Since when did you drive the Saturn 5 rocket?
As an retired Mazda salesman I went on many test drives on the back seat at 5 foot 10 it was not all that bad
You guys have retirement? Or do you mean 401K? Since dealerships are owned by more than 1 person, each have different benefits.
@@jeffreysantos9070 i meant retirement The dealership I worked for was owned by 1 family only selling Mazda's and is still in business
@@richardpasquale5930 Nice!! You are lucky to have a retirement with your dealership. Most dealerships, or any business, don't have a retirement.
@@jeffreysantos9070 I am thank you have a great day
People used to ask my why they put in back seats in my sports car? I would tell them that it saved me $1000. per year for insurance over a two seater.
It's cheaper in the uk to insure a 2 seater. I guess it's because you can't mutilate as many people in a crash lol
In Japan road tax was based upon engine size, size of the car (length, width) and number of seats. So a car with 2 tiny unusable back seats was taxed less than a two seater. A lot of countries still use engine size and seating to determine road tax.
I tried the same tactic with my car insurance company, by telling them it had 4 seats, but being a 2016 Mustang...they didn't buy my story! A Mustang is a Mustang, no matter how you look at it, they say.
@@garfieldsmith332 yes, my country charge a month salary worth if engine larger than 2000 cc. Fun fact 3000 cc engine road tax cost as much as one 2000 Camry in my country.
@@wallc3243 All countries should tax vehicles that way. A lot more people would drive smaller cars. The majority of owners of big cars and pickup trucks really do not need them.
I own a 2004 RX-8 and I LOVE the car! At 49,000 miles it runs great. As long as you follow certain rules with the engine use it will last but no where near the longevity of a piston engine. But the car handles better than any car I've ever driven, and I've driven quite a few!
Owned one from new for over 5 years. Never gave me any problems. It uses some oil but less than I thought. The engine is super smooth right up to redline. It handles great even in the snow!
They really did !!
My dad had one new. He got a new engine at 1000 miles lol. They gave him a lifetime warranty and ended up replacing the engine again at 50k. He sold it with 80k a couple years ago to a young guy who was very excited to have it.
@@Nix_Pardus They really were a blast to drive
@@richardpasquale5930 Oh yeah. Despite the reliability issues the handling was incredible and the rotary provided plenty of power. Very fun car
If I could get one for free with a blown engine but only if I'm gunna make it drive again... should I?
I'm kinda new to working on vehicles and don't have a bunch of money, it would be a huge side project but is it gunna be hard to find parts and information for it? Are they gunna be expensive?
My grandparents have one and it's never given them major issues. They've had it since like 2009-2011 something like that. I told them as a kid to get it and they did lol. I love that car
I bought one last month. Most fun I ever had with clothes on...
I had a mazda wagon that had a Wankel and, I blew the seals doing burnouts at 14k rpm.. man was that a fun car..
i want one but everyone thats selliong is 80k miles im sure they are on there ways out i need to learn how to change the apex seals my self cant be that hard. rx8 is my all time favorite car or maybe rx7 fd
What about with clothes off?

I had a 2007 WRX STI when I lived in Michigan, car was insanely fun in the snow! Just throw some snow tires on and you’re good to go 🙂
Drove my RX8 through many mountain winters
Good thing you didnt wrxs are def better overall all vehicles than these rx8s
@@WaitingforTheKingdom as a mazda fanboy i agree, cant compare subaru to mazda rx8 sounds sketchy on mountain winters hahaha
I've owned 2 Rx7's and have an Rx8 that I drove off the showroom floor in 2006. Gutted and track prepped. A blast to drive!!
Nice to see you driving the car on your test drive to give it an honest to goodness review Scotty! Keep it up great video!
During my last semester of college, I bought a 1986 RX-7. I really loved driving that car, especially because you could achieve higher speeds in lower gears without coming close to redlining. However, the engine eventually had issues, and I traded it in and bought an suv, which was more practical for where I lived after college. I had a college friend who had an RX-7 of the previous generation to mine, and his was a speed demon. He and his friends were street racers, so he had his highly modified. This thing was so damn fast, especially accelerating from a stop! I wish I had his car, but he had sold it during the summer before I bought mine.
I own a 2005 rx8 with over 180000kms, standard hot start issues but credit where credits due, it's the best driving, most fun, compelling dead stock car I've ever driven. Right up there with a 2018 subaru brz with the ts/ sti pack. All I've done is project mu brake pads and a custom ls1 coilpack conversion and it's the best car I've ever driven on a mountain road. The amount of rnd Mazda did when designing it is insane. 100% reccomend driving one properly on a mountain road if you get the chance
My first car was an RX3. Great little car back in the day
@Anthony PUKY D Holland Yeah but still a cool lil car 😎
@Anthony, it was worst than that, I had it in Puerto Rico where there were massive pot holes back in the day so I had to drive slow anyway 😂. Still. It was a cool car

