The initial HP ratings for the RX-8 were overestimated. Mazda offered 2004 owners free maintenance or to buy back the car as a result.

The HP was never the problem for me, it was the lack of torque. Still, the RX-8 is quite light at less than 3000lbs curb weight. Very tossable!

Love the Z way more, though!
