2005 Mazda RX8 review from North America
"Mazda says Zoom Zoom, I say Doom Doom!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At just under 600 miles, the car wouldn't start. It was diagnosed with a defective starter and a malfunctioning crank sensor.
General comments?
A beautiful car that won't start is like a good employee that doesn't show up for work... absolutely worthless.
There's no excuse for a brand new car developing these defects at 600 miles.
Mazda needs to take another look at their parts supplier.
