This was my father's fun car. He only drove it on nice days during the summertime. Otherwise it was kept in a heated garage.

The car is in excellent condition and super-clean. The car runs great...if you are available to do so, please consider a test drive.

My father fussed over this car, wrapping the plastic window in a soft towel to prevent scratches whenever he put it down. He used to remind me not to slam the door when exiting the car.

Only a few members of my family were permitted to drive dad's car and it was always handled carefully and treated with respect.

We have many of the original documents, including the window sticker and owner's manuals. We also have major service records.

Although the car is generally in fine shape, there are a few minor flaws in the finish. On three spots (the edge of the driver's door, the jam of the driver's door, and on the passenger-side front fender) the red finish has worn away, exposing the white prime coat (see photos). Also, there is a small scratch on the driver's door (see photo). In addition there are a few small, shallow dents in the passenger side front fender (see photos). Finally, there is a shallow dent in the passenger side door.

The cassette player may or may not be functioning. We have only one cassette that came with the car and it does not play. Otherwise, everything looks good and functions as it should.

All questions and reasonable offers are welcomed. No trades will be considered.

We have been asked about the re-title that occurred recently showing the car's mileage at 14K...this discrepancy occurred when my mother had the car re-titled when my father passed away and failed to update the mileage. We have service records from an authorized Mazda dealer verifying that the car's mileage was 25K in 2009 and 26K in 2012.

2014 Mazda6 to start at $20,880*

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

We got our very first taste of the impressive 2014 Mazda6 back in October, and had more than a few good things to say about the midsizer. One piece of information that was conspicuous by its absence, however, was a sticker price.
Now, with zero pomp and circumstance (not even a press release as of this writing), Mazda has dropped what looks to be official pricing for the 6 on its consumer website.
$20,880 is the asking price for the base Mazda6 Sport with a manual transmission (plus $795 worth of destination charges, for a total of $21,675). Alaska residents will need to cough up $840 for destination. The loaded-up Mazda6 Grand Touring shown on the site will set you back a total of $30,290 (MSRP of $29,495), but it isn't clear if that's the starting price of the Grand Touring trim. Mazda is taking orders for the new 6 right now, and the cars will be available on January 2, 2013.

Mazda recalls 374,500 vehicles because of Takata inflators

Sun, Jan 10 2016

The Basics: Mazda will recall 374,519 examples of the 2003-2008 Mazda6 manufactured from May 29, 2002, to May 5, 2008; the 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 built from July 1, 2005, to June 29, 2007; and the 2004 RX-8 made from June 25, 2003, to June 30, 2003. The Problem: These vehicles contain front passenger airbag inflators from Takata that could rupture in a crash. If this happens, it could spray metal shrapnel at an occupant, which could seriously injure or even kill the person. Injuries/Deaths: The report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration didn't mention injuries or deaths, but Autoblog reached out to Mazda for confirmation. Takata's rupturing inflators allegedly have links to nine deaths globally and around 100 injuries. The Fix: Mazda dealers will replace the passenger side airbag with a new one. If You Own One: Mazda has not said when the replacements for these vehicles will begin. Experts believe that prolonged exposure to high humidity can cause the inflators' ammonium nitrate propellant to ignite too quickly in an accident. More Information: This recall is a nationwide expansion of Mazda's passenger's side airbag recall, which was previously limited to high-humidity regions. The population now includes 310,592 additional examples of the Mazda6, Mazda spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk tells Autoblog. The company discovered this new issue after Takata tested an inflator taken from a Mazda6, and it ruptured, according to NHTSA documents (PDF). The company already had a national safety campaign to fix the driver's side airbags in these vehicles.

The inflators in the front passenger air bags are susceptible to rupture in the event of a crash necessitating the deployment of the front passenger air bag.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata first in-car observations

Sun, 07 Sep 2014

We've had few days to digest the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata since the roadster was first revealed on Wednesday evening when we offered you our first impressions. Since that time, we've gone back and looked at the car a number of times in person here in California, and we've even seen it briefly run under its own power (okay, it was more of a saunter). What we didn't get the chance to do at the reveal, however, was sit inside the car. We've since been able to remedy that, and while we haven't been allowed to drive the new roadster, we do have some initial in-car impressions to share with you.
First, the location and feel of the major controls is quite excellent. The three-spoke steering wheel is an MX-5 specific item - it's not shared with any other Mazda. That's vital, because others would likely be too big in diameter or have the wrong rim thickness. The wheel's redundant controls seem to be well laid out and the airbag boss is very small. The column tilts, but unfortunately and somewhat inexplicably, it still doesn't telescope.
Pedals are well-spaced, and the six-speed manual has the same short throws and positive engagement that we've come to know and love.
