This MazdaSpeed3 is in Excellent condition!  I've babied & pampered this car since day one.  Never red-lined- not even close.  No mechanical problems whatsoever.  No accidents, no wrecks, no dents.  Only a few very small scratches probably from people brushing up against it, and a couple very minor bends in 2 of the wheels, I believe.  I purchased it new in 8/2008.   I added the Mazda chrome fuel door, window tinting and the rear bumper-protector at time of purchase.  I've always had a towel on the drivers seat to sit on in order to prevent any wear/aging on the upholstery. I also purchased a spare set of floor mats that are new in the wrapper so they would be new when the (sad) day came to sell it, which would be now, unfortunately.


It has been operated only on premium fuel- I've been the sole driver.  72mo/75,000 Mazda TotalCare extended warranty (transferrable) is included!...  basically covers everything except normal wear/tear.
I'm Planning a trip to Denver & back  mid August, so expect approx. 2,000 miles more if not sold by 8/14.
But wait... there's more! 
In January 2010, I had the following factory-authorized modifications done by the Mazda dealership: 
     Added the Mazda Cold Air Intake (approx $600)   
     Added the Mazda Performance Exhaust System.(approx. $950).
     Purchased a Cobb tuner. (paid $625.)  This is the handheld computer that allows you to tweak settings, etc.  They set it on a specific setting and it hasn't changed since.

None of these modifications affect the warranties, and I have kept most of the parts that were replaced for the cold-air intake mod, if you want them, as well as the original fuel door.
This Speed3 has only been street-driven, NEVER raced, never seen a track. Factory governed at 165, I believe, but the Cobb tuner can overwrite that.
I LOVE driving this car, so if terms are reached, I'm open to discussing a possible one-way road trip in your direction.
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this, and I assure you, all of the descriptions are accurate.

We go Unplugged to celebrate Mazda Miata Month

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

Chances are good that you, loyal Autoblog reader, have long since chosen to follow us on Twitter and 'like' us on Facebook. (If you haven't, feel free to take a second and do so right now.) Anyway, if you're one of our social media posse, you might have already heard that we're smack dab in the middle of Miata Month. We've gotten Mazda to loan us a couple of MX-5 Miatas, allowing us to say a protracted, tear-filled goodbye to the current generation (NC) of the beloved roadster, just before it exits stage right and ushers in the next generation.
You'll see a few more Miata Month items here on Autoblog after we've said our final farewell, but we absolutely wanted to make sure we created some great video evidence of our month, as well. Right down below, then, in its unfiltered-audio splendor, is the Autoblog Unplugged version of the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT. Your author had a pretty great time wringing out the roadster for the creation of our short vid, and we really hope you dig listening along.

2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Automatic Road Test | Cue the sad trombone

Mon, May 18 2020

Somewhere in Hiroshima, a parade of nearly finished Miatas glides along a track waiting to receive their beating hearts, the powertrains that'll let them ply their road-carving talents the world over. One – let's call him Fred – is eager to begin his new life as a 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata, bringing joy to his future owner and just generally being awesome, even if the RF power targa-ish roof that's already been applied to him is a tad dweeby. Visions of hairpins and power slides and expertly executed heal-toe downshifts dance in his head Â… and then it happens. He is given the one thing every new Miata dreads: an automatic transmission. Poor guy. This will not, entirely at least, be yet another diatribe in the ongoing Quixotic campaign to Save the Manuals(!). Automatic transmissions can be quite good and even beneficial in sports cars, especially on the track where removing the need to operate a clutch and expertly execute those heel-toe downshifts lets you better focus on the steering, what the chassis is doing and just going faster. That the computers can shift quicker than you can is another obvious advantage. The trouble with the Miata, and why Fred is now shuffling off the line like George Michael away from the Banana Stand, is that the Mazda six-speed automatic just isn't appropriate for a sports car. The automatics in the rest of Mazda's fleet are actually quite excellent, delivering superior response than rival transmissions, and delivering comparable fuel economy despite possessing fewer gears. However, what works well in a compact crossover like the CX-5 or CX-30 is not necessarily appropriate for a sports car like a Miata. Unlike the dual-clutch transmissions or even some sport-tuned conventional automatics of various performance-oriented cars, this one doesn't downshift adroitly when braking into a corner, anticipating your imminent need to get back on the power. The plastic paddle shifters lack the reassuring, mechanical feel of the best examples, and then don't produce quick-enough reactions from the transmission when up- or downshifting. I found using the shifter itself, which is at least oriented the correct way – with downshift forward and upshift rearward – to ultimately be more rewarding as it has a more involving action to it. Still, it's nothing compared to the solid, snick-snick action of the six-speed manual.
