 Up for auction I have a beautiful low mile 2003 Mazda Miata, Shinsen Limited Edition. I purchased from the original owner and have all maintenance records dating to new. Included with the sale you will receive the factory window sticker and welcome letter from Mazda describing the Shinsen.

The paint and body are in amazing condition for an 11 year old car,  with zero dents or dings. You will find a few very minor rock chips on the front of the hood. They are so small that the camera does not pick them up. There is a tiny scuff mark on the right front fender that is barely noticeable.

I had the front seats re-upholstered in a leather material to match the dark blue factory canvas top, which was unique to the Shinsen. The interior is spotless. You will have to look very hard to find any defects. The dash and cluster are new looking with no wear present. Carpet and Door Panels look almost new, although they are original. This is one nicely maintained Miata. The cruise also performs as it should.

The Tires have almost no wear and were purchased from Discount tire with warranties that go to the new owner. The Wheels are the factory size and are new,  I had those installed myself, and they also came from Discount tire. They are Voxx Torinos.

The engine has all the needed maintenance completed. The timing belt and water pump were changed at the 60,000 mile range. I have not seen any visible leaks. The previous owner had the valve cover gasket replaced which was leaking. I have not had a drop of oil in my garage since purchasing.  The only repair I have done was to change the rear end to a Torsen Rear End. Shinsen's came with a sub par Fuji for 2003 only that proved not to be as reliable as the indestructible Torsen. The car runs and drives like new, with no strange sounds, shakes or shimmies and goes straight down the road. The AC performs as it should, nice and cold. The Audio System and Speakers will blow you out of the car.

The only additions from stock added by the previous owner were an Amp which is in the truck, see pics, and Hard Dog Roll Bar that looks great with the car. Those sell for about 500.00 new. The original air cleaner was also changed out to a better breathing one that gives the car a slight growl when accelerated.

You will have to look very hard and long to find a nicer Shinsen Miata. The car is sold As Is with No Warranty. Reserve is fair, so bid to win. Shipping will be the winning bidders responsibility. You could very easily drive this car anywhere, and feel confident in your travels.  Also included with the sale is a nice car cover so keep you new Miata looking as good as it does now.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata firsthand impressions and notebook scribblings

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

In a temporarily repurposed airport hanger in Monterey, CA, the world caught its first glimpse of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata tonight, and I was fortunate enough to attend in person along with my fellow auto media colleagues, Mazda execs, a couple hundred Miata devotees and, oddly, a fair number of Duran Duran fans. The klieg lights have dimmed, Simon Le Bon is no longer ringing in my ears, and I'm left to ponder what I've seen. I've scavenged my notes - and my Twitter feed - to give you some details and brief thoughts.
Fair Warning: I can't claim to be completely impartial (I own a second-generation NB and consider the Miata franchise to be one of but a few sacrosanct franchises in modern motoring), but I will share my honest first impressions of the new car, both good and bad.
Here are my notes:

Mazda CEO closes door on talk of RX sports car revival

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

Some rumors in the auto industry simply refuse to die. Over the last decade, a few of the strongest have focused on Japan. A few years ago, we could have explained away the constant whispering over a new Toyota Supra, Acura NSX or Mazda RX-7 as nostalgia for Japan's golden era of performance. Today, though is different.
We already have the Nissan GT-R, and, thanks to the Toyota FT-1 Concept, a Supra successor finally appears to be on the way. Acura will someday, allegedly, deliver on its promise to put the NSX on sale. So where does that leave the third member of the Japanese performance trio mentioned above? Well, um, it still isn't happening.
"We don't have that kind of vehicle in our future product plan," Mazda CEO Masamichi Kogai told Automotive News when asked about a successor to the rotary-powered RX line. "If you increase the number of segments, then the resources we can allocate to each will decline and that will prevent us from developing truly good products."
