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.

2019 Mazda CX-9 improves its IIHS rating to Top Safety Pick +
Tue, Oct 8 2019The 2019 Mazda CX-9 three-row crossover has managed to improve its overall safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety from an already respectable Top Safety Pick to the higher Top Safety Pick +. The area it needed to improve was in the headlight department, and now the crossover features a set of headlights that gets the highest "Good" rating, a prerequisite for the Top Safety Pick + award. The headlight improvement does have caveats. The top-rated headlights are only available on Signature and Grand Touring trims built after June 2019. Headlights on other trims and older models range from "Poor" to "Acceptable." All versions of the CX-9 have top scores in crash tests, though. Mazda's optional forward collision prevention system also earns full marks, stopping the crossover before hitting a car at speeds up to 25 mph. Child seat LATCH anchor access is rated as "Acceptable." Four other similarly sized and priced crossovers earn the Top Safety Pick + designation: the Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Santa Fe, Subaru Ascent and Kia Telluride. And of those, only the Pallisade, Ascent and Telluride offer three rows of seating.
Super-rare Mazda MX-5 Miata coupe pops up for sale
Wed, Feb 13 2019It's somehow fascinating that one of the most interesting developments of Mazda's MX-5 Miata roadster is the one that isn't a roadster at all. Unlike the NC and ND generations with retractable power hardtops, the second-generation NB Miata got a special coupe version with a fixed roof, done in the style of the first-generation coupe concept. We're talking very limited production numbers: just 179 of these NB coupes were made, and they were all Japanese-market models, so it's not often that one comes up for sale. Except now. Itself even more of a limited-edition car, this sportier Type S version residing in Hong Kong and advertised on Pistonheads is one of just 63 made. It's right-hand-drive, as both its Japanese market origins and Hong Kong regulations dictate, and out of the available engine variations it comes with the 1840cc unit and a six-speed manual gearbox. What's more, despite its low 30,000 miles, the 2004 fixed-roof Miata is said to be fully overhauled and restored to as-new condition. We can't imagine those coupe-specific parts such as glass and trim are easy to source, so with these extremely rare cars it's probably best to go with the best condition example you can find, if you can find one to begin with. Rust hits all old Miatas at some point. With that backdrop, the GBP30,000 ($38,700) asking price doesn't seem all that unreasonable. With the Miata's enormous enthusiast base, there are now aftermarket solutions that imitate the flowing lines of the rare factory coupe, but they do lack the strengthening that Mazda's specialty skunkworks shop put in these — and the body-stiffening roof adds a mere 22 pounds to the car's dainty overall weight. For some lucky Miata hobbyist, this particular red coupe might be the crown jewel of their roadster collection. Related Video:
