Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

If you don't know too much about cars with rotary engines, I would be happy to help out with answers (or rx8club is a great resource and has excellent guides that I used back when I was looking for an RX-8).
This is a super clean example of a dependable stock series 1 with ZERO issues! As far as options, the car has Brown/Black two tone leather, power sunroof w/shade, power/heated seat, professionally installed aux jack for your iPhone/Droid/etc, keyless entry with the 'credit card' key that fits in your wallet, and all the appearance package goodies. This car is in immaculate condition and would easily be in the "excellent" condition category on KBB. (Blue Book value $9700!) The engine is original and was last compression tested in 2010 at a dealership and passed with flying colors, and it is running perfectly today. Mazda had some issues/recalls with the RX-8 in 04 and a couple in 05, but they figured it all out by the 06 model year (This is why you'll find a bunch of 04's for sale on craigslist). It was inspected two weeks ago by a reputable mechanic and there were no issues at all. Since I got the car, the only work that needed to be done was the clutch slave cylinder was replaced (and the brake master cylinder along with it). Oil changed religiously every 2.5k miles, and I check the oil level every other time I drive to keep it between 3/4 and full. Tires have plenty of tread. The only issues are a small dent on the front bumper to the left of the Mazda emblem (pictured), and a tiny parking ding in the drivers side rear door (not pictured, didn't show up). Some rock chips on the bottom of the front bumper from highway driving. Wheels look great but have minor curb scuffing. Nothing noticeable from 5+ feet away. There are NO issues mechanically, everything works great! Previous owner a late-30s father of two. I have more pictures up on imgur, email me for a link. The car is in Boston right now, but I occasionally am making trips down to Philly (moving soon), so if you live somewhere along the northeast corridor and are flexible with timing I might be able to drop the car off to you! You are welcome to come see it in person and and any requests for specific additional photos will be responded to promptly! |

Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards
Tue, 26 Feb 2013A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.
2014 Mazda3 configurator zoom-zooms to life
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The 2014 Mazda3 is probably going to be on a lot of shopping lists, thanks to its striking good looks, clean interior treatment, fuel economy and driving character. If it happens to be on your personal list of new cars to test, you'll be happy to see that the configurator for Mazda's newest product has officially gone online.
In terms of build-your-own web items, configuring a 3 isn't much of a departure from the rest of the Mazda range. Most of the work comes from choosing one of the three trim levels - Sport, Touring and Grand Touring - and selecting either the 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter, Skyactiv four-cylinder or its larger sibling, the 184-horsepower, 2.5-liter, Skyactiv four. From there, a simple range of color and interior finishes are available, before a slim list of packages, options and accessories. Really, Mazda's made it easy to get through this build process.
Click on over to the configurator and take a look at the options, colors and prices for Mazda's newest five-door hatchback.
Mazda2 sedan debuting in Thailand this month?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Mazda is reportedly set to introduce a Mazda2 with a four-door sedan body. Unlike the upcoming CX-3, which is debuting at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show and is almost certain to be sold in North America, this other version's chance here are a bit more mysterious.
According to The Bangkok Post, the Mazda2 sedan will make its word debut at the Thailand International Motor Expo on November 28, and the traditional five-door hatch will be there as well. Both body styles will be built in Thailand with diesel engines and will be the first vehicles to adhere to the country's eco-car rules for oil-burners with a SkyActiv 1.5-liter diesel that will make 105 horsepower.
At this time, there's no indication whether the new sedan might also be sold in the US, but we're not holding our breath - remember, the previous Mazda2 sedan never made it Stateside, either.
