2004 Mazda RX8 review from UK and Ireland
"Total Rubbish, What a waste of Money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS was not working the day I picked my car up.
Then 2 days later the electric seats stopped working.
Then a week after that the radio started smoking then blew itself up.
After only 800 miles the ABS stopped working for the second time.
At 1350 miles the Air-con Stopped working.
General comments?
This car was the biggest heap of rubbish that I have ever owned.
That is why I bought the car for over £20,000 and sold it to some boy racer for almost half that. Hope that he Kills it quickly.
The car looked great from the outside. It was a real head turner. But I didn't, but it just for people to look at it I wanted to be able to enjoy driving it too.
To top all of this off when I got to know my local dealer in Surrey, (As you do when your car spends so much time there) he tried to make out that it was the way that I was driving my car that was causing it to go wrong.
When I asked the guy if he was joking he said no because he had never known a RX8 to go wrong before.
(What fantastic customer service)
I Wished that I had never laid eyes on the car and had kept my 2002 Honda S2000, That car had done almost 90,000 miles and had owned it from new and it never once let me down.
