Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Edmunds writes, "Although the Mazda RX-8 looks like a race-tuned sports car, its demeanor on the road is considerably more docile. Its ample grip through corners and solid feedback through the steering wheel make it an absolute riot on a serpentine road, yet the car's compliant ride means that it won't beat you up on the daily commute. The rotary engine requires high engine speeds to make serious power, but the delivery is virtually vibration-free and noise levels are subdued. If you like a smooth engine in feel, sound and power delivery, the RX-8's is second to none. Inside the cabin, the RX-8's innovative two-person backseat and reverse-opening rear half-doors provide the sort of practicality no other sports car can match. Provided rear-seat passengers are of average size, those seated in the back will find supportive seating and ample room. Overall, the RX-8 is one of the best examples of a car that's both fun to drive and very livable on a day-to-day basis. "...

But, she has a couple shopping cart-like dings that should be visible in photos. Have not been driving car for a few months, so it is time to go. Known Issues: * A/C working but should be recharged. * Threw code P2260 (“AIR solenoid valve control circuit h igh ON 2 CCM"); cleared itself, but suspect valve needs cleaning or replacement (about $100) * Battery discharged while I was traveling so various dash lights are on. * Radio display on dashboard is in ‘disco’ mode so display is not readable – suspect a loose connection. * As seen in photos, alloy wheels could use refinishing. * my son gets his driving permit in 6 months and this is too much car for a teenager to handle.