Just some rotary engine-related trivia: fuel economy & emissions issues were the reasons why GM canned their almost-ready rotary engine in the early-'70s, which AMC had planned to use in the Pacer.
I think Scotty saw he has a ton of viewers from Saudi Arabia and decided to give us a shout out ✌😂
I think so 😅
Indeed 🤣
👍🇸🇦
Rotaries are popular in SA?
Why?
I have an RX8 R3.... and it is by far the best car I have ever owned!! If you get the chance try one.
I’m telling you Scotty America needs you now more than ever!!!
they look so cool with the sunroof and rear windows cracked, i want one just for those little design quirks like the triangles on literally everything
As always very informative scotty. Love from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦😏
"Just make sure you have tiny friends!" 😆 Scotty's the best.
Mazda also had a LeMans racing car call the 787b which had a 4 rotor engine with the displacement of 2.6 liters
I had 2 RX2s 2dor auto and 4dor standard, fast cars would out run much larger cars. The auto got about 18 mpg and the standard got about 21 mpg. The rotarys fire like
a 6 cylinder, 3 times for each rotation of the rotors. A lot of people scraped the engines because they did not keep the oil topped up, the engines were designed to consume
oil, and the oil system was also part of the cooling system. LOVED THE CARS. (My 4 door was the first Mazda registered in MO, quite an adventure!)
missouri mazda gang !!
I love the sound of that engine reaving up
Yeah that looks like it revs to 100,000 rpm and yes every number is multiplied by 10,000
Love the extra info about the motorcycle's especially the Norton
Outstanding video and presentation
I had an RX2 and an RX3, and both got about 27 mpg traveling above 60. If I went below 50, I could only get 22. I discovered that the faster you went, the better your mileage. There was a theoretical limit, but there was no power curve. It was a straight line up.
Thank you for your service! Nice car too
I want turbine engines to come back.
Would they pass pollution requirements?
@@maciejp7829 absolutely not 🤣
That's a dream of mine.. to build a turbine engine car. I believe a streetable, weekend cruiser if not daily, is highly achievable.
M1 Abrams
@@dannythompson1948 Jay Leno has two of them. Chrysler turbine from the 60s I believe and one of his own design with a helicopter turbine engine. Look it up here on YT. They are really cool.
Just love that inset with the surprised/scared cat! Makes me laugh every time!
My first car was an RX7. Loved that thing. 👍🏻
Interesting factoid: The automotive rotary engine was invented by the Adams-Farwell Co. of my hometown, Dubuque Iowa, around 1900. There is only one Adams-Farwell Car known to be in existence at Harrah's Car Museum. Oh, and I worked at the Adams Co. in the late 70's.
.....perhaps they perfected it rather than invented .
@@charlesdickens6706 Perhaps.
@CT is infant grade content now Wankel took the ROTARY engine, made some changes, and patented it in 1929. Do the research, you twat.
The Adams Farwell has a real Rotary type engine.. Mazda only made Wankel engines under the _"Mazda Rotary"_ brand name.... two completely different types of engine.
*The Rotary type engine was invented by Felix Millet in in 1892.*
To the Veteran - Thank you for Your Service 🇺🇲 Way to Go Scotty 👍
Good afternoon Scotty hope you and yours are doing well and your vacation is progressing wonderfully, you drive that car and speed you better know a good bail bondsman!
There's another rotary engine with 3 spark plugs and a better design being made now. Watched a video of a transparent one running which displayed the better design. It's a new video. I'll find it for you if you need me to. Pretty cool to see and can't wait to see what will be done with them in the near future. The 3 plugs were for a single rotor that had 3 combustion chambers. Real fascinating design.
Got to love the Doritos 🔺power especially when it extra spicy 🤣
Hope your having a great day Scott love your content
Seconded
Meant Scotty
That rotary sound is beautiful
Have a 1991 RX7 convertible. 160K mi on original engine, changed oil every 3K, still runs fine.
Do you pre mix or any other maintenance besides oil change
Hey, Scotty! I appreciate all your car information and repair videos a lot, but I was wondering if maybe you could do more motorcycle videos for us riders? It’d be much appreciated sir!
fell into one of these, and absolutely love it!
Sucker born every minute..
I remember taking a test drive of an RX-7 turbo back when I was a teenager, or maybe early 20's. That thing seemed so fast
A buddy of mine had an RX7--fun car, used oil...burned gas like an oil well fire but it was fun. Made it to around 80,000 miles and the seals went. Seems cold intake charge and burning hot exhaust blasting several inches away causes warping of the cases, blown seals etc. A very fun engine to spin up but long term reliability is dicey, mileage is horrible and you need to keep an eye on your oil level. All that oil burning does not give much love for the cat convertor either. I can see them being used as a small, light weight power generator hybrid thing as emergency power backup, they are very light but overall they went away because they needed to go. Two strokes went away also...the world moves on. It was fun while it lasted!
Sounds like the motorcycle sanctioning board is similar to NASCAR: “If you can’t outrun them, outlaw them.”
Nice Tundra in the background!!! Love my Lunar Rock Tundra TRD Pro!
Used to take apart the turbine engines in the m1 tanks at an army depot I used to work at. They sure are complex lol
I have great reverence for the rotary engine! My dad bought an Rx-4 wagon barely used in 1980. I think he bought it because it was inexpensive at the time, and would perform well. and hold up well.
Another great video my Scotty Kilmer love the auditory love the delivery America really does need Scotty Kilmer 😻😻😹
Love my 04. 11C and enjoy it on the weekend.
Used to own an 04 rx8. Was a blast running it at 3:30 in the morning around the streets spitting flames. Ps if you want a unique fun car that gets attention and don’t mind maintenance or spending v8 money without a v8, get these👌
No they're actually cheap nowadays
The problem would be to find someone to work on it
Damn the rx8 is getting so much love now
Year ago took my 2007 rx-8. My 5th rotory girl and will be happy to beautifulize her and build. Never sold previous cars cheaper than bought. Love it.
Keep it coming, Scotty!
All cars have differences. I own an RX-8, but the oil has never been an issue. Mileage is unpleasant, but does not seem to change much no matter how it is driven. Driving it hard is really the best value. I sat in a new Supra, but it is much smaller has turbo lag and an automatic. The Rx-8 has one unique ability - turn in. The motor responds more quickly than a piston motor due to the proximity of the throttle to the intake port and low rotational mass. Steering with the throttle is more fun than any car that I have ever driven. My tiny mother in law sits in the back and likes it better than the BMW 440 coupe due to the back door ( we tried it at the dealer). So I hold on to the RX-8 out due to my fear that I will miss handling and utility. Any suggestions?
This car isn’t being talked about like it’s totally forgotten
Unlike the FD RX7 but I like this one a lot
Cats keep using our garden as a giant bathroom, I watched Scotty’s video and fixed it with spray cleaner 👍👍👍

