Mazda RX-8 Overview

The RX-8 comes in two variants: the MT with a 238 horsepower rotary engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission and the AT with a 212 horsepower rotary engine mated to a six-speed automatic. The six-speed automatic comes with steering-wheel mounted paddle controls for semi-manual shifting. It seats four adults very comfortable and has suicide doors making entering and exiting the vehicle convenient. Safety features that come standard include frontal and side-impact airbags for the front passengers, and curtain airbags front and rear.

The Mazda RX-8 is a carryover from 2006.
