Mazda RX8 , what’s to know about them?

Curious, that’s all. Are they a good weekend toy?

Never heard anything good about them from a reliability standpoint.

Rotor tips need replacing more often than I’d like. It ain’t cheap.

They are cheap AF to buy with 75k on the clock.
Ask yourself if there’s a reason for that…

No direct experience but a relative bought one brand new and sold it after less than a year.

The suicide rear doors were interesting.
