The Mazda RX-8 is weird, cool, and special -- and you probably shouldn't buy one. Today I'm reviewing the Mazda RX-8, and I'm showing you all the quirks and features of the unusual RX-8. I'm also driving the RX-8, and I'm going to show you why you shouldn't consider one, even though it's cool.

I just watched a man complain about minor inconveniences and circles for 30 minutes
I believe this is what the youth of today call "binge watching"
You can tell the owner talked badly about this car before he gave it to Doug but why didn't he get his damn car detailed proves to me the dude didn't give a shit
It’s the beeping every button pressed for me 😍
Someone let him review their clean r3
5:17 "the bomb has been planted"
THE rx-8 looks amazing. Everything you pointed out, i really liked (besides the licence plate)
I had three 2nd generation RX-7's, the rotary engine was superior to other engines through turns, drove them over 50k miles each (they started with over 70k when I bought them) and never lost one seal, no idea how the seal rumor got started but it is as false as can be. With street Toyo tires on stock rims it did one G in corners all day and I never once had brake fade. I graduated university, prepared to buy the RX-8...but as you can see from the numerous terrible design ideas, there was no way. I would buy the 2nd or 3rd Generation RX-7's right now if they sold it new with a larger rotary engine. I agree with Doug on the ugliness, absolutely ruined the style of the car so bad they had to call it a different number.
That rotary will rev forever. The beep of the buttons can be turned off.
This was the best car in nfs carbon
So are engine modifications possible or no
Mazda making credit card keys a decade before tesla
My dad has an rx8 and has no problems
All cars have problems... the RX8 just happens to have all of them.
i have loved the RX-8 since i was a tiny child.
13:53 that’s what she said
Does it go fast?
Not really...
you gave this car a higher score than you talked about it lol. i demand a recount.
10:10 this angle tho, what in Alice in Wonderland is going on here 🤣

These cars has a bad Reputation. That's why they don't make them anymore.. anyone agrees in 2021 = I love Watermelons
The RX8 was the worst mazda ever made.
How many time he said circle 👇🏻
I have not see this car in years I remember being a teenager I wanted it but I choose a s2000
My RX8 had a regular key, this one looks weird as hell
I, The Raven, enjoy the way this car looks. *pecks at ground vigorously*
37k likes richer...
I'm sorry but that chart at the end just ruined all the credibility.
My first car, and a stick too
Ever since Doug said that the 996 was the most beautiful 911 (from certain angles), he has had a warped sense of reality.
He could have clean the car...
Doug hates circles cause he's a square....
Everything he said he didn't like style wise is why I love it xD
Nobody: Doug: The gear lever has a circle in it.
Doug - Its also a triangle like the rotor
Its was mimicking the saturn ion
i remember my father getting an manual 04 rx~8 back in 09, for $13k , so much fun, sadly after 3 years, once it reached 105k miles, nothing but maintenance issues
The sound of those buttons make me think that the glovebox is actually a microwave.
Doug's type guy to be bubbas girl freind I'm any prison system
its a 190 brake interest lost instantly
I hate the door situation
The front looks fine but the back destroys the whole of it
All cars have problems , this car has all problems !
I almost bought this car but was told not to because of the engine!
The 2.2k dislikes are from the Mazda fan boys
rx8: Circles Lamborghini: hExaGOnS
ive had my rx8 for 2 years, its at 174,000kms, original engine. Best car ive ever driven
Those sun visors come in handy when the sun is directly behind the four-way stop sign in 5 o'clock traffic. The rotary engine normally produces 7500-9500 rpm before changing gears, whether you have an automatic or manual, respectively. Those engines run hot and you need premium fuel. You must also race the engine once a week, minimum, to keep carbon buildup at minimum levels. 2011 RX-8 owner PS - if possible, when purchasing from a dealer, get the premium extended warranty. At 84K miles, my transmission and engine had to be replaced. Cost more than the car's worth. In addition to that, everything's been replaced due to maintenance upkeep. On mile 3000. :-)
I can't unhear Doug saying, "Circle."
This is damn good looking car doug i disagree with you this time
The coolant light is supposed to look like a radiator... Come on, Doug, you should've been able to figure that out! 😂
This car really teach us to take care of our car
Parking Break Flag 😂😂
12:35 That's a ski hatch, chief. I've never heard anyone call it a "trunk pass-through", especially someone who knows what its intended purpose is 😂
If you want to fix the rx8 just buy billet engine parts
If Doug fits in the backseats then everyone can
I drive a 2005 A6 and the cupholders are exactly behind the gear shifter and i'm thinking to myself - if my car wasn't automatic, that would be nightmare especially for somebody like be who likes carrying bottles of shakes and juice with him. It's a very bad position for cupholders. But many cars have it that way, it's not only Mazda and Audi :D
His random shirt makes me laugh
10:08 you look like a giant in a hot wheel.
