2010 Mazda Rx-8 Grand Touring Coupe 4-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Greenville, South Carolina, United States
|
Series II 2010 Grand Touring Mazda RX8. RX8s got some major updates starting with the MY2009 including enhanced cooling and lubrication to the engine rotors and a more substantial transmission over the 04-08 models.
This is the GT model with every available option offered (except navigation), including moonroof (power), heated side mirrors, power adjustable seats, one touch power drivers seat button for rear entry, rain sensing wipers, home link, Bose audio, keyless remote entry (just have the key fob in your pocket and press the door button). Engine, ignition system, transmission, and suspension are all in perfect shape. Car runs smooth, idles right at 900rpm, throttle response is perfect and transmission is silky smooth with that super grabby clutch RX8s are known for. Never been in the shop. This is my 2nd rotary, I am an enthusiast of rotaries and have meticulously maintained this car. Plugs were changed by dealer at 25k miles including new K&N air filter. Oil changes were completed way before recommended between 3-4k miles and I kept all my oil change records. I am the second owner of this car, I purchased it in 2011 with 6,000 miles on it from a local dealer. It is a Mazda Certified Used Car / was when purchased in 2011. Documentation included. I also own a newer Miata that I drive on the weekends, this RX8 has been my daily driver to and fro work.. I work about 15 miles off of I-85 and she has seen mostly all highway miles, with a redline getting on the exit ramp each day. I am a rotary enthusiast and this is my second rotary car (2004 RX8 I sold for the miata, then later could afford both and a lot of the quirks were fixed with the 2009+ model years so I bought this one). The only defects on the car are a small ding from a pebble on the interstate hitting the passenger side rear fender, and the rims have some scratches on them. Two rims have small dings also. (See Photos) The car comes with two key fobs, although one has lost sync with the car (functions/power light comes on but does not communicate with car), the other FOB works great. The dealer can resync the FOB to the car (for a charge). I have never needed the 2nd one. All original books and manuals are included in the glove box. There is a professionally installed 10" bass tube (purchased by me) in the trunk that can go with the car to the buyer, or I can have the sound shop remove it if you desire. It sounds really great, but does take up trunk space. There is no modification to the stock sound system, just the woofer sharing the factory BOSE amp. The price is a starting point, willing to negotiate, but not in desperate need to sell the car. I'm looking to sell both the RX8 and miata to eventually buy a larger 4 door sports sedan and get back to just one car. Please respond with any questions. Car is located in Greenville, SC. |

Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid and CNG Concept shown in Japan
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Mazda has received a tremendous amount of public and industry praise in the last few years, following up the successful introduction of its Skyactiv technology (powertrain and otherwise), with strong products like CX-5, Mazda6 and most recently, the Mazda3. At the Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda has taken yet another step forward with Skyactiv and the 3, showing the compact (called "Axela" in Japan) with an all-new compressed natural gas engine in the Skyactiv-CNG Concept.
The end result of the Skyactiv-Hybrid is fuel consumption estimated at something like 74 miles per gallon.
Mazda thinks that CNG-powered vehicles are due for an uptick in demand, and the company believes this new powertrain will add valuable breadth to the Mazda3 range. The CNG Concept is actually a duel-fuel vehicle, capable of running on either natural gas or gasoline. In fact, we're told that the high compression ratio (14:1) inherent in Skyactiv-technology gasoline engines makes conversion to CNG particularly simple.
Mazda CEO says rotary not viable, so don't look for a new one
Tue, 19 Nov 2013We have some very sad news to report, rotor-heads fans: Don't expect a new rotary-powered vehicle anytime soon. This comes straight from Masamichi Kogai, the CEO of Mazda, which is the only company to ever market a commercially successful rotary-powered automobile in the world. The issue, as it has pretty much always been, is environmental.
While the Wankel rotary engine does indeed make a lot of power in a small, lightweight package, it does so while burning lots of fuel and emitting lots of noxious gases into the atmosphere, at least when running on gasoline. And that means the rotary engine will likely only ever be able to power niche vehicles. And that, in turn, means that it is very difficult to turn a profit on vehicles with rotary engines, particularly for a small automaker like Mazda.
"It has to be a viable commercial proposition. If we are going to adopt it, it has to be a product that can generate at least sales of 100,000 units a year. We have to be able to achieve a profit," said Kogai in an interview with Automotive News. Mazda sold 56,203 RX-7 models in the United States (the automaker's biggest market) in 1986. Sales of the RX-8 peaked in 2004, its first full year on the market, with just 23,690 units.
2014 Mazda6 earns Popular Mechanics' 'Car of the Year'
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Ring one up for Mazda. The Japanese brand's midsize offering, the Mazda6, has been named Popular Mechanics' Car of the Year. The 6 received a comprehensive reworking for the 2014 model year that saw it adopt sleek, sexy sheet metal; a clean, logical interior; and powertrain technologies that allow it to net some of the best fuel economy available in a gas-powered, non-hybrid sedan.
Popular Mechanics praised the 6's Skyactiv 2.5-liter, 184-horsepower engine, as well as its agility and responsiveness during testing. It also remarked on the functional, but well designed cabin, and the degree of available technology.
"The Mazda6 really impressed us with how well it delivers so many things modern car owners want: great mileage, fun road-handling, upscale features and looks - and remarkable value," said Jim Meigs, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics.
