Mazda RX-8
Mazda isn’t afraid to stand out, and the RX-8 is proof of that. Not only is it the only model with a rotary engine on our market, but it’s also the only four-door sport coupe! Besides its originality, this Japanese car is pleasant to drive as long as you know how to appreciate a ride that favours a high engine speed. Simultaneously practical and playful, it meets the expectations and needs of those wanting to balance utility and fun.
