Miles Overview
The RX-8 is Mazda's rotary-powered sports coupe, a car that stood apart from the usual piston-engine crowd. It's genuinely fun to drive, with sharp handling and a high-revving character that rewards a spirited run through the curves. The cabin is comfortable and stylish, with supportive seats and a clever half-door setup that makes the back seats easier to reach. Owners love the looks and the driving experience, but they also talk about the rotary's appetite for oil and the risk of engine trouble. The automatic RX-8 trades the six-speed manual's sharper engagement for easier daily driving, and it's the more affordable way into the rotary experience. Its 1.3L rotary spins to a high redline, but the automatic transmission blunts some of the rev-happy character that makes the manual so memorable, and you'll see 19 mpg combined. The automatic was the only way to get the RX-8 with a sunroof, a small comfort that the manual cars didn't offer.
