2001 Metallic green Mazda Miata with original tan top, tan leather interior and carpets with Nardi Torino trim and factory Bose stereo. Top has glass rear window with built in defroster. This was the first year for the NB generation (1999-2005) facelift including restyling of the front bumper cover and adding fog lights. This was also the year that variable valve timing was introduced bumping up power and fuel economy. The transmission is a 6 speed manual.

Overall the car is in good condition and is clean. The car has 143,000 miles and has normal wear and tear like some wear on floor mats, drivers leather seat a few minor scuffs and scratches in paint etc. the car runs and drives great (I have been getting 32-35mpg driving it back and forth to work). It has new wheels and tires (wheels from 2013 Mini Cooper) and continental extreme contact 205/45ZR16 tires with less than 10,000 miles on them. The car is inspected in PA until May 2014. I have the title in my hand and also a copy of the car fax (clean/no accidents).

The car is being sold as it is a 2nd vehicle used to commute to work but my company has opened a satellite office that is only 25 miles round trip compared to the 80 I was previously driving. 
There are 2 issues with the car that require or will require attention in the near future. These are both common problems that plague the Miata.

1. The rear main seal has a very slow leak (few drops of oil when parked overnight/extended period of time)
2. The passenger side outer rocker panel (body/cosmetic only) has an area of rust. The structural panel underneath is only pitted and does not require repair at this time. I was planning on cutting away the rusted metal, coating with rust inhibitor and installing factory side skirts which I purchased directly through Mazda to cover the area. I have not done this work yet since I decided to sell the car I want the buyer to be able to repair in whatever way they see fit. The side skirt kit is going to with the car to the buyer. The driver side is showing signs of rusting from the inside also but it has not yet shown on the outside. Another option is purchasing new stamped steel outer rocker panels and cutting the bad part out of the existing panels and welding the new ones in. The prefabricated panels cost $90 each side.

2016 Mazda CX-3 is a 2 cute ute

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

One day removed from our latest round of spy photos, Mazda has finally lifted the veil on its 2016 CX-3 crossover, giving us our very first glimpse at the Mazda2-based entry into the rapidly expanding world of subcompact crossovers.
Mazda's KODO design language is once again on display, presenting some increasingly familiar styling touchstones including a five-point grille that integrates neatly with the front headlights to present an almost protruding snout that's both clean and complex. Like previous KODO designs, the CX-3's profile features swoopy character lines that highlight the wheel arches and a higher beltline. Mazda has cleverly chosen to black out the CX-3's D-pillar in favor of a floating roof look, a design decision that adds to the model's fashionable styling. It's the rear of the design that borrows most heavily from the Mazda2, largely in the shape of the headlights and rear hatch.
Globally, under that fashionable sheetmetal sits Mazda's 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder that can be mated to a six-speed manual or automatic. Unfortunately, in North America, it looks like we'll only get the automatic. Regardless of gearbox, power can be sent to an optional next-gen all-wheel-drive system that uses the active torque control system found on the Mazda CX-5. Like the Mazda2, front-drive is standard.

Mazda MX-5 Miata goes Head 2 Head with Subaru BRZ

Wed, Aug 5 2015

It's a battle that's been in the making for some time now: the Subaru BRZ versus the Mazda MX-5 Miata. And now that the new Miata has arrived – and in Club spec to boot – that's exactly what Motor Trend has lined up for its latest episode of Head 2 Head. Now before you go screaming that one's a coupe and the other a convertible, take a few commonalities into account. Roofs aside, both feature a 2.0-liter four mounted up front, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Both are made by Japanese automakers and cost around $25-30k, give or take. Both produce around the same amount of torque, and while the Subaru may be more powerful, the Mazda's considerably lighter. To create a more even contest, then, you'd have to line a BRZ up against a Scion FR-S, or the MX-5 against the upcoming Fiat version of the same. Of course, being that close on paper doesn't mean that it's a draw. One has to come out on top. And after taking both along country roads and the Streets of Willow racing circuit, our friends at MT have picked one over the other. You'll want to watch the 22-minute video above (or at least skip ahead to the end) to see which came out on top, but if you're as enthused by a purist driver's car as we are, you'll enjoy every minute of it.

Mazda3 diesel under consideration for US, hybrid not so much

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

It's been a long time coming, but we finally clapped our eyes on the real deal, officially official 2014 Mazda3 in hatchback form yesterday. Yet there's a lot more to learn about this next-generation version of what has always been one of our favorite compacts. We know that the US version will come with one of two Skyactiv engines, but what about alternatives? Will there be any... or will the gasoline-fed four-cylinders be powerful and frugal enough to carry the day?
According to Automotive News, the answer is a definite maybe. Mazda North America CEO Jim O'Sullivan has told the trade publication that his employer will consider adding the company's well-liked 2.2-liter Skyactiv diesel powerplant to the model down the road. However, the company first wants to see how the engine fares with American consumers in its big-brother Mazda6 sedan, a model that goes on sale later this year. As for a potential Mazdaspeed3 successor, mum is still the word.
Anything else? Uncharacteristically, Mazda will build a hybrid model of its new 3. We say "uncharacteristically," because the Japanese independent has long shied away from gas-electric powertrain tech. In fact, it's gone so far as to boldly announce its aversion to the technology, with auto show banners proclaiming "Not Electric. Not Hybrid. Not A Drag To Drive." Despite all that, this new generation of Mazda3 will in fact be the company's first full hybrid production model. According to AN, however, O'Sullivan says that the company has "no plans" to sell it in the US.
