90 Miata Red/silver 5 Speed Extraordinary Example Rust Free Florida!! on 2040-cars
Plant City, Florida, United States
Exceedingly nice example of an early Miata. Runs and drives properly, freezing AC, "makes it's own gas". Tasteful repaint in red over silver. 205/40/17's Good seats and doorpanels - Top appears new. Dash excellent - Carpets have the "fake" plastic mats Stereo I cannot identify: says iPLUG XDMA690 CD Reciever Media Player 200W - sounds fine to me - Plug in glovebox looks like MP3 player input - extra RCA's and plug in trunk Starts, steers, shifts and stops correctly. The oversize wheels and tires do not detract from the drive like I thought they might. I put a couple hundred miles on it already. Reminds me of my old MG days without the problems. Miata's are all "J" VIN cars, made in Japan as in "made well". Rust free. I took pictures of the underside, the bottoms of the doors and down in the recesses of the engine bay. The Carfax shows a lot of inspections in March and April in NY? Maybe they kept the car there and used it summers or maybe they kept it here and drove it up in the spring? I took some of the pictures where I washed the car - not leaks My theory of internet auto selling: I sell every car as if the person is going to come and get it, even though a great many people have it shipped to them. Anyway the principle is this: If I describe the car as being better than it is and you come here, what have I accomplished? I have an irate person who is right here, took time off, traveled a distance etc. Never happens if you take the time to read what I wrote and/or CALL me on the phone. Great Miata for the money here. FAULTS: In so far as I can determine...... Some chips here and there - A couple of fairly bad touch up's (done by me) - Hood pull handle loose (works fine though) - Split in the seam at the top of the passenger seat - Typical Miata tappet noise at warm start up (I go through a lot of these cars and they all seem to do it, I am driving it everyday, if it goes away I will edit this out) I put in a couple pictures of a "born without air", somewhat funky, 97 Miata I have as well. $2500. Runs great and would be a good starting point for a race car. Look at the pictures (50+) and CALL me - He who CALLS first gets the car bought..... 863-852-6315 We do our own shipping door to door, email for a quote sunautogroup@aol.com I have been in the car business over forty (sheesh!) years, and at this location for ten. |

2015 Mazda3 finally pairs 6-speed manual with larger engine
Mon, 15 Sep 2014With all of the hype and anticipation surrounding the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Japanese brand was able to sneak another driver-oriented model into its lineup. The company's spec page for the 2015 Mazda3 hatchback and sedan have been updated to list the Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder as finally being available with a six-speed manual transmission, in addition to the previous six-speed automatic. The automaker had promised the row-your-own gearbox with the bigger engine back when it first announced the new Mazda3, but it waited a model year to actually put the combo on sale.
According to Mazda's specs, the manual gearbox trims 40 pounds off of a hatchback or 54 pounds off of a sedan in s Touring and s Grand Touring trims. However, shedding that weight doesn't necessarily boost fuel economy. The six-speed hatch is rated at 26 miles per gallon city and 35 mpg highway, compared to 27/37 for the automatic. The manual sedan is rated at 25/37 city/highway mpg, versus 28/39 with the auto. Buyers can save a little money by opting for the manual, though. Regardless of body style, it's about $1,050 cheaper than the automatic.
Autoblog reached out to Mazda and learned that the 2.5L 6MT models started hitting dealers in August. The 2.5 wasn't initially available with the stick because, "We had to prioritize engineering resources and the 2.5L 6MT was not a high priority combination. Globally, smaller engines are preferred in terms of sales," a Mazda spokesperson explained via email. The automaker also notes that Austrailia will probably be the only other market outside of North America to get the six-speed gearbox with the larger engine.
Mazda struggles to meet demand on rising sales
Mon, 23 Sep 2013
For Mazda there's good and not-so-good news on the heels of strong US sales in 2012: demand is high - especially for the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - but supply is low, TheDetroitBureau.com reports. That's partly because all Mazda production happens in Japan, since it ended its alliance with Ford and pulled out of a joint venture with the blue oval building cars in suburban Detroit last year.
In 2012, Mazda sales here jumped 26.4 percent, but 2013 sales through August have just been keeping pace with the overall US auto industry, increasing at a rate of 6.8 percent. Mazda North American Operations director of marketing and communications Jeremy Barnes says that sales have slowed because the company is facing challenges delivering products here.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
