2011 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring is the final evolution of Mazdas legendary rotary-powered sports car, combining distinctive design, razor-sharp handling, and an enthusiast-focused driving experience. Under the hood lies Mazdas unique 1.3-liter RENESIS rotary engine, producing 232 horsepower when paired with the 6-speed manual transmission (or 212 hp with the automatic). While modest in displacement, the rotary engine revs eagerly to a thrilling 9,000 rpm, delivering smooth, linear power and a truly unique exhaust note.
The RX-8 Grand Touring stands out with its sleek, coupe-like styling and innovative freestyle rear doors, which provide surprising practicality for a four-passenger sports car. Inside, the cabin is driver-centric, featuring leather-trimmed sport seats, aluminum accents, and a Bose premium audio system for a refined yet engaging environment. The Grand Touring trim also adds heated front seats, automatic climate control, xenon headlights, and keyless entry/start, enhancing both comfort and convenience.
On the road, the RX-8s near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and lightweight chassis make it a joy to drive through corners. The sport-tuned suspension and precise steering offer exceptional feedback, while the cars balanced dynamics make it a favorite among driving purists.
Although the rotary engine requires attentive maintenance and regular oil checks, it rewards those who appreciate its engineering and character. The 2011 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring remains a distinctive and collectible sports car, celebrated for its agility, innovation, and the spirit of Zoom-Zoom that defines Mazdas performance legacy.

Still love this car.
by rx8owner on Saturday, April 29, 2017
This car gets a bad reputation, because of its rotary engine. People dont read the manual and take care of it for what it is. It needs premium gas, it needs good oil, and it burns that oil do you need to check it and top it off OFTEN. Thats just part of the deal when you buy one. I bought mine used with just under 60k on it. (Original Engine, never replaced). That was low milage at the time, heck its 13 years old now so its still under the average. I have put 50k on it in about 4 years. It has never mechanically stranded me. The only maintenance Ive had to do in the last 50k miles are a battery, a set of brakes, a set of plugs and wires, and a set of tires. I put a clutch in it at 90k and it really didnt need it. I have flooded it twice (moved it in the driveway and didnt let it warm up enough), but I was able to get it started w/o having to pull plugs. The car is bone stock, no add on, no enhancements. It runs as good as the day I bought it. While it has the grand touring package, this isnt really a great highway touring car. Its a bit noisy, and while its comfortable for a while, its not something you probably want to spend hours in. It performs well, goes where you point it. Not a very good winter car, and Ive driven it in all kinds of winter conditions that it probably shouldnt have been driven in. Id buy a new RX9 in a minute. - 5.0

Fun car
by hubin1 on Tuesday, March 16, 2010
It is a fun car to drive. Space for two adults and 2 kids comfortably. I drove 350z, s2000, and other Sports car but I have to say that RX8 is not the FASTEST but most comfortable.
