First year production model for the 1994 Mazda Miata M-Edition. Only 3000 produced in 1994, and only produced for 4 years. Very rare car, if you can find an M-Edition and especially in good condition.

All 3000 1994 M-Editions were produced in Montego Blue Mica (color code M8) with tan leather interior and tan top. Top and back window was replaced in the last 2 years. Color is unique and looks blue until the sun hits it when it appears to be a beautiful rich green/blue shade. Top is new and in excellent shape.

Special and Standard Features: Standard Nardi wood shift knob and hand brake handle, polished 7 spoke 14" wheels, air conditioning (works great), stainless M Edition sill plates, original M-Edition custom mats (have normal wear). Includes all A and B package options which include, power steering, leather wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors, alloy wheels, torsen limited slip differential, cruise control, power windows, headrest speakers (and they still work),and power antenna (new).

Car was purchased in 2006 for my son to drive while he was in high school. At that time the car had 88000 miles. I bought the car locally and it was purchased new in Spartanburg SC. He outgrew the car so it was sold to a friend (school teacher) until I bought it back from her this past year. Car has been garaged most of the time since 2006, and from the appearance prior to that as well.

The car runs and drives great. It's a 4 cylinder 1.8 liter with 128 hp. The gas mileage is great, around the low/mid 20's. I replaced all brake pads and tires in 2008, and are not in need of replacement yet. Since I've owned the car I've replaced the pwr antenna, the water pump, and the timing belt. I added the chrome roll bar in 2007, I replaced the stock radio with a Pioneeer radio/CD player complete with I-Pod connection, and 250 watt speakers. Sound is great. I have all the original parts that have been replaced, such as the original radio. All interior and paint are original, with the exception of a small panel in the passenger sear I had replaced because of a tear, and the same seat has a small scratch (but not a tear). In 2007 a deer ran into the front of the car so we replaced the hood and nose/bumper. All the work was done by a local custom shop and looks as good if not better than original. As you can see from the pics the paint looks great for the age, and while there are some small imperfections and nicks nothing serious.

I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have to ensure you have a clear understanding of what you are bidding on.

The car is for sale locally also so I reserve the right to end this sale at anytime.

Are you the 2016 Mazda Miata?

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

Tech nerds are spoiled. Every year, there's a new iPhone that arrives following months and months of breathless speculation and rumormongering. We car folk have a more difficult life, because vehicles with the iPhone's cult-like devotion and following, while plentiful, only receive hefty updates after several years. Case in point, the Mazda MX-5.
There's a new one coming, and much like the iPhone 6, it'll arrive in just a few weeks. So, in lockstep with the tech folk, we're anxiously biding our time and waiting with baited breath for the expected debut date of September 3. Also, like Apple fanboys, we're clamoring over any hint or teaser as to what the next-gen Miata will bring, which is why we're showing you the above image.
That is, allegedly, the new MX-5 hiding under the sheet. Auto Motor und Sport has the image, which according to World Car Fans was released by Mazda. Of course, we've reached out to the Zoom-Zoom brand for verification of its authenticity, and will be sure to update as soon as we hear back.

Mazda's next-gen SkyActiv engines will drop spark plugs in favor of high compression

Mon, Jan 16 2017

Homogeneous charge compression ignition, or HCCI, is the black art of internal combustion engines that aims to produce diesel-like fuel efficiency for the cost of gasoline. Although some of its competitors have developed and subsequently given up on the tech, Mazda confirmed that the next-generation of SkyActiv engines will employ HCCI technology, improving fuel economy by 30 percent and at the same time reducing exhaust emissions. According to Nikkei, a new SkyActiv family of engines is set to debut under the hood of the next-gen Mazda3 sometime in 2018 before making its way into other vehicles. In simple terms, an engine that uses HCCI burns the air/fuel mix using pressure instead of with spark plugs, just like a diesel. At 14:1, Mazda's gasoline engines already have some of the highest compression ratios out there, but a move to HCCI means cranking up the compression to 18:1. While the tech sounds relatively straightforward, using HCCI means dealing with a number of side issues. It's one of those "on paper" ideas that compounds problems when put into practice. Heat, revs, and fuel must all be carefully managed as gasoline doesn't burn the same way as diesel. Mazda is mum on details, but the automaker seems confident that the issues have been sorted. If the new engines do indeed make it to market with HCCI, Mazda will have out-engineered GM, Daimler, and Hyundai, all of which have tried and failed to develop HCCI engines in a cost-effective package. With the market moving towards electrification, it's interesting to see Mazda still focusing so heavily on traditional internal combustion gasoline engines. It's an indication of where they see the market heading for the next few years. Although the automaker has been hesitant to move forward with hybrid and electric powertrains, Nikkei also reports that Mazda will begin mass production of EVs in 2019. Related Video:

Mazda6 diesel delayed until April

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Diesel enthusiasts waiting on the new Skyactiv-D-powered Mazda6 will have to wait a bit longer. The shapely fuel-efficient four-door has just had its North American launch pushed back to April, due to delays in emissions testing. Mazda had originally planned to launch the Mazda6 diesel before the end of this year, making the four- to five-month delay a rather serious one.
Mazda's senior vice president of US operations, Robert Davis, told Mazda employees in a letter obtained by Automotive News that, "final certification testing - the results of which are looking encouraging - is taking longer than we had initially expected." Following this letter, Mazda made an official announcement:
"The on-sale date for Mazda6 SKYACTIV-D clean-diesel has been moved to late-Spring 2014, to accommodate final emissions testing and certification. We are pleased with the ongoing development and are excited to launch this much-anticipated vehicle in North America. 2014 Mazda6 sales continue to exceed both our expectations and our production abilities, and supplies of the car are short at dealers across the U.S. More information on the SKYACTIV-D clean diesel Mazda6 will be available closer to the on-sale date."
