2004 Mazda RX8 from UK and Ireland - Comments

I've had my RX-8 for about a year now, it's a 2004 Velocity red touring edition with black & red leather leather & I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

If there is a comparison to be made, please do it with cars of the same "genre"; a Cougar isn't even in the same class, despite any "advantages" someone may feel exist. As stated previously, it really comes down to personal taste.

No, my RX-8 won't catch many states coming off the starting line, but it's how you run (and hence win) the race that really matters, yes?

Every time I drive long distance on the highway there comes along some youngish speedfreak in a Mustang GT or similar vehicle, and you know what? I DUST THEM. And if you throw ANY curves into the mix, then forget it.

The RX-8 handles better than cars twice its cost. And I have driven Porsche 911s and BMW M3s. My car drives like a friggin' jet fighter, is tight in the turns, has very decent power (how much does one really require?) and is very deep-seated & cozy. The controls are located perfectly.

One reason I also chose the RX-8 is that it is made in JAPAN. Sorry, Ford enthusiasts, but Americans, while possessing the ABILITY to make a high quality car, do not do so.
