2005 Mazda RX8 review from North America
"Dream Machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O2 sensor code at 13000, CAT was blown, covered under warranty.
General comments?
This car is a dream machine... It fits like a glove, handles like a cat, and looks like no other.
The rear seat is perfect for my 4 year old son, think family car on the inside, all panther outside.
If you do not understand rotaries, don't buy one. Like any woman, when they get attention, they perform perfectly.
