Published on Aug 15, 2009 | Filled under: Mazda, Sports Car
The 2009 Mazda RX-8 receives praise for its great handling dynamics and roomy backseat, but loses points for having insufficient power and a fuel-thirsty, high-maintenance rotary engine.
Five years after its introduction, the ‘09 RX-8 receives a light refresh that enhances its aggressive exterior design, and adds a driver-focused R3 trim to the mix.
The 2009 Mazda RX-8 is offered in four trims: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, and R3.
Some Pros and Cons about Mazda RX-8:
- Handles extremely well
- Rear doors make accessing the backseat easy
- Large backseat fits two adults
- Rotary engine needs constant attention
- Sluggish performance in low rpms
- Disappointing fuel economy
