Mazda RX-8 (SE3P) 2002–2008 Review

Expect a lifespan of around 100,000 km for the rotary engine, but many examples will already have had multiple engine replacements by now. Engines may last longer if maintenance is increased above factory recommendations, and using special running and driving techniques. Fuel economy is poor.
