Overview

The Mazda RX7 was only sold in the US from 1993-1995.  The production number was only 13,879 in total, with only 3403 in 1994.  Of those 3403 in 1994 only 118 of them came in the Silver Stone Metallic with the Touring Package and a manual transmission.  And of those 118 only 16 came with the red interior.  1994 was the last year for the Touring Package option, also the last year the red leather was offered as an option, and the first year the Silver Stone Metallic was available.  They softened the suspension in 1994 for the Base and Touring models.  Added in 1994 also was a passenger side airbag, map pockets, and one touch driver’s side window switch.  To say the car here for sale is rare would be an understatement.  Not only would you be hard pressed to find another with the same options and color scheme, you won’t find one in this condition and with this low of miles.  This car has been very well cared for its entire life.  It has been in single ownership since new.  It was garage kept, driven sparingly every year, and never in anything other than sunshine.  Maintenance was regularly performed by Mazda technicians and all the recalls were performed by Mazda as well.    

 

Exterior

This car wears its entirely original paint.  There is not one scratch.  There is a small chip under the rear spoiler.(see photos)  It shines like the day it was sold.  No fading or discolorations, not one sign of any rust.  The front chin spoiler has not been scraped on any low driveways.  Every wheel is in like new condition and wrapped in like new P225/50R16 Goodyear Eagle tires.  There is a dealer installed wind deflector on the glass moonroof, with the white Mazda stamp still visible.  All gaps are good, doors shut properly, and hood/trunk fit is good as well.  It has the optional rear window wiper and washer.  There is also a period cell phone antenna on the rear window. 

 

Interior

The interior in this RX7 is absolutely stunning.  As it should be with only a mere 12,000 miles on the car.  It has never been repaired or replaced, it is all the original leather and trim.  The red leather seats are in amazing condition.  They were very well cared for.  There is not one sign of discoloration or cracks.  The leather is very soft and clean.  There are not any stains or spots in the carpet or the optional floor mats.  The 2 rear compartments are clean and have no scratches in the plastic trim.  The storage compartment on the driver’s door still has its little door.  It has the optional rear cargo cover.  The center console is like new.  The ashtray is clean, the owner was not a smoker.  The pedals are drilled aluminum.  All the electronics work perfectly.  Windows, moonroof, mirrors, and locks all work flawlessly.  All the interior lights, gauges, and wipers are in great working order.  This car has the optional Bose Acoustic Wave Sound System and it works perfectly.  None of the switches or knobs show any wear or discoloration.  The AC blows cold.  The interior of this car is in simply amazing condition.  It does have a period cell phone docking station on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel. 


Mechanicals

The twin turbo 2 cylinder Rotary liter engine runs as strong as the day it was built.  It pulls like a super car.  0-60 MPH time in the mid-5 second range with 255 BHP and 160 MPH top speed.  It has excellent oil pressure.  The cooling system works perfectly.  Electric fans are in proper working condition, coolant is clean, and there is zero smoke or smells.  It has only had premium fuel in its tank.  It only has 12,000 original miles on it.  All the routine services done to the motor were performed by Mazda, according to the original owner.  The turbos are in excellent working condition.  The car has zero leaks.  All the recalls were performed.  All the hoses look to be in great condition.  The clutch feels amazing.  It shifts very smoothly, including into 5th gear.  No rattles, clunks, or shakes.  The 4 wheel disc brakes are firm.  The car rides very smoothly on its original suspension components.


Literature and Extras

The car still has all its original books, pamphlets, and holders.  The original window sticker and original spare key.  It comes with extra oil filters and air filters from Mazda and the original Bose Sound System test CD.  Also, the moonroof interior cover.    


Conclusion

You are not going to find a nicer original example of the Mazda RX7.  It has had no modifications, like most of the others on the market.  This car is ready to be driven if you so choose too.  Simply a joy to drive!

Why we can't have better headlights here in the U.S.

