the beauty.

  • @GerekJordan93 my style of drive is when i turn into a high speed road get it to red line to see how fast i can get it from 10-80k's cause im a hoon, plus most people i think would use it for looks.

  • @landraider101 I still don't get why people hate it so much lol

  • @landraider101 GTFO

  • I dont care if its a MT or a AT, the car alone looks pretty fun to drive though if you have the money for constent refuel..maybe someday technology will make more economic rotory engines. :)

  • @xXJoshuaDXx theyre more efficient than piston based counter parts when you race them lol. and look at the power. 238 from a 1.3 liter. No other n/a engine can touch that power per liter

  • 9:10 thats what he said

  • Burns so much gas BC the RPM is always so high. Moms Buick is usually close to 2 usually below

  • Your videos are great, would be even better in 1080p!

  • perhaps the previous owner used this as a daily driver and didn't want manual

  • guys dont blame kyle or the car for the autobox, BLAME THE GUY WHO WANTED IT TO BE LIKE THAT.

  • The all i was interested was the train horn all other was rubbish :DD

  • @oskupoika3 Its a self Automated gearbox monkeyz skeet fuck sheep lick dick pluse you dont know that everytime you order numbers its for EX. 1.) 2.) dumbfuck.

  • your supposed to turn it off at 2500 rpm... it dries the spark plugs and can add 40,000 miles to your engine life.

  • If you keep watching it dose have a Manuel mode so hes not so much of a weak pussy.

  • @ang3lb3ar takes no skill to push a button, and it doesnt shift fast either

  • @KXRider212 If the gear box is correctly driven it kinda dose. Just sayin'.

  • @ang3lb3ar

    1) How can you drive a gearbox fuckhead?

    2) What skill is involved in pressing a button when you hear the motor peaking?

    L2 spell nigger

  • @KXRider212 No body said it took skill, automatic these days is more efficient anyway. Manual will always be more fun tho. :)

  • @GrandpaChink How is automatic more efficient, you know how much power is lost through a torque converter ? A clutch is only 5% loss or something compared to 20% from a TC

  • @KXRider212 with the new technology and stuff, auto has better fuel economy in very few cases. I would rather have a manual tho.

  • @KXRider212 Fucking racist...

  • Who would get a auto in an Rx8..?

    Mines a standard :)

  • auto is for the weak

  • @DamedFilms agreed

  • @DamedFilms a car is a car no matter what the transmission is...

  • @DamedFilms ...aka Americans. 

  • @DamedFilms Or for people that like in the city and ALWAYS get stuck in rush hour on the way to work. . .

  • lame model.

  • no cover for the engine? ... rev to 6500 the shut off

  • Nice!

  • Key* Typo

  • @Tarex3 The moment I saw the kwy, I yelled out "WTF" So loud my neighbor asked me If I was ok.☭ ☭ ☭ ☭ ☭ ☭

  • Comment removed

  • the guy testing it homosexual didnt evan go beyond 7000 rpm which this car is built to do

  • @jonandpeg lmao

  • how the hell someone will fit at the back seat???? even a kingdergarden can't fit at the back.. why don't those japanese juz made it as a coupe rx8????

  • lame it's an automatic...

  • Comment removed

  • i have a 2012 mazda 5 and my dad buyed it rx8 is little slow

  • not super fast

  • I love how some models of the 8 and the concept Furai has the shape of a rotor on the rear.

  • would a stock rx - 8 with a cold air intake and a free flowing exhaust be faster / cheaper to buy and own than a cobalt ss/sc with the same aftermarket parts ??

  • @ipodsrdabest First off, the stock intake of the '8 is already optimized. You'll be spending a lot of money on barely any gains (some people have reported a LOSS of power after a CAI). Would it be cheaper to own? No. Would it be a much better car? Yes.

  • @ipodsrdabest Oh, and to address the "faster" part of your question. The '8 would be slower in a straight line, but would trash the SS in real-world driving (i.e. turns).

  • How is this car on MPG? Im looking for a economical car that saves gas and since this car has a 1.3 Engine Im Guessing It saves Gas??? Idk can someone tell me if its a gas saver?

  • @SpunkyMunky0292 It's a rotory engine - not a standard combustion engine as on other cars. It gets around 20mpg with mixed driving in the real world. There's more to a car's economy than the displacement of its engine!

  • @SpunkyMunky0292 ya what ben said, the rule of thumb is that for rotaries you double the displacement, and thats usually how the engine is really. So 1.3l, but has the power and gas consumption as a 2.6 or greater.

  • @pdavid24 It has the power production of a much great displacement, and the gas consumption of a V8. But who buys a sports car and worries about mpg?

  • @SpunkyMunky0292 I hope you're joking, or even trolling for that matter. The RX-8 drinks premium gasoline as fast as a big V8. It's a sports car - if you're looking for mpgs, go buy a hybrid...

  • automatic.............

  • the moment I saw the auto trans, I stopped.

  • whats the top speed of an 2007 mazda rx8?

  • Love the gauges

  • Question:

    At 1:25 he said, Never need to start it up, and turn it off instently, or risk to flode the engine.. but what is that mean? and which cares that we should not do that? and why?

    Or at least let me know search for what through the web to know more about this issue..Great video thx

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

    Transmission

    4-speed automatic

    6-speed automatic

    5-speed manual

    6-speed manual

  • I love that video cool

  • Honestly, I love Manual and it's how I learned how to drive a car but... I'm more of a fan of Shiftable Automatic transmission. You have all the power and control of a manual trans.. but wit a security feature that makes sure you don't stall/slip gears. And who knows, maybe one day you're feeling very lazy- just pop it into automatic :)!

  • You in NC? I'll buy that beast

  • you cant drive...

  • I stopped watching this video after he said auto tranny...

  • my balls are so blue right now.

  • Im guessing the back was made for people with no legs?

  • yo i'd buy this car off of u if I was in north carolina it's a nice small first car

  • i like my tripods in the rear as well :D

  • A little question, I thought flooding issues were fixed on newer models like 06 and up, because I've only heard about 04s and 05s with flooded engines. Ever..

  • @MrBjornar333

    In theory yes 06 and up arent suppose to flood anymore but today i just witnessed a 09 with a flooded engine :(

  • mazda rx-8 je najboljaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • @SkinnyPantsNdSumVans most Japanese cars have the handbrake on the passenger side

  • I want!

  • automatic suck dick exsept a truck

  • It's not really an auto, but not a manual either. It's got those stupid flappy paddles.

  • this is the worst test drive video i have ever seen in my whole entire life my grandma she can make a better test drive video and she doesnt even have a car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm sorry but Why would you buy 4 spd auto (I think they upgraded it to 5 spd), when you can hvae 6 speed Manual. Plus have you driven this car on Manual? It's transmission is sooo smooth!

  • hows the sound system. im a teen that likes dubstep rap and other bass full songs, would i need too get another sub woofer?

  • the gear changes r pretty slow

  • Why is there 9000 rmp ?? ale why didint he push the gass fully ?? the petals are slow :P and u need a shit load of money for this car to roll... :D

  • Who Are You?

  • Petrol must be horrible with the auto?

  • automatic haters can suck it!

  • The paddles shifting is more responsive then I imagined it would be, however, the power decrease in the auto trans just ruins this car, its a handicap.

  • come on mate get it to the 7!

  • Oh also i live in New England so would this car be good any good in any kind of weather condition?

  • Im jw my Dad and i were looking into cars for me and this'll be my first car too. So i just have some question. The spec is 2004 with around 63k miles. I did some research and it looks like it needs a lot of maintenance with the oil and scheduled maintenance too. I love cars so it wouldnt really have a prob with all that stuff but as a first car though is it worth it spending all the money on those things? or should i wait til im older and can find a better paying job? Thanks :D

  • @aznkid221 work at a dealer while ur in college idk

  • I am 6'4 and I fit perfectly into my 8. I got the Manual Version, way fun to drive, nice video

  • what does he mean flooding the engine?

  • These testdrives are great. Hopefully youll do some more.

  • Man, this car looks like fun!

  • Is only automatic? Can't shift manually?

  • @fvadelin there is manual transmission

  • with an rx8 before u start driving warm up the engine, when u get out let it cool down with the engine running. check oil every 500 miles. and use premium unleaded gasoline. do those things and ur rx8 should keep the butterflies in ur stomach every you drive this car. i plan on getting one soon. GET A MANUAL its badd ass. you get more hp and its more fun to drive. also dont be fooled by the 1.4L engine. that engine puts out more than most v6 piston engines. make sure u get the renisis engine too

  • @TheFurb15 I agree with most of which you say, except it's a 1.3L rotary with 232HP. And even with the auto, it has over 210. I'd go with an auto because this car isn't like it's brother the Rx-7 who put out 270Hp stock. This car seems to be more of an executive cruiser and if you drive in traffic a manual will just piss you off with the constant shifting which is not good for the clutch. Long distance (over 100 miles round trip) I'd get an auto, but yeah the RX-8 is really bad ass, cheers!

  • At what year do they start using the switchblade key?

  • Auto's are for thick people who have no idea how a clutch works.

  • @modernshitblizzard i agree manual makes me feel like a bad ass. plus u get more hp. i have close relatives in the auto business. one of which works with mazdas. she told me that the most rx8's that come into the shop with problems are autos. also, this car is a monster. it needs to be run hard. to actually take care of the car u need to rev those rpms high. it literally thirsts for speed. get a renesis engine it has been updated to its full potential. they changed also things that them break.

  • Comment removed

  • about as much leg room as a damn supra

  • get a beetle you noob

  • prrrrrrrr auuuu prrrrrrrrr auuuu prrrrrrrr auuuuu

  • I dirive Automatic...who got a problem? its his car..not ur's...cry me a river

  • the reason they would buy a automatic is because its semi-automatic transmission. So if you wanna drive manually you can and if you wanna drive it automatic you can!

    just like a BMW!

  • dang you can amputate someones legs with that little space in the back..find it kind of pointless that this is a 4 seater??

  • @josumadre Actually I sat in a 2005 rx8 just yesterday, I'm 17 and am 5' 8" tall. It was quite comfortable. The seat was pretty much all the way back and my knees weren't even touching!

  • Is this a good first car?

  • @Anduza17 yes very good car the top speed of this car is 169 mph

  • what type of octane does she take?

  • @Islanders1972 91+ (Premium)

  • Auto Trans RX8 + cloth interior = Fail.

  • @ParthoMusic 0-60 on Manual is around 6.3 seconds

    0-60 on automatic is 10.2 seconds

    WHAT THE FUCK

  • @ParthoMusic I would still rather have this instead of my 1.6 avensis...

  • @ParthoMusic lol agreed, its the worst of the worst, so is the silver color

  • what does that 2 silver down things mean ?

  • i have an rx8 05 i could never imagine driving a automatic especially with this car

  • ugly RIMSSSS

  • ohh then how do u drift u use the pedal

  • wow the steering on that car is really loose... and also can you flood the engine from down shifting too fast in the manual mode?

  • do u have to clutch when u use da pedal shifter

  • @MASTERMARK360 no because there is no clutch on the automatic transmission. The point of paddle shifters is to have the feel of a manual (sort of) without the hassle.

  • who would ever by an automatic of this car?

  • @eezee64 i would get a semi-auto with the paddles..

  • @eezee64 a girl? maybe

  • @eezee64 Fucking pussies.

  • @eezee64 people who cant drive stick...

  • @eezee64 When you don't have much money and happen to find a cheap automatic...? Dick.

  • @eezee64 somebody who prefers simplicity

  • @eezee64 this guy did

  • @eezee64 for the same reasons kyle got an automatic

  • @eezee64 I would cuz riding a manual requires too much work.

  • @eezee64 im not trying to make fun of u but i would i cant drive stick

  • @eezee64 people who dont wanna drive a stick every day. it gets pretty annoying

  • @eezee64 Thats actually a really nice cloth interior lets be honest. Much better then the ugly looking designs or abnormal crap that toyota or honda uses.
