I'm selling my trusty 1991 Mazda Miata. I'm the original owner, bought it new in 1991, and the fact that it's lasted this long has amazed me. This has been my everyday city car in San Francisco for more than 20 years. For about 15 of those years this car was garaged. Since 2001 I've worked at home, so I've been putting about 7500 miles or less per year on it.
- It runs
- Starts reliably
- New (2yr) catalytic converter
- California car, no significant rust
- Smoke free
- Clearwater door speakers
- Tires have 10K or so left
- Clutch, water pump, timing belt are fine, replaced in the last 5 years.
- Newer rear brakes and rotors.
- Original spare in trunk
- Original radio works
- Gets about 26mpg
- Extensive service records
- Shop manual
- Clear title
- Significant oil leak.
- Recent steering fluid issue -- I assume there's a small leak, the fluid is low but not empty. This has been going on for about 2 weeks.
- Speedo cable broken 5 tanks ago. I've estimated the actual mileage at 189,500. I have another vehicle I've been driving the past few weeks.
- Body damage as visible in pictures.
- Convertible top zipper is failing. This top has a glass window. It's still sound, but it won't handle being opened and closed many more times. This will require a replacement top, unless you know how to repair the zipper, and I'm not aware that that's possible.
- Ripped driver's seat. Common in older Miatas.
- Shocks are dead and need to be replaced.
- Shift knob skirt is torn.
- Driver's side window seal is creeping up, needs to be re-seated.
- Radio works, but sometimes won't turn on, especially if it's been cold over night. After driving a while, it turns on.
- Air conditioning no longer blows cold.
- Appears to be a problem with the main cooling fan. Most of the time the car runs at normal temp (halfway between cold and hot on temp gauge). On very long uphills or in bumper to bumper traffic, it gets hot. It has never overheated. Turning on the AC runs the AC fan and cools the car.

2014 Mazda3 officially rated at 30/41 mpg, priced from $16,945*
Wed, 24 Jul 2013It's hard not to be smitten with the 2014 Mazda3; after all, just look at it. But beyond its slick lines, we found the new compact hatch to be a pretty remarkable steer, offering up good levels of comfort and refinement, not to mention functionality and engagement. Now, there's more reason to like the 2014 Mazda3, as we've just learned that the car will officially be rated at 30 miles per gallon city and 41 mpg highway.
That 30/41 rating is for the Mazda3 sedan fitted with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Opting for the manual transmission retains the 41-mpg highway number, but drops the city digits to 29. Hatchback models with the 2.0-liter engine achieve 29/40 mpg with the manual 'box and 30/40 with the automatic.
Mazda also offers a larger 2.5-liter inline-four in the 3, and while a six-speed automatic will be the only transmission available with this engine at launch, the automaker has confirmed that a manual is coming shortly. With the 6AT and 2.5, the Mazda3 sedan is rated at 28/39 mpg, or 29/40 with the company's i-Eloop regenerative braking system. Hatchback models shrink those numbers to 28/37 and 29/39 mpg, with and without i-Eloop, respectively.
Mazda rolls out unlimited mileage warranty in Canada
Fri, 14 Nov 2014Cold weather might be starting to grip parts of Canada, but our neighbors to the north are going to be able to drive their 2015 Mazda cars and utilities from Vancouver to Montreal with a little more peace of mind. That's because Mazda Canada is instituting an unlimited mileage warranty for its new models.
The updated plan starts with all 2015 model year vehicles (even those already sold), and the scheme simply removes that distance limit on everything but the emissions defect coverage. That means that the Mazdas have one year of service adjustments, three years of new vehicle coverage, five years on the powertrain, seven years against corrosion and three years of roadside assistance for as many kilometers as the owner drives.
The change removes at least one, tiny piece of anxiety about buying a new vehicle because it's easy to know when the coverage ends. "By offering our customers an Unlimited Mileage Warranty, we believe it will enhance their ownership experience by alleviating concerns such as kilometre limitations, repair costs and resale value," Kory Koreeda, president of Mazda Canada, in the automaker's announcement.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