congrats on 4.20mil subs scotty
Love your videos Scotty
Big fan from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
You know you like mazda when you can tell its an rx8 just by seeing the custom recaro seats that came in them.
Afternoon Scotty! 🏁
Hi Scotty love the vidz
that rx8 in video looks so clean, car still looks like new condition, whoever bought it for 10k got a incredible deal
had to go back a couple of times when Scotty said "suicide doors" just to enjoy it hahaha, good man Scotty, demonetised but you made sure to say it anyways hahaha, so good!
I brought a cosmo engine from Germany after my army tour -- I sold it 3 times the amt i paid for
Love my Rx-8. It is fun as hell!!!
I got one, the S2....from new. It's a fantastic car. These cars had problems with mods, done by "enthusiasts" and often wrecked by them as a result. The S2 has something like 140+ upgrades to pretty much everything on the car.
I thought it was gonna be an '07 Camry 😅 Cheers from Toronto, Canada!
Yeah probably the only oilburning camry
Our local car club has a member who has a Mazda that you showed in the box. His son bought it in Japan and shipped as a racing car. Put two turbos on that engine and try to stay with it.
What upppp scotty it's been a min since I've watched one of ur vids but if I dont love them. I've learned so much from you and ur videos and I'm glad to have this awesome info for free. Lol but what's the name if the app you came out with I can't remember it for anything? Have a great day
In Japan they made a Holden Kingswood with a rotary motor Holden was a General Motors product look it up
I daily drove mine for 15 years without problems. It actually gets in the low 20s on the highway. City mileage is the mid teens.
I used to own an RX-8, and on my long commute, I'd get 19 mpg. Not cheap! Damnit, though, I miss that car. Find me a car today that has a double wishbone front suspension, four seats, a manual transmission, and rear wheel drive.
BRZ?

@@xMorbidArtx Nothing is more fugly than the worst sedan Mazda ever made..

Scotty was right Mazdas newest hybrid uses a single rotor dorito in the cx50(70?). Do hope my rx8 increases in value, id never sell but all of them are used and increase in miles. Makes me wanna buy a 2nd low mileage one and keep it stock and mint!!
Aww! Scotty, you’re making me miss my 1988 Mazda RX-7! I drove it for six years!

You have me cracking up Scotty but you tell it like it is thumbs up
I agree a Wankel engine would be great to power a generator and the RX8 is a beautiful car love the curves.
The Suzuki rotary bike was called the RE5. It was sales disaster for Suzuki. It was a ok bike but, It just looked weird. The engine looked like pump. Not a regular engine with cylinders and fins like everyone was used to at the time.
I absolutely loved my '93 Rx 7!
Arctic Cat used some rotaries in the 70’s
Is that why they marketed a lot of stuff with the "Rotax" badges, or no? Worked on a bunch of piston Yami, Honda, etc. A.T.V. and motorcycle stuff but never any of them.
Malibu Gran Prix cars also used wankels at one time

Rarely see those late RX8s , mostly see the early ones
These cars are badass!
Omg, I love you Scottie! Thank you for the great review! I was looking at a 2004 RX 8 with a new engine replacement at 125,000. km. Now I see why. Probably not a good winter driver either, even if it was 5 km to work..... I do love driving, I don't like a cushy ride, must have manual trans. I need a summer and winter car but my bank account said NO. The guy is asking 6500. Canadian (He just recently lowered the price by a thousand bucks).
I wintered mine once w snow tires on the back never got stuck
I love love love rotary engines! I’ve owned 6 rx7s currently drive 2, 88 turbo and a 93 fd. I’m just curious with everything going electric and the supposed “COMEBACK” of the rx7 what will Mazda do!?
I loved my 1988 RX7. It was a totally different acceleration, wooshy.
Honestly i'm Honda guy and i bought one of this Rx8 and is not the fastest car, but it will put a big smile on your face everytime you drive it😁
