Up for auction here is a 1991 Mazda Miata convertible. Always adult driven.
The Good: -Engine runs fine, no issues here. Starts every time, idles normally, revs smoothly. Still averaging 30-34 MPG on country roads. No smoke or weird noises. -Transmission is working fine as well. Shifts are crisp and positive. Clutch was replaced at 104,000 miles and works great. -Brakes are in good shape. Recent new front calipers and rotors. New brake lines to the rear about a year ago. Stops straight. -The interior is in pretty good shape, not perfect but pretty nice for a 23-year old daily driver. -New alternator last year. -New battery in 2012 -New fuel pump in 2011. The Bad: -It's going to need a front end alignment. It veers a little to the right. -The air conditioning will need a charge. -The power steering is not functional. It's drive-able but takes some arm strength when going slow. The pump will need to be replaced if you don't like the workout. No fan belt noises though. -The front tires should probably be replaced soon. One of the back tires is less than a year old and the other might be around three years old. -The oil pressure gauge is not functional. The Ugly: -The headlights don't sit right in the down position so I just leave them up. Could be an easy fix, I don't know. I haven't really been bothered by it. -While the top is in generally good condition, the back window is not. It is going to need to be replaced. Look at the pictures. -Leather shifter boot is torn. -It's rusty. This has been a very dependable and fun car for over ten years. I have had very few problems with it and most of the issues are wear related. The motor has never been modified. The car has never been raced. No boyracer fast and furious nonsense. Regular oil changes with full synthetic. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I would encourage you to try and see the car before making a bid. There will be no refunds. This is a 23-year old car so know what you're bidding on. You must come and pick up the car. It is completely drive-able so no need for a trailer. But I can help you get it on a trailer if that is how you want to pick it up. I can hold the car as long as it is paid in full. Talk to me. I am quite free until October 1st. Then I get busy. Try to get the car before then. Thanks for looking! |

Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]
Sat, 08 Feb 2014Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.
Sweating the small stuff | 2017 Mazda CX-5 First Drive
Mon, Mar 13 2017The 2017 Mazda CX-5's door handles got their own design study. They got their own graphs, maths, and a team of people scientifically analyzing how humans interact with them. There was a whole to-do. And yet, you look at them back-to-back with their predecessors, a Spockian eyebrow reaching to the stars, and wonder what all the fuss was about. But apparently they're better. They're also perfectly illustrative of the entire effort to re-engineer and improve Mazda's best-selling model. At first, the 2017 Mazda CX-5 seems like a sensible evolution of its well-loved predecessor – there's sexier styling, a more premium cabin, and additional features, but the dimensions and engine specs look awfully similar. It certainly looks like one of those "the old car's great, let's not overthink the new one" redesigns. Except it isn't. Dig deeper and you'll see just how much meticulous work – from the door handles to the throttle response – went into making the new CX-5 a crossover that thoroughly trounces the majority of its competition. Take the efforts to make it quieter. According to Mazda's internal measurements, the sound-quelling improvements made for the CX-5's 2016 refresh already made it one of the quietest compact SUVs on the market. That apparently wasn't good enough. To what seems like an absurd degree, Mazda's engineers obsessively examined every nook, cranny, corner, and crevice to sniff out noise and eliminate it. Gaps were filled, insulation was injected, seals were added, air was redirected, glass was double glazed, and carpet replaced plastic coverings. It would seem that the Society of Persnickety Engineers is well represented at Mazda HQ. "I'm not sure how they found some of these," said Mazda vehicle development engineer Dave Coleman with a shake of his head, almost amused by the obsession and dedication of his colleagues across the proverbial hall in the sound-deadening department. (He goes over many of their enhancements in the video below.) And it worked. The new CX-5 is indeed incredibly quiet, even on San Diego's notoriously loud corrugated concrete freeways. It is quiet for a Mazda – a brand previously known for the exact opposite – and the entire segment. Even the fairly quiet 2017 Honda CR-V we drove on the same freeways on the way to San Diego couldn't match it. Actually, much of the driving experience can't be matched by a competitor.
Mazda doubles down with a pair of Threes
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Looking to appeal to the compact tuner crowd, Mazda brought two different flavors of its 2014 Mazda3 to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week. The Club Sport 3 Concept hatchback (above) has more of a racing vibe to it, while the Vector 3 Concept sedan (right) looks to inject a little extra fashion into the all-new Mazda3.
Hotting up the 3, Mazda stuck with the stock 2.5-liter engine on the Club Sport 3 Concept but added a limited-slip differential and six-speed manual gearbox, the latter of which was lifted from the CX-5 crossover. Other upgrades include coil-over shocks, a performance exhaust, Brembo brakes and an aero body kit - the latter of which will be offered to buyers at a later date.
While the Vector 3 Concept does get some performance bits like two-piece Brembo brake rotors and grippier tires, the focus on this sedan is all about styling. Starting with a custom paint job and ghost stripes, the whole look is tied together with 19-inch, V-spoke Rays wheels.
