The Mazda RX-8, produced from 2003 to 2012, is a unique and captivating sports car renowned for its distinctive rotary engine and rear-hinged rear doors. While the RX-8 was available in various trim levels and configurations, the 2009-2012 models represent the final years of production and incorporate several refinements and updates. These models sported a 1.3-liter twin-rotor Renesis engine, producing 232 horsepower and 159 lb-ft of torque. The rotary engine, a signature feature of Mazda, offered a smooth and linear power delivery, accompanied by a characteristic whirring sound. The RX-8 was known for its agile handling, precise steering, and responsive throttle, making it a joy to drive on winding roads.

The 2009-2012 RX-8 featured a sleek and aerodynamic design, with a low-slung profile, prominent front air intakes, and distinctively shaped taillights. The rear-hinged rear doors, known as "Freestyle" doors, provided easy access to the rear seats, adding a touch of practicality to the sporty persona. Inside, the cabin offered a driver-focused environment, with supportive sport seats, a well-equipped dashboard, and relatively comfortable accommodations for four passengers. Despite its sporty nature, the RX-8 was still marketed as a practical daily driver, and equipped with features such as cruise control, climate control, and a decent cargo space. However, the RX8's rotary engine was known for high fuel consumption and required meticulous maintenance for optimal performance and longevity. The 2009-2012 models incorporated several improvements to address these concerns, including a revised engine management system and enhanced fuel efficiency. The RX8, a testament to Mazda's engineering prowess and dedication to performance, continues to hold a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts, as a unique and unforgettable sports car experience.
