Neela's Mazda RX8 in Tokyo Drift was one of the most underrated cars in the franchise. It's worthy of a second look.

I would love to see the last race with DK’s villain laughs and seeing a cute anime girl on the side of his 350z. 😆

The RX8 is a criminally underrated car
Sure it wasn’t as good as the RX7 but nothing else has a rotary like the RX8

Some of my favorite cars are from Tokyo Drift. This car, hans RX7, Vin's cameo car at the end, the Monte Carlo in the beginning. I love TD.

90% of Tokyo Drift was filmed in The US. The Audience: *Are we a joke to you*

I had an '08 RX8. Red, manual. It wasn't the fastest thing out there but man it was a great car. The boot was surprisingly capable - even with a spare tyre bolted up under the parcel shelf I could comfortably fit a large suitcase in there, or even my golf clubs and an overnight bag. And yeah it wasn't lightning fast but there was something about the feel of the car through the steering wheel sitting low down in those seats that still gave you the sense of speed. Man it was an enjoyable vehicle to drive. Unique enough on our roads that it somehow still turned heads. Aside the constant fear of "is the rotary going to let go *this* drive?" it always put a smile on my face... sadly had to trade it in on an SUV when the kids came... despite technically having four doors and ISOFIX in the back seats it somehow still wasn't "a family car" :D

I think the design is tasteful personally

Just recently watched Tokyo Drift with the original english synchro. The movie is better than I had in mind and it was a great hommage to car enthusiasts all around the world.

1 thing ill always love about RX8's: they're dirt cheap and have never shot up in value like most JDM cars have and they're still fantastic looking cars

As a Rx-8 owner i was waiting for you to cover this for awhile....granted my own engine needs a rebuild, but still. Thanks for doing this, Craig.

Most will hate the RX-8 simply for it's lack of straight line get up and go, but think of it as what it exactly is, an NC miata with a beefier chassis and a far better engine instead of the pathetic NA ford duratrash they put in the actual NC, then you'll realize it's a fantastic and surprisingly practical and very well balanced sports car. For the money spent you WILL NOT find anything that comes close to an RX-8 in terms of performance as they can be purchased very cheap thanks to the poor reputation that the series 1 (2003-2008 models) brought on and carried over to the genuinely reliable series 2 (2009-2012 models) and the closest you'll find to it in terms of stock vs stock performance is in the AP1 and AP2 Honda S2000 making almost the exact same HP and torque as a 6 port RX-8, but the F20 engine's potential far exceeds that of a renesis both NA and with FI making it the more popular option and much more expensive as a result. In the end if you want a great handling sports car that's loads of fun for literally pennies on the dollar a series 2 RX-8 is a great fit (although you do need to do a bit of research on owning a rotary before hand, otherwise you may run into issues fairly quick)

As an RX-8 owner, I'd say these cars are underrated and faster then people think. No I'm not saying these cars are fast, just faster then people would expect, and if taken care of properly, decently reliable

I didn’t know I wanted a video on this car until just now.

The pro handling on the rx8 is the reason why I’m able to take corner so easy

That RX8 is the most beautiful car ever! My top 3 favorites including Brians Skyline. So simple, yet so gorgeous

hearing you explain what the movies could have been is funny. So you really wanted to push that Itasha out there back in the day, that's bold.

I love the RX-8 since I saw Mia's in NFS: Most Wanted in 2005 :)
