First Drives2011 Mazda RX-8: More Zoom Zoom than any other Mazda
Before getting to the car, a quick side note about language. In Mazdaspeak, "Zoom Zoom" refers to inspired sport driving. This term is used by Mazda worldwide, except in Quebec, where they say "Vroom Vroom." Interesting? Perhaps. But you’re probably more interested in knowing just how the Zoom and Vroom …
First DrivesMazda RX-8 2011- La plus Zoom Zoom des Mazda
Avant de passer à la voiture, juste un mot pour souligner que le titre n’est pas erroné.

Test DrivesMazda RX8 R3: Precision is Rotary Powered
Without exception, the most thrilling human creations are always the smallest, and the rotary engine that sits under the hood of Mazda’s latest RX8 R3 ranks right up there next to cocaine. Displacing just 1.3 litres, it concedes some displacement to large sportbikes but offers up much of the same …
First DrivesThe Mazda RX-8 2009, pleasure…and more pleasure!
As you probably already know, the RX-8 is not Mazda’s most popular vehicle. In fact, it’s now their least popular model, with only 659 units sold last year. While we obviously can’t expect to move as many RX-8s as the ever-popular Mazda3 or Tribute, in my humble opinion, sales of …
