Rare Nice Rust Free Az 1 Owner 1984 Mazda Rx-7 5 Spd Ac Original Paint Loaded on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
1984 Mazda RX-7 GS When you think of 80s Performance Imports what comes to mind ? This car is at the top of the list and in case you havent noticed they are getting much harder to find, esp this nice and this original ! Up for auction a nice clean unmolested First GEN RX7 the car that changed the look for Mazda for people to take notice and say "yeah, I could drive that !!" this is a 1 owner car, was originally bought new outta Santa Cruz CA and owned by an older woman since day 1. Been well kept and maintained its whole life and what Id call a nice unmolested survivor. Soon after it left CA it came to AZ where its was garage kept most of its life. Very little sun damage and zero rust on the body or floors, RX7s like this are getting harder to find these days. The original paint still actually in nice shape over most of the car and chances are it could be buffed out and brought back to look nice with an afternoon detail job. Check out our feedback - feel comfortable buying from someone like us with GREAT large pics in our ads and GREAT FEEDBACK. Ive been driving the car around now for the last week almost daily and it has plenty of power, starts and runs great every time and is a blast to drive. Had receipts from original owner showing all the oil changes and repairs it needed since 84. Nice history tracked over its whole life. Car even comes with the original window sticker and misc pamphlets given to the owner when new. DRIVETRAIN: Original 12A Rotory runs great with plenty of power in every gear. ALL stock - un molested just the way Mazda built it. Whenever something broke or wore out it was repaired and kept on the road. Under the hood looks almost like when it was new. Mild oil leaks under the car but they are small. Shocks do feel a little worn out and soft but the brakes and rest of the car feel better then a car this old. Not sure where its suppose to idle out, but to me it idles a little lower then normal, but mostly when its cold. Plugs, cap and rotor are new. Fires up fine whether its hot or cold. Power of the little rotary motor is just like it should be and transmission feels great. Cruise control not working due to a broken vacuum nipple off the canister under the hood. Runs great, the gas in the tank may be 6m old from not being driven much lately, so I think once whats in there is run out and fresh 91 is put in it, it will only run even better. INTERIOR: Doesnt look like a car that is almost 30 yrs old thanks to being in the garage most of its life. Check out the Pics, which show how nice the car still is. Its always been taken care of and kept clean and shows little wear. The worst spot, the dr side door panel by the window which would be a really easy fix if you wanted to. Sunroof I think may even be a pop out, not sure. Everything works best I can tell inside the car. Even the original factory stereo etc works well and the dash was never cut up or trashed. Glass is all great around, may be one chip in the windshield. AC all connected and worked last summer, but now it is blowing warm not cold. SUSPENSION: All stock original down to the OE alloy rims Feels good, but Im sure it will need some bushings if you looked hard. But no weird noises , but Im sure the shocks are old, the ride is a little mushy. Tires decent, and should get you by for another yr. The great thing about taking apart a rust free car like this when it comes time to work on it, you have less hassles with broken bolts etc making the future repairs and maintenance that much easier. Brake feel great too. BODY: Really nice shape for its age. A few small dents and dings. The 2 worst spots : LF Fender and RR wheel well (see pics) Trunk struts work well, this is a great Driver as is or would be an easy car to restore back to original. Honestly, if you buffed the paint out and just drove it you could keep the car still 100% original and in most cases thats way better then just tossing new paint on a car to be pretty.

2014 Mazda6: June 2013
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The 2014 Mazda6 is our most recent addition to the Autoblog long-term fleet, and we spent the month of June getting to know our Soul Red tester, generally enjoying the honeymoon phase of this twelve-month relationship. During June, the Mazda6 spent the majority of its time with director of photography Drew Phillips, who in addition to putting together this pretty gallery of our rakish long-term car, had a lot to say about it as a daily driver.
You see, not too long before Mazda delivered our long-term 6, Drew bought a 2014 CX-5 crossover to support his growing family. The CX-5 was the first vehicle to use Mazda's full suite of Skyactiv technologies, and we've generally enjoyed the good-to-drive CUV. A lot of that CX-5 goodness lies beneath the more shapely lines of this sleek Mazda6 sedan, so it's only fitting that Drew had a lot of comparisons between Mazda's two housemates during his month behind the wheel.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata battles Toyota GT86 on track
Mon, Oct 5 2015It's got two doors and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine up front, driving the rear wheels. It's made in Japan, and as far as bang-for-your-buck goes, it's a downright bargain. So which are we talking about, the Mazda MX-5 Miata, or the Toyobaru coupe known alternately as the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, or Toyota GT-86? The answer is "yes," and it just goes to show, roofs notwithstanding, how close these two vehicles really are to one another. Which one is your favorite may come down to a matter of personal taste, but for its latest video, Auto Express set out to find out which laps faster around the track. On paper at least, the Toyota's 200 horsepower will trump the Mazda's 155 any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Then again, the Miata does weigh a good 400 pounds less, even with the 2.0-liter engine and despite its convertible bodystyle – but is that enough to make up the difference? You're going to have to just watch the video for yourself to find out. All we'll tell you is that the match is pretty darn close – what you might call a photo finish, if they were actually racing each other at the same time as opposed to each racing the clock separately. So watch the video above and voice your support for your favorite little Japanese sports car in the Comments section. Related Video:
Why a production Mazda Koeru won't be a Subaru Outback clone
Wed, Dec 9 2015No automaker has had a hit quite like the Outback Many have entered, few have won. The Subaru Outback is one of those automotive bogeys that competitors seek to imitate but never quite capture. Mazda is poised to change that, its CEO tells Automotive News, with a production version of the Koeru concept. We're torn on whether this attempt will be the one to do it, whether the proposed model is truly aimed at the Outback, or whether it's just another pale imitation destined for failure. While the ingredients are pretty basic – wagon-like shape, extra cladding, a smidge more ground clearance than a regular car – no automaker has had a hit quite like the Outback. Reasons include packaging issues, poor brand fit, and Subaru's seemingly unstoppable momentum in building all-wheel-drive archetypes. That hasn't stopped a bunch of companies from trying. And now for a list: Ford attempted with the Freestyle/Taurus X; note that that model no longer exists, having been replaced de facto by the Flex and the newly crossover-ified Explorer. Audi discontinued the A4 Avant and slapped the Allroad badge and some fender flares on to capture the affluent outdoorsy crowd, initially selling well but now down 40 percent since last year. The humpback Honda (Accord) Crosstour and Toyota Venza could also be considered Outback-apers, as both short-lived models took sedan bodies and added a hatch and optional all-wheel drive. Dodge got into this space a few years back with the Journey Crossroad trim level, but fake brush guards and black wheels do not an Outback make. Volvo has perhaps come closest with the XC70, a not-quite-crossover that it nevertheless brands like its other crossovers. It helps that the Volvo die-hard and the repeat Subaru buyer aren't too different. Most of these models no longer exist, and the ones that do haven't sold as well as Subaru's Outback so far this year. Even if you're generous and add all 96,718 Journey sales (and not just those for the Crossroad, which FCA doesn't break out separately) to V70/XC70, Venza, and Crosstour, it still doesn't equal the 136,227 Outbacks Subaru pushed through November of 2015. And, as Automotive News points out, Mazda hasn't sold that many crossovers so far this year (the number is 129,932 thanks to huge CX-5 numbers). So why is Mazda considering going after the hallowed Outback? First off, we're not sure that it is because there's the question of what tiny niche this vehicle would occupy. "It's a totally new car.
