04 mazda rx8 1.3 rotary engine. auto w/paddle shifters, leather, sunroof. front aftermarket bumper/ side skirts. lowered 2 inches in the front, 20 inch wheels with very good tread on the tires. navi, flip out dvd with aux input. 105000 miles. only mechanical problem I've ever had with this car was the alternator. Was fixed with OEM alternator. Bad things: the big wheels screwed up a traction sensor. I've driven the car at least 40k miles with this "problem" and there is no issue beside TCS is stuck on, and 2 lights on the gauges are on. The left headlight needs to be replaced because of moisture issues. That is the reason for the obo. the high beam and running lights work great in the headlight, but the low beam hid works ever so often. the car's paint is far from perfect, but it is an older car. The window tint was bubbling and it made it hard to see clearly, so I removed the tint, but it would not completely come off of the rear window. I recommend getting familiar with rotary engines before considering this car, because they are tricky sometimes. This car's "good" blue book value is around $6800, so even with the buy it now price, you're still getting a good deal. Over the past 5 1/2 years of owning this car, I've have babied it. I've changed the oil every 3000 miles on the nose, and ran nothing but premium fuel through it. The car sits really low, so you have to drive with care. I bought the car from a dealership, and I believe I am the second owner. I have never had a wreck in the car, (knock on wood). I do not want to get rid of this car, but I bought a new truck, and no use in paying insurance on it if it is just sitting in the garage. Email me with questions.

Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

Mazda pits 2016 MX-5 Miata against the original

Fri, Jun 19 2015

Mazda has toiled admirably to keep the latest MX-5 Miata true to the spirit of the original. But just how close did the team come? To find out, the Japanese automaker brought two bookending examples of its iconic roadster down to a racetrack in Spain and put them in the hands of a couple of endurance racing drivers – Jade Paveley in the original, Owen Mildenhall in the new model. Whichever crossed the finish line first at the end of one lap would win. And because 25 years of progress wouldn't exactly make it a fair match, they gave the original a four-second head start. Watch the video above to see how it went down. Related Video:
