2005 Mazda RX8 GT review from North America
"Graceful power and stability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 6 CD changer continues to break down due to problems reading burned CD play lists.
Everyone wants to race you.
General comments?
This car is spectacular. The look and feel, the comfort, and most of all, the graceful power.
The D.T.S. system on this car makes this car far more solid on the road compared to a BMW M3, and any domestic I've come across. Where other cars have wiped out (and yes they have), this car takes control, and keeps you safe.
The turbo option for this car is SPECTACULAR.
Nothing I have ever driven is this graceful, and this enjoyable. When I don't want to drive a sports car, I can still comfortably drive this car. When I want to put everyone behind me, this car does it fairly well. Considering the price, you get far more than domestics.
You know why you want an RX8, it's not the fuel economy. If you want that, buy a regular car that's pretending to be a sports car. This car in particular, is attractive to look at.
See you on the road!
Cheers!
