This is a 1994 Mazda Miata, Limited Edition "M-Edition".  I am the fourth owner.  The second owner drove it until the Timing Belt broke at around the 83,000 mile mark then let it sit.  The third owner bought it to repair, but didn't have time to, so I bought it from him.  The body is perfect with no rust.  The following items had been replaced:

  • Battery
  • Clutch Master Cylinder
  • Clutch Slave Cylinder
  • Engine Mounts
  • Fuel Injector Harness
  • Fuel Tank
  • Most Gaskets
  • Radiator
  • Radiator Hoses
  • Radio
  • Starter
  • Timing Belt
  • Tires
  • Vinyl Top
The air conditioning system was professionally repaired by Mazda of Wesley Chapel and is blowing cold air.  The fuel injectors were removed, professionally serviced and flow tested - They are working like new.

Here are the negatives:
  • The leather seats are worn and need to be either covered or replaced - See Pictures.
  • While installing the new cloth top, I inadvertently drilled a hole through the top.  It's been patched and it doesn't leak, but you could definitely see the repair - See Picture. 
  • The Paint - The top (clear) coat is peeling on the front fender (see picture).
  • The Speakers need to be replaced.
  • Antenna - The top is broken and I believe it should retract, but it doesn't.
  • The steering wheel is worn and I have a cover over it.

All the negatives are relatively minor and don't impact the ride.  The engine is strong and relatively young (only 85,000 miles) and provides for a fun and peppy ride.  Fix up the mostly cosmetic repairs and you have yourself a pretty cool (and rare) ride.

According to a Miata website, "only 3,000 of these were made in 1994.  The Mazda Miata M Edition series of vehicles are very desirable and sought after by Miata enthusiasts.  Searching for a low mileage clean M Edition and finding one is to may like finding the ultimate Miata.  Fairly expensive when first introduced, they can now be found priced as a regular used car, particularly if the seller has no idea what an M Edition is.  Further, the well known used car resale value guides seem to somewhat under value what Miatas are actually trading hands for.  Most clean Miatas will usually sell over blue book value.  M Editions are not sequentially numbered and their VIN numbers will be scattered throughout the regular run for each year.  A total of 12,470 M Editions were manufactured throughout the 4 year run. The colors and features will make any M Edition stand out at a gathering of Miatas and the clean low mileage ones are harder and harder to find.  Montego Blue Mica is the only M Edition color that was used as a regular color in subsequent years through 1997.  The chrome 7 spoke wheels best identify the '94 M as well as M Edition badging, but 1994 is also the last year for the real oil pressure gauge.  The '94 M was the only M-Edition that came with the original style of leather seats that were designed to emulate the seats in certain Ferrari models.  Special features include a Nardi wood shift knob and hand brake handle, polished 7 spoke alloy wheels with locks, air conditioning, stainless M Edition sill plates, M Edition custom mats, power steering, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors, alloy wheels, Torsen limited slip differential, cruise control, power window, headrest speakers and a power antenna".

The car is sold AS-IS.

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019

Tue, Dec 24 2019

It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references.  Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.

Mazda Hazumi Concept previews next Mazda2 in Geneva [w/videos]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The official photos of Mazda's Hazumi concept leaked out yesterday, but we have finally gotten to see it in real life at the Geneva Motor Show. Our view is that its Kodo lines looks as good on the diminutive car's sheet metal as they did in photos.
The Hazumi was designed to appear to be bursting with energy, and it seems to deliver. While Mazda refuses to actually say that this is the concept for the next Mazda2, it makes it clear that the little hatchback is "foreshadowing Mazda's next-generation subcompact car." We can all read between the lines.
Hazumi also introduces the new Skyactiv-D 1.5-liter diesel engine but details about it are scant at the moment. The specs for the engine are still unannounced, but the company promises that it is both very efficient and has lots of torque for its size. Mazda is also promising that its Mazda Connect infotainment system will be available in the car too. Scroll down for the brief press release a brace of videos that celebrate the tiny concept's arrival.

2014 Mazda6: July/August 2013

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Our newest long-termer - the Soul Red 2014 Mazda6 seen here - arrived in my driveway at the end of June. Without hesitation, I immediately put it to work as a daily driver, carpool bus and family vacation sled, and it accomplished all of those tasks with aplomb. Now, more than 4,000 miles down the road, I am left convinced that Mazda's latest midsize sedan is one of the best in its segment.
During the past 60 days, I have subjected the Mazda6 to scorching travel across Southwestern deserts, wheezing climbs over 8,000-foot-high Sierra Nevada mountain passes and basking in the cool ocean breezes of Malibu. It traveled with four passengers and a full load of luggage from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe, and it braved the bumper-to-bumper freeway congestion on a weekday trip down to San Diego. It accomplished everything that was asked of while hardly skipping a beat - it has only required a regular sip of unleaded fuel to keep it moving forward.
