Up for sale is my 2001 Miata. It's a great little sports car that handles like it's on rails. It's really fun to cruise with the top down especially on a warm summer night. I get 30 mpg around town and 35 on long trips cruising at around 65, She starts, steers, stops and handles like a Miata should. The AC works good and blows cold. I recently replaced the plug wires with new blue NGK wires. The plugs are platinum and they looked good, nice and tan color so I know the car is running right. The compression on all four cylinders was between 175 and 185 measured at the end of January this year. I bought the car from a dealer about a year and a half ago and he didn't have any history info except that it took a hit from the rear some time in the past and the rear bumper was replaced. I have 2 keys for the car both work. The car was very clean both in the interior and in the engine bay when I bought it and I have kept it that way. I have changed the oil on a regular basis and also changed the trans and rear diff oil when i first bought her. I put in a new battery too. I bought two new rear tires about 7000 miles ago. The front tires are good but will probably need to be replaced in about 5000 miles. The top is in excellent condition and I keep the car under cover when not in use. The interior drivers seat shows some wear but is holding up well. The radio and the cd player work as they should.I put on about 10,000 miles on her in the last 18 months and she runs great. This car doesn't burn any oil and everything works as it should. There are a couple of small dings if you look closely and some scratches and paint nicks around as would be expected on a 12 year old car. On the hood, there are some places where scratches have been touched up. The reason I'm selling is because I don't need two cars anymore.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.

Mazda3 to showcase CNG, Hybrid versions in Tokyo
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Mazda has made huge gains in its competitive set with the introduction of its Skyactiv technologies, and the Japanese automaker appears to have no plans on slowing down. While we're still waiting for the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D diesel to go on sale in the US, Mazda announced that it will debut new Skyactiv-Hybrid and Skyactiv-CNG versions of the Mazda3 (standard US-spec model shown above) at next month's Tokyo Motor Show.
Matching up with what we heard earlier in the summer, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid is intended for Japan only, but there are no details about this system regarding fuel economy, electric components or specs. Likewise, there are no details for the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG Concept, which is a bi-fuel version of the car running on both gasoline and compressed natural gas. As this car's name suggests, the CNG model is a concept vehicle, and there is no indication that Mazda plans offering such a model here in the US.
In addition to these two vehicles, Mazda will also have an Atenza (Mazda6) on display showing off some vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety systems, called the ASV-5 (Advanced Safety Vehicle). Scroll down for Mazda's official press release.
