The Mazda RX-8 has been through slight aesthetic modifications for 2009. With its four very convenient doors, this sports coupe blends performance and technology with its rotary engine, unique in the industry. Producing 232 horsepower, the engine gives the RX-8 enough power to make things interesting, while its sports suspension is very effective during more technical driving stretches. This is a vehicle that will please sports car fans without foregoing the practical aspects.
