SO I’VE HAD THE MAZDA RX-8 for nearly five years now, and people occasionally email to ask if I still like it. Yes. The story is pretty much what it was back when it was new. Still handles well, fun to drive, seats very comfy. Still looks like new, too. On the second set of tires. It still doesn’t burn much oil — despite the reputation of rotary engines — but the gas mileage is so-so, though of course it is a sports car. Still, it’s funny that it gets worse mileage than the Highlander Hybrid.
