An adrenaline-producing rear-wheel drive sport coupe with nimble handling, remarkable balance, a comfortable ride, a smooth rotary engine, lots of features, and a 2+2 layout that seats 4 full-size adults is a rarity in the car market. But that is exactly what the 2011 Mazda RX-8, available in Duluth, GA at Rick Case Mazda, part of Rick Case Atlanta, is and is exactly what it offers drivers. Available in Sport, Grand Touring, and R3 trim levels, the 2011 RX-8 gets its power from a 1.3-liter RENESIS 2-rotor rotary engine that puts out either 212 horsepower when paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission or 232 horsepower when mated to the 6-speed manual transmission, at a stunning 9,000 rpm. (The R3 trim is only available with the 6MT.) Torque for every engine comes out to be 152 pound-feet. The RX-8 achieves fuel economy of 16 city/23 highway MPG when paired to the 6MT, yet still can go from 0 to 60 in just 7 seconds.
On the base Sport trim, you can enjoy your music as played through the 6-speaker sound system with CD player and auxiliary audio jack. Feel the sportiness inherent in the 18-inch wheels, performance tires, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter. Get a 6MT model and additionally get a limited-slip differential and rear lip spoiler. Other Sport standard features include A/C, cruise control, and full power accessories. On the Grand Touring trim, feel like you're in a concert hall when you listen to your music through the 9-speaker Bose surround-sound system with satellite radio and 6-disc CD changer. Make and take calls hands-free with Bluetooth. Let the sun shine in through the sunroof. Luxuriate on long trips buoyed in the comfort of heated front seats, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and an 8-way power driver seat with memory. Other Grand Touring standard features include a limited-slip differential, spoiler, automatic xenon headlights, fog lights, heated side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and keyless ignition/entry. The only available RX-8 option is for the Grand Touring: a touchscreen navigation system with voice recognition. Finally, on the R3 trim level, drivers get most of the Grand Touring features in addition to deluxe sport features, including 19-inch BBS forged alloy wheels, rear wing spoiler, Recaro front sport leather-and-cloth seats, Bilstein shock absorbers, and a more aggressively tuned suspension.
Among the many and varied RX-8 safety and security features are front airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact air curtains, 3-point seat belts with pretensioners, 4-wheel disc brakes, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS) are options on the Sport, but are standard on Grand Touring and R3.
