2005 Mazda RX8 review from North America
"Fantastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been absolutely no problems with this car.
General comments?
After reading several reviews, it appears that most negative comments are for RX8's with an automatic in a cold climate. I believe anyone purchasing a sports car with an auto tranmission is buying merely for looks or convenience and NOT performance. I bought mine for crisp handling, acceleration and the option of holding four occupants. It has been flawless in every aspect. Move to Florida, buy the manual and enjoy!
