2006 Mazda RX8 230 PS review from UK and Ireland
"If you want it, its got it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel nuts starting to show signs of corrosion.
Gear lever knob has come loose after purchasing optional 2 tone leather base and illuminated knob.
General comments?
Turn of speed most welcome when needed and brings smile to face doing it.
Cabin layout very pleasing.
Xenon lights are excellent for fast night driving.
Seats aren't up to German standards and can be a bit uncomfortable during long trips.
But that's typical of other sporty Japanese seats.
Dip stick could be in a more practical location with regards to frequent use.
