I'm selling my trusty 1991 Mazda Miata. I'm the original owner, bought it new in 1991, and the fact that it's lasted this long has amazed me. This has been my everyday city car in San Francisco for more than 20 years. For about 15 of those years this car was garaged. Since 2001 I've worked at home, so I've been putting about 7500 miles or less per year on it.
- It runs
- Starts reliably
- New (2yr) catalytic converter
- California car, no significant rust
- Smoke free
- Clearwater door speakers
- Tires have 10K or so left
- Clutch, water pump, timing belt are fine, replaced in the last 5 years.
- Newer rear brakes and rotors.
- Original spare in trunk
- Original radio works
- Gets about 26mpg
- Extensive service records
- Shop manual
- Clear title
- Significant oil leak.
- Recent steering fluid issue -- I assume there's a small leak, the fluid is low but not empty. This has been going on for about 2 weeks.
- Speedo cable broken 5 tanks ago. I've estimated the actual mileage at 189,500. I have another vehicle I've been driving the past few weeks.
- Body damage as visible in pictures.
- Convertible top zipper is failing. This top has a glass window. It's still sound, but it won't handle being opened and closed many more times. This will require a replacement top, unless you know how to repair the zipper, and I'm not aware that that's possible.
- Ripped driver's seat. Common in older Miatas.
- Shocks are dead and need to be replaced.
- Shift knob skirt is torn.
- Driver's side window seal is creeping up, needs to be re-seated.
- Radio works, but sometimes won't turn on, especially if it's been cold over night. After driving a while, it turns on.
- Air conditioning no longer blows cold.
- Appears to be a problem with the main cooling fan. Most of the time the car runs at normal temp (halfway between cold and hot on temp gauge). On very long uphills or in bumper to bumper traffic, it gets hot. It has never overheated. Turning on the AC runs the AC fan and cools the car.

First 2014 Mazda3 ad appears
Sat, 29 Jun 2013If we judge by your comments on our recent announcement post about the new Mazad3, you Autoblog readers approve, pretty wholeheartedly, about the redesign efforts happening over at Mazda. Pressed for an opinion, we'd be forced to admit that we find the new 3 quite fetching our own selves.
To add fuel to the fast-burning fire then, Mazda has gone ahead and dropped a 15-second pseudo commercial on YouTube, showing a very rendered Mazda3 in a very rendered driving environment. The short spot is really just slightly more dynamic than the images of the car, but there is a spot of mystery to it, as well.
Right at the start of the video, an interior shot of the car shows a transparent display screen of some kind, rising from the top of the 3's dash. An interesting choice, considering Mazda has bestowed an actual center-mounted display in on the hatchback's dash-top - albeit one that doesn't look like a clear piece of glass. Take a look below, and while you're there, check out a just-released official video of the Mazda3's reveal in New York.

Mazda delays US launch of Skyactiv-D engine
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Japanese automakers haven't lead the charge towards diesel power in the same way as, say, the Germans have. But Mazda is out to change that. It has been following Audi's lead on the racetrack with oil-burning racecars right here in America, and will soon translate that excitement to the road by introducing its Skyactiv-D engine in North America. It just won't happen as soon as we expected.
Mazda announced today that, while its diesel engine meets current emissions requirements, the company has decided once again to push back an introduction originally slated to kick off in the Spring. According to the brief statement below, Mazda wants to take more time to find "the right balance between fuel economy and Mazda-appropriate driving performance."
In other words, the Zoom-Zoom brand apparently thinks its diesel engine doesn't deliver the zoom-zoom American drivers would expect, so we'll have to wait just a little bit longer. Details to follow closer to launch, whenever that will ultimately take place.
