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.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata first in-car observations

Sun, 07 Sep 2014

We've had few days to digest the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata since the roadster was first revealed on Wednesday evening when we offered you our first impressions. Since that time, we've gone back and looked at the car a number of times in person here in California, and we've even seen it briefly run under its own power (okay, it was more of a saunter). What we didn't get the chance to do at the reveal, however, was sit inside the car. We've since been able to remedy that, and while we haven't been allowed to drive the new roadster, we do have some initial in-car impressions to share with you.
First, the location and feel of the major controls is quite excellent. The three-spoke steering wheel is an MX-5 specific item - it's not shared with any other Mazda. That's vital, because others would likely be too big in diameter or have the wrong rim thickness. The wheel's redundant controls seem to be well laid out and the airbag boss is very small. The column tilts, but unfortunately and somewhat inexplicably, it still doesn't telescope.
Pedals are well-spaced, and the six-speed manual has the same short throws and positive engagement that we've come to know and love.

2019 Mazda3 sedan and hatchback get IIHS Top Safety Pick awards

Thu, May 9 2019

The 2019 Mazda3 is all-new, and now we have crash test ratings from the IIHS for both the sedan and hatchback. A Top Safety Pick (not the TSP+) award was given to both variants of the compact car. Since the IIHS only rates the Mazda3 headlights as "Acceptable" and not "Good," it doesn't get the "Top Safety Pick+" rating. All the major crash categories like small overlap front, side and moderate overlap front are rated as Good. The IIHS also makes crash avoidance part of its battery of tests now to evaluate forward collision and pedestrian detection systems. Both versions of the Mazda3 offer these systems, but the IIHS points out that Mazda's "Smart Brake Support" is only standard on the hatchback. This makes the hatchback standard with a "superior-rated" crash prevention system, and only optional on the sedan. Both cars equipped with the system were able to avoid collisions at 12 mph and 25 mph in the IIHS tests. Even though the Mazda3 does come standard with LED headlight projectors, the IIHS still didn't think they were good enough for a Good rating. There is one video of the Mazda3 going through the side crash test if you'd like to watch the new sedan get hit. You can read our thoughts on the new Mazda3 here. We certainly like driving the redesigned Mazda, and it's good to know the car will perform well in a crash, too.

Super-rare Mazda MX-5 Miata coupe pops up for sale

Wed, Feb 13 2019

It'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:
