  • ZOOM-ZOOM!!!

    The RX-8 is one of the most beautiful & graceful sports cars of all time....such a wonder of engineering!!

    ROTARY4EVER!!!

  • RX8 is a symbol of beauty

  • I got one of these babies. Buy one, especially if you like visiting petrol stations tho'! 21 MPG at the most!

  • they had nothing else better to mention and had to smoke with some 'electric front windows' 0:34.

  • So i must expect this answers from brain invalid people like you because the first stupit thing is that you believe and like this thing that you call engine. If this is the future of engines shity junky then why hundred of car manufacturers do not give a shit for developing renesis ? Tell me Why ?!

  • イケメン8

  • My car in 5 months time.

  • My future car. <3

  • How much stupit mus be or have no knowledge about cars to buy an RX-8. I checked the mazda rx-8 club site and all discusions was about engine problems and engine blows.

  • @FrappeTsigaro GTFO YOU TROLL! I friggin saw your comment on the BBC Top Gear review on the Rx-8. You don't like the car?...Fuck off. The car doesn't like you! Good day! :)

  • @Phil2Drei Probably you are one of the stupid people.

  • @FrappeTsigaro LOL probably I'm not buddy. Probably I'm a mechanic that works at Mazda, probably I'm not, probably I own one, probably I don't.You don't seem to be sure about anything buddy. (: One thing's for sure, your an inconsiderate person. Let me teach you something; If you don't like the car... don't go on the video where people want to see it and 'probably' already like it. It would save you from getting your ass handed to you by me with words. (: K bye!

  • @Phil2Drei Ok boy, i respect your opinion and you must respect mine. The car is so good for so many aspects i mean stability on the road brakes engine power and response etc. But all the focused dislike of this car is because it has an non reliable engine and i am sure that you and all RX8 owners suffer from engine problems because of the type of the Wankel. Anyway i am an mechanic engineer too and i still believe that RX8 must wear HONDA S2000 engine to be a perfect machine. ;-)

  • @FrappeTsigaro Agreed! :D Truce? :)

  • @FrappeTsigaro This really was a stupid comment. It's an internet community about the car, it's naturally going to be biased towards posts about problems with it because people want help with those problems. You obviously know nothing about the Renesis or rotary engines in general. And if you're a mechanical engineer, God help us all. You probably don't know the first things about a piston engine, let alone a rotary.

  • @FrappeTsigaro

    I own one, and I freakin love it. Funnest car to drive and looks gorgeous. On the other hand, you have a point. the 04 05 engine were experiencing seals that were wearing out quick, therefore causing engine failure before 100000 miles. But mazda stepped up and put them under warranty. I have a brand new engine replaced at 98000 miles. As with any high end item, they require you to keep an eye on all of the bells and whistles.

  • yay a black one

  • so pretty, but soooo sloooow.

  • @darkgod1117 Are you serious? this car in 2004 was just as fast as 2004 M3.

  • @AlmightyGTR uh...yeah...the car is very slow. an altima can beat it from a roll. im a 350z hr owner, and i stomp on em all the time

  • @darkgod1117 It was never built for straight line. Rotaries are not built to accelerate, they are built to maintain teh speed in turns. Two different racing philosophies. 1. you have a big high torque engine and you acclerate hard, but this engine will cause higher centripetal forces, due to which you have to break harder and cant carry speed in corners. 2. On the other side you have light low torque engine which maintains the speed in corners.

    These are purpose built cars.

  • @darkgod1117 *brake*

  • @darkgod1117 IMO, if you don't understand simple physics, stop watching car videos.

  • @AlmightyGTR actually i understand advanced physics if u wanna be technical. just to blow ur whole theory outta the water.....an rx8 cant beat my hr z on a track or anywhere else for that matter. its has no power but yes is very light weight...the only problem is the z will lead the 8 into the corner....the 8 will close distance in the corner, but then lose it again coming out of the corner. beautiful car tho, i am a mazda fan, just not an rx8 fan because its a huge letdown. ever drive them??

  • @darkgod1117 Please check the top gear review for the lap times. Actually my first car was an rx8. :) I gave it to my younger brother, but I still get to drive it. Its the special edition with injected suspension and extra rigid chassis and full leather and suede interior, etc etc. Still turns heads.

  • @AlmightyGTR wow, the same time for the track run...ur missing a small detail....it wasnt an hr...

  • @AlmightyGTR top gear used a non HR for their track times.

