Besides the engine, between these two versions there are differences in the transmission (the less powerful gearbox is a five-speeds) and equipment. The 192 hp version costs € 33,000, ie 5370 € less than the 231 hp. If benefits are not a premise, and it does not matter to dispense with certain elements of equipment, less powerful version the best recommendation for what it offers in relation to the cost and because it is more comfortable.

Currently, the Mazda RX-8 coupe is the least expensive among those with 170 and 210 hp (if it can be considered by its coupe body). The closest is the price for Alfa Romeo Brera 2.2 JTS, which costs € 33,900.

As a product and not as part of their relationship between price and equipment, the best of the Mazda RX-8 is its slow speed on roads, so that it can be fun to drive and, even then, how easy it is to do it. There are few cars that respond so well at the wheel. To find a coupe better in this regard should be to get a Porsche Cayman.

In addition, the Mazda RX-8 has a stability control that allows driving too fast without slowing the car, especially if the driver is fine and soft in the drawn in the acceleration.

The worst thing has to do with the poor performance of their engines. With either of the two, the Mazda RX-8 is slower than other sports such power and consume more.

In travel is not the most comfortable because of the noise. Besides the engine, and depending on the speed and the road, there are also air noise and wheels.

The rear seats have more space and are more accessible than any other coupe of its size, thanks to the two rear doors that open in opposite direction to the front. It will be passengers in the rear seat is better than models like the Audi TT or Alfa Romeo Brera, but not those that arise from a saloon, such as the Audi A5 or the BMW 3 Series coupe. The boot measures 290 liters of volume, is usually enough for two people and insufficient for four.

The Mazda RX-8 has two minor glitches functional in the day to day: one, it is very easy to brush with the low passes over the tip top of a garage ramp; especially if the Mazda RX-8 is loaded (no need for the ramp is very steep).

Another, in a rotary engine is usually necessary to check the oil level more often than in other cars and doing so is cumbersome because it does not have an indicator in the instrumentation and the rod is not very accessible (it is wise to introduce it almost impossible without help a flashlight, if you are inside a garage).

The Mazda RX-8 of 231 hp has spent about 400 cc of oil every 1,000 km, in very harsh conditions. That's more than some sports cars and engines less than others. The 192 hp has consumed less than 200 cm ³ 1,000 km, a normal amount in any sport.

Another practical drawback of this engine is that it has a very high potency tax (32.99 horses prosecutors both versions), and that makes municipal tax. The fiscal power in a rotary engine does not depend on the engine capacity is calculated by dividing the power (in kW) from 5.21.
The version of 231 hp leads series of browser with features such as DVD player, leather upholstery, xenon headlights or seats with electric adjustment. These elements are not available in the 192 hp or as an option.

Series, the two have stability control, front airbags, front side, head for the two rows of seats, front seat belts with emergency tensor and voltage limiter, air conditioning, a stereo with nine speakers and shipper of 6 CD (which sounds good) and lights in the rear to facilitate the entry into the Mazda RX-8 in dark places. The four-door that has the Mazda RX-8 makes it a coupe (if you can call like that) more practical and functional than any other.
