This terrific 2001 Mazda Miata has been garaged, cared for, and has just the right upgrades making it, in my opinion, the perfect Miata. If you want a Miata that has all of the goodies and none of the abuse, this is the car that you have been looking for. Highlights include:

++ Original paint, body, and leather (always garaged)
++ $550 Brand new Dunlop tires with less than 2k on them
++ $3,195 S1 Bell Engineering Turbo System (not including installation + $1,800) – Arguably the best, no fuss, conservatively tuned turbo for Miata with lots of upside potential for the enthusiast.
++ $602 Racing Beat high performance exhaust recommended by Bell Engineering
++ $1,600 SSR Gun Metal Grey aluminum racing rims
++ $275 JVC Bluetooth Deck wired into OEM Bose Speakers
++ $200 Chrome double hoop roll bar
++ High performance clutch, engine bay strut bar, & billet (parking brake, shift knob/set, gas-fill)

A simple roll-up of just the major value add enhancements (not including installation) is:
$6,422

Kelly Blue Book for this Mazda without aforementioned enhancements is $7,197

Asking price: $8,500

This vehicle has the OEM ECU allowing it to pass smog and emissions without any issue whatsoever. The S1 Turbo brings just the right amount of power and daily driving characteristics that BEGI is known for. The stock Miata comes with 142 HP and the S1 in its current conservative configuration adds another 50 HP (or 35%) bringing this little roadster to life. I have never found the need, but according to Bell Engineering, the S1 turbo is capable of producing 230 – 280 HP with an upgraded ECU. See the link below for details. The build out for this car was done by Bell Engineering in central Texas. This car has spent its life in Austin Texas until our recent move to the Memphis TN area.

This car has 2 flaws and is otherwise impeccable. The flaws are:

1. A small tear in the convertible top at the bottom right hand corner of rear window (see pics).
2. A small tear in the passenger seat also shown in the pics.

Outside of the two aforementioned flaws, this is an amazing roadster - one that has never seen abuse and is very well cared for. Our growing family and newly adopted Mastiff requires for me to part with this fine Mazda. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.

2015 Mazda3 interior spied for the first time

Wed, 08 May 2013

In terms of exterior appearance, not much has changed from the last time we spotted the next-generation Mazda3 out testing. Oh, sure - we can see plenty of details that clearly show the new Kodo design influence (that front end reminds us a whole lot of the sleek new Mazda6), but these latest round of spy shots don't really show us anything we haven't seen before. Oh, wait, yes they do - the interior.
Feast your eyes on the Mazda3's insides, showing a vastly reworked interior that also takes cues from the automaker's most recently refreshed products. We can see that there's a simple, clean center stack with a slim row of heating and cooling functions, and up top there's a large, presumably touchscreen display, with redundant controls found just aft of the shifter.
We expect that the 2015 Mazda3 will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, packing both petrol and diesel engines. A sedan variant is also in the works, and should debut shortly after the hatchback.

Mazda going back to oval grille with next MX-5 Miata

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The original Mazda MX-5 Miata was distinguished by an oval grille - a design trait that gradually evolved into the smiling cat face on the latest model. But Mazda, according to the latest intel, is planning on returning to that oval grille with the new model in the works.
The revised grille will cap a slightly longer form than models past, while still keeping weight down to a minimum. The stretched wheelbase was reportedly adopted in order to meet the requirements of Alfa Romeo, which is jointly developing the new platform together with Mazda for use on a new roadster of its own.
The new Miata is expected to adopt the 1.5-liter Skyactiv four found in the Mazda3, albeit returned to rev higher and deliver more power and torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic. The Alfa version, meanwhile, is expected to use a 1.4-liter turbo four with a dual-clutch transmission. Sources anticipate the new MX-5 to debut first, possibly at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show a little less than a year from now.