  • Honestly, I do agree with the fuel costs but that's the nature of rotary engines.. And having said that, it is also why rotary powered cars suffered lack of torque at low revs.. That can be fustrating sometimes..but I do admit its flaws but at the same time, appreciate ithe good things abt this car too.. Sound of rotaries at high revs, well-balanced car, great handling, nimble and responsive... So far, I have fun driving on bends, winding roads and mountain roads. :)

  • these are the worst cars ever! i have had mine 6months and its for sale already! avoid like the plague! you have been warned!!

  • @wrxjima why. give an argument

  • @wrxjima

    Please justify or support your claims.. Either you did not maintain it well or you were unlucky to get one with problems but wait, I don't even know what your problem is.. I have to clarify that every car has its own fair share of problems.. it's how you take care of it. RX8 is not as bad as you put it here.

  • @leolim79

    but wait, i didnt even say i had any problems with my rx8....i just said they are the worst cars ever....i know cars like the back of my hand, i know how to maintain the rotary engines.....what i cant stand about this car is....

    1- the fuel costs, it uses fuel like a top end performance car and certainly dosnt have the performance to justify using that much fuel!

    2- the torque is shite, come to a hill and start dropping the gears 5th 4th 3rd 2nd ah there we go i can get up the hill!

  • @wrxjima

    No offence here.. RX8 is a unique car and does have its strengths & weakness. It is not a car for everyone I have to say. Poor low end torque and high fuel costs don't make it the worst car ever. Peace.

  • @squantotheboywonder

    Umm idk what the difference is to other vehicles but my bumper was 300 and one of my taillights was 150. Plus the cost to install it n paint it etc but that's separate. Great car though.love my 8 and best of luck to you with yours

  • I have an rx8. Love It. only complaint I have is the parts are so expensive if you need to replace any of them

  • @MissDarling92 like how much more than say a dodge stratus or something like that? im looking to buy one but dont want to spend a ton of money on repairs and stuff like that. if i dont get this im getting a neon srt-4

  • Love mine!!

  • I love my RX8

  • if you don't trade your mustang for one of these i will find you... haha jk but i hate the mustang the rx8 is so unique and with a exhaust system (like mine) it crackles pops and has diff tones you can also hear mine from 4 miles away... im not shitting you i got it on video and the mustang is so bland and has 1 tone that just gets louder... boooorrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnn­nnnnnngggggggg

  • should i trade my mustang in for one of these

  • @IL0NGHORNS Yes if you like superb handling, unique exhaust note, high rev driving and unique fun driving experience, no if you like torque and that V8 soundtrack..... I used to own a 07 6mt RX8, I missed having some torque so i visited a ford dealership and test drove a mustang gt.... after about 10 minutes I handed the keys back to the salesman and said thanks and i will be keeping the mazda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm getting one tommorow hopefully

  • amazing how good it looks and the fact that it can do 231 bhp and is only 1.3L !!!

  • lol @ the irony of an oil add at the start... we DONT need to be reminded that rotors chew oil

  • did they really just move the steering wheel over on the non US versions, without rearranging the transmittion set up. What i mean is that 1 looked like the E brake handle is blocking the shifter.

  • @wrxstiawd yes lol... nobody should buy a mazda now! :D

  • Buying one of these is so impractical. Piss poor gas mileage, not at all fast, high maintenance, etc. etc. Only thing this has going for it is handling.

  • @lamborghiniexotics It's a track car not a straight line car lol. That little 1.3 eats 300+ hp (including the 300z) on tracks. Not to mention having 4 actually usable seats. Not that fast at low revs, no, but if you know how to work the manual properly it's fast enough, and 155 MPH isn't even close to slow, not compared to anything in it's price range anyways.

    Try again.

  • Makes me so proud to own my 8

  • Forget the car, this review is shot and edited really well... better than top gear; but road review is done much better by top gear

  • Love this "Coop Hay" Loved it so much I bought the little bugger!

  • at 2:17, is he doing a rap?

  • what would you choose the rx8 or civic type r

  • @vteca  rx8 rear wheel drive!!!!!

  • @vteca 2 totally different cars, u cant compare the 2, the rx8 is more a sporty coupe and the type r is more of a, tune and street race car, it all depends on ur taste, get what u want, not what the other guy wants

  • such a handsome car

  • what year is this one?

  • @Chustaian 2009 model SPORT version...

  • I hate youtube commercials

  • I am a banana.

  • @SkinnayGenes my spoon is yo big, my spoon is to big!

  • @SkinnayGenes ma spoons to big, MA SPOONS TO BIG lol
