The RX line of performance cars is legendary for its unique rotary engine that uses two rotating triangle shaped rotors inside a cylindrical casing to generate power. With far fewer moving parts than a conventional piston engine, the rotary is easier to maintain while its compact size helps create a perfect 50/50 front to rear weight distribution, a major contributor to the RX-8's impressive handling. The RX-8's handling is otherworldly, amazingly neutral in the corners and completely predictable in rapid maneuvers. The RX-8 also has a unique body with forward facing rear half doors that allow access to a surprisingly roomy rear seat comprised of two bucket style seats divided by a wide center console. This set up allows you to have the look and performance associated with a high-end sport coupe, but the functionality of a two-door sedan. There is even a decent size trunk for when overnight trips beckon. The RX-8's stylish interior, great seats and marvelously precise transmission make it a delight to drive.
The RX-8 comes in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trims. The Grand Touring RX-8 includes 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, front and rear ventilated disc brakes, power windows, locks and mirrors, AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer, air conditioning, front side-impact airbags, cruise control, rear seat pass-through, side curtain airbags, steering wheel touch controls for audio and cruise, 18-inch alloy wheels, tilt wheel, tire pressure monitor, limited-slip differential, electronic traction and stability control, HID head lamps, fog lights, 300-watt Bose audio, power sunroof, advanced Keyless entry, heated side mirrors, heat leather seats, eight-way power driver's seat, and color-keyed synthetic leather door inserts.

Mazda books first yearly profit in half-decade, NA still a drag
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Automotive News reports Mazda has posted its first annual profit in five years. The company made $364.3 million in the last fiscal year, following a $1.14 billion loss the year prior. Operating profit also jumped up by $91.3 million to $572.8 million, thanks in part to a revenue increase of 8 percent to $23.42 billion.
But the news isn't all rays of sunshine. North America continues to be a problem for Mazda where the automaker posted yet another loss. The manufacturer lost $519.1 million last year, up from $427.8 million the year prior. While the launch of the CX-5 helped see US sales increase by 2 percent to 273,000 vehicles, the region as a whole bought up 372,000 units. Mazda had predicted closer to 380,000 units.
Even so, Mazda says it should have North America back in the black by next year, with the company forecasting a sales increase of 11 percent to 415,000 units in the region. That's thanks in part to a boost from the redesigned Mazda6 sedan.
R&T chases down a burglar in the million-mile Miata
Mon, 04 Aug 2014Is the answer always Mazda Miata? We discussed this in passing on the Autoblog Podcast earlier this week, and most assuredly the answer is "no." For example, the little MX-5 would be a terrible people carrier, and it'd be useless off road. You can't really tow anything of substance with it, either. Still, if push came to shove, it's satisfying to know that the diminutive roadster could eke out a career as a chase vehicle for the police.
That fact was proven when Road & Track editor Chris Cantle did something that he himself recognizes as "stupid." Upon returning home, Cantle discovered a "twenty-something" actively burgling his home. The resulting story is easily one of the more entertaining episodes to come out of the 1990 MX-5's service to the team at R&T and, we're guessing, will be one of the highlights of the Million-Mile Miata challenge.
Be sure to head over to Road & Track for a full retelling of the chase from Cantle, as well as a follow-up on the saga.
Mazda3, CX-5 earn IIHS Top Safety Picks
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Mazda technologies like SkyActiv-Body and SkyActiv-Chassis, plus ultra-high-tensile steel, six airbags, "crusable" brake and accelerator pedal assembly and collapsible steering column have helped the 2013 Mazda3 and 2014 Mazda CX-5 win Top Safety Pick laurels from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). It's the second year in a row for the Mazda3.
The accolade is earned by receiving "Good" marks for frontal moderate overlap crashes, side and rear impact crashes, and tests of roof strength. Remember, the small overlap test that the IIHS commenced in August 2012 has lately tripped up some makers who have excellent safety reputations.
The Mazda3 and CX-5 join offerings like the Dodge Dart, Hyundai Elantra, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Subaru Forester among the 117 vehicles so far declared Top Safety Picks - which is different than the 13 named Top Safety Picks+, mind you - for this year. Have a read of the press release below for more information.