Tue, Mar 13 2018

It wouldn't be a European auto show if we weren't teased with at least one mainstream vehicle we can't have here. At the Geneva Motor Show last week, the small but vocal contingent of shooting-brake buffs lamented that the Mazda6 wagon won't be coming to our shores, although they can take comfort in the fact that the vehicle won't get the torquey 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine we'll get here. Mercedes-Benz also announced a new headlight technology in Geneva that likely won't be available here anytime soon. It's just the latest in a long line of innovative and potentially lifesaving front-lighting solutions that the federal government doesn't allow in this country due to outdated standards — and a current lack of leadership at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Mercedes-Benz's new Digital Light system that debuted in Geneva uses a computer chip to activate more than a million micro-reflectors to better illuminate the road ahead. The Digital Light headlamps works with the vehicle's cameras, sensors and navigation mapping to adjust lighting for the given location and situation and to detect other road users. The Digital Light technology also serves as an extended head-up display of sorts by projecting symbols on the pavement ahead to alert drivers to, say, slippery conditions or pedestrians in the road. And it can even project lines on the road in a construction zone or through tight curves to show the driver the correct path. Digital Light will be available on Mercedes-Maybach vehicles later this year, although like any technology it's bound to trickle down to less expensive vehicles. That is, if we ever get it here in the U.S. Audi, a leader in automotive lighting, has repeatedly run into snags trying to bring state-of-the-art car headlights to the U.S. The German luxury automaker's recently introduced matrix laser headlight system, which performs many of the same trick as Mercedes-Benz's Digital Light, also isn't legal on U.S. roads. And five years after the introduction of its matrix-beam LED lighting, which illuminates more of the road without blinding oncoming motorists with brights by simultaneously operating high and low beams, Audi still can't bring that technology to the U.S. either.

2014 Mazda CX-5 with 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Back in October, we compared the relative merits of two new and very good small crossovers: the 2013 Ford Escape and 2013 Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 we tested then had Mazda's 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine under its hood, and it managed to just edge out the EcoBoosted Ford despite being down by some 23 horsepower and 34 pound-feet of torque. Had it been available, the 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine that we recently had the opportunity to try out in the 2014 Mazda CX-5, it may have made that comparison even easier to call in the Japanese CUV's favor.
Clearly, if you're in the market for a reasonably sized crossover, the CX-5 should, at the very least, be on your test-drive list. The new engine offering will let buyers opt for a stronger powerplant, with 184 hp and 185 lb-ft on tap. On our second day in Austin's Hill Country - the first was spent quick-spinning the 2014 Mazda6 i Sport, you'll recall - we covered a couple of hundred miles and put the new CX-5 through its paces; here's what we turned up.

Mazda revamping dealers with 'Retail Evolution'

Sun, Aug 30 2015

Mazda introduced its Retail Revolution dealership design language 12 years ago, which focused on open-plan spaces, multimedia areas, and allowing customers to interact with the brand before needing to interact with a salesperson. Two years ago the carmaker started work on the next step in its dealership design, and the new language, called Retail Evolution, was unveiled at Mazda of Everett in Seattle, Washington. Aiming to make the Mazda brand feel more premium and increase dealer profits, it goes even further on the open-plan to create "a new level of business transparency." It's all done with a lot of black, white, raw wood, metal finishes, and a lot of glass. Mazda Lounges will offer free wi-fi, and digital displays will replace static photographs. So as not to hurt showrooms still recouping their investment in Retail Revolution, Mazda will work with dealers to figure out how best to update facilities, and the Retail Evolution has three tiers that can be adapted to particular locations. The press release is below, a couple of renderings are above. MAZDA ANNOUNCES ALL-NEW RETAIL EVOLUTION DEALERSHIP DESIGN Mazda of Everett Showcases First Ground-Up Retail Evolution Design IRVINE, Calif. (August 27, 2015) – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced its all-new dealership design, dubbed "Retail Evolution", featuring an open concept floorplan that offers a new level of business transparency, and a look and feel enhanced through the use of natural materials that results in an even more upscale decor than the company's current popular Retail Revolution design. The first Retail Evolution dealership built from the ground up to this exacting standard will be Mazda of Everett in Seattle, Wash., opening today. "Thanks to our KODO design philosophy and suite of SKYACTIV technologies, our vehicle lineup has never been stronger. We are now able to take that groundbreaking design language and translate it into our dealership experience," said Jim O'Sullivan, president & CEO, MNAO. "Retail Evolution embodies the spirit and direction of the Mazda brand, while offering an upscale experience our customers expect and deserve." Clad in premium black, clean white, and featuring new chrome Mazda signage, the new Retail Evolution Mazda dealerships will provide dealers with strong curb appeal. New materials throughout the building give dealers an upscale look and feel with warm raw-material tones of wood and metal in the showroom.