This car is definitely good looking
Why all the hate against the rotary engine? How is a wearing rotary seal a reliability issue? That is the same as saying a piston car is unreliable because the timing belt wears out after a few years. Parts wear (on any car), that doesn't make a car unreliable, failing parts do... Yes, a rotary engine will need more rebuilds than a conventional engine, but they are easy enough engines to lift out of the car and work on. And the RX8's are cheap enough that you can factor in some engine overhaul costs. A problem finding someone to work on it? There are loads of specialist all over the world that can do a good overhaul with modifications to make them better. Once they have been rebuild you can do many years with pretty much normal maintenance. The rotary engine defines this car, it is what makes it possible to have a mid engined 4 seater car with a decent sized boot and a low center of gravity for great handling. Was it the best daily-driver back when it was new? No, most definitely not. But now that they have gotten as cheap as they are they have become great as a second (weekend) sports car.
Man this is one of my favorite looking cars from my childhood, reliable as paper in a rainstorm but still beautiful looking
Are the circles there because it is a rotary?
At least wash the car. I used to own an rx8 in California car gets extremely hot but every second driving this car was super unique 😂👌🏻
Such an awful car reliability is horrible with anything over 50k and a nightmare to work on
My cousin HAD a RX 8 but his engine blew up like 2 months ago
He was just driving and it blew up
Damn that’s tragic, does he know what happened?
Doug: I HATE how this car looks. Mazda: Don’t review it then!
disabled person the interviewer...
Mazda should’ve made the trunk lid like a hatchback and make the rear seats fold down so there would be a huge opening thus making the car more practical.
The wheels are also a circle. Doug’s head is a circle
I always wondered why an automatic doesn’t have the power of a manual. Is it because the auto transmission can’t handle the power and torque? The Lamborghini has an auto and it has 600 hp.
I own a R3 and it is alot more fun than the numbers suggest !! And women love the way it looks 😁🤘, if mazda would have turboed it from factory it would have been a master piece .
Do an nc miata next
I just saw one on fb for a great deal. Figured I'd see what Doug had to say. Now I'm kinda bummed. Was wanting to get one
Renault key
i actually like the key
Disgraceful
One of my dream cars 🥺❤️
What useless information. Horrible negative review on a car that’s damn reliable if you take care of routine scheduled maintenance. Definitely don’t have to worry about me subscribing to this channel.
If i had a dollar for every time Doug says circle.
This is the most annoying video I’ve ever watched he talked about the suicide doors for 5 minutes and it’s not like he brought anything else up about it just the same thing over and over again, it’s not like suicide doors are uncommon
the back reminds me of a 90s pickup
nobody is talking about how doug said he was taking the 37 cents
These “weird doors” are used in trucks so they aren’t weird 😂
Car looks great!
Not a really good review tbh, miss a lot of in depth information.
I'm still gonna get it cause JDM
They need to revise it for 2022
This is probably the most controversial video Doug has ever made xD
Yes, Doug, circles... totally not gonna have a triangle as a steering wheel and the climate control vents rectangular
Take a shot everytime he says "circle"
Doug, when you're driving, shut up and send it
I'm IN LOVE with the look of this car
more like 1k canadian LOL
I got tired of hearing circles
the reason why it says at 13:27 special or unique it’s because some country like i do have super or special for example UAE they only have special or super and also some others country’s have unique fuel so they have to put it their to remind them
i am 17 and i love that car and if you drive carefully you dont have to fear nothing in it....its just a car
Fuck u Doug my car is sexy af I love my rx8 and silence the rear window is one of the things that have stayed the same shape in the rx7s and the mx5
wow...the engine bay.............
Sun roof included?
A 6 second 0-60 should be surely at least an 8/10!... Particularly when most normal cars (outside the overside engines ye get in the U.S.) are a lot slower! For example i drive an 08 Mazda 6, with a 118hp 1.8l, which had around a 10.5 second 0-60 ( and even though the third gen 6's have 145-165hp in petrol models, they're a bit heavier, getting about 9.5 and 8.5 0-60s. However even such cars are a lot quicker than many people's 1.0 ~60hp hatchbacks with 12+ second 0-60! I wish i lived in a world were the RX-8 is slow! 😮😃 Indeed sure i know, some Porsches etc have around 3 second 0-60s, but they're just nuts 😃 .
The car was cool enough to be in the X Men sequel
you should really think before getting in the back
