Notes

The Mazda RX-8 R3 is the 2009 successor of the RX-7: a much-improved version that stands out with unique features and across-the-board efficiency improvements. The revised elements include a slightly improved suspension system, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a high-performance tire setup. This two-door Sport Coupe runs with a 1.3L Renesis Wankel engine mated with a 6-speed manual w/OD transmission, taking the car to a 145 Mph maximum speed and accelerating from 0-60 Mph in 6 seconds flat. Considering its 14,990 dollars current market value, the Mazda RX-8 R3 sounds like a good deal for speed lovers on a tight budget.

The Mazda RX-8 R3 is a fantastic low-cost option, with the looks of a head-turner race-tuned sportscar and an unbeatable smooth driving experience that will make you feel like you're driving the mini version of a supercar. The remarkable exteriors of the R3 feature a lower front bumper with a splitter, a standard rear spoiler for aerodynamics improvement, and lower-side sills, to name a few. Mazda incorporates chassis stiffeners underneath the surface to reduce driveline vibrations and noises that substantially sharpen the car's steering response while on the road. On the interior, we get a new Bose sound system, an advance keyless entry and start system, and a pair of special Recaro seats for a more comfy ride.
