2004 Mazda RX8 review from North America
"Don't buy it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flooding issues, won't' start. my concern at this point is the gas washing effect on flooding has shortened the motor life. Dealership told her nothing wrong with car.
Little hard for 6 footers and up to get into car.
Rear lights collecting water inside.
You have to crank motor to 4k to let clutch out, or will stall, <Doing this wears clutch out faster>
General comments?
If they could fix flooding issue, would consider keeping it,, but no fix at this time.
