2005 Mazda Miata Base Convertible 2-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
********** 2005 MAZDA MIATA MX-5 ********** THE SLICK COCKPIT OF THE MAZDA MIATA IS PACKED WITH EYE-CATCHING AMENITIES, INCLUDING RED-GLOW ALUMINUM GAUGES, WELL-BOLSTERED BUCKET SEATS, A SHORT-THROW SHIFTER AND A THREE-SPOKE LEATHER-WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL. SILVER-FINISHED INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, AIR VENT BEZELS, CENTER PANEL AND GAUGE RINGS ENHANCE MIATA’S SPORTY YET SOPHISTICATED LOOK. MIATA’S ZOOM-ZOOM PERSONA SHINES THROUGH FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. BOASTING A HIGHLY RESPONSIVE 1.8-LITER, 142-HORSEPOWER ENGINE (AT 7000 RPM), MIATA IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FUN CAR TO DRIVE. THE 16-VALVE, FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE USES VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VTT) TO MAXIMIZE LOW-END TORQUE AND HIGH-END POWER, GENERATING THE GET-UP-AND-GO ACCELERATION ENJOYED DURING DAILY DRIVING AND WORSHIPED ON THE RACETRACK. IN AN EFFORT TO BUILD THE BEST-HANDLING ROADSTER ON THE MARKET, MAZDA DESIGNERS CONSTRUCTED MIATA WITH A LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY AND SPREAD THE CAR’S WEIGHT EVENLY OVER THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS FOR PERFECT 50/50 WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION. DUE TO AN INHERENT LACK OF STRUCTURAL STIFFNESS IN CONVERTIBLES (THE STEEL ROOF STRUCTURE OF A COUPE CONTRIBUTES AS MUCH AS 40 PERCENT OF THE CAR’S CHASSIS STIFFNESS), MAZDA’S ENGINEERS ADDED AN INTEGRATED POWERPLANT FRAME TO THE CHASSIS, LOCKING THE TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL TOGETHER AND MINIMIZING TWISTING AND MOVEMENT IN RELATION TO THE ENGINE AND FRAME. THEY ALSO DESIGNED BRACES TO FULLY TIE THE FONT AND REAR SUSPENSION TO THE CHASSIS, AND BRACE ACROSS THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT TO FURTHER REDUCE BODY FLEX. THE RESULT IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY RIGID CHASSIS/BODY COMBINATION THAT DELIVERS PURE DRIVING ENJOYMENT BECAUSE IT IS SO FORGIVING AND PREDICTABLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A REBUILT TITLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED AT A NEW MAZDA DEALER DURING A STORM. THERE WAS DAMAGE INFLICTED DURING THE STORM IN THE WAY OF A BROKEN WINDOW. A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND THUS WAS CLAIMED AS A LOSS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN DRIVEN FOR OVER 18,000 MILES WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. CLOSE INSPECTION WILL REVEAL THAT THERE WAS NO PERMANENT WATER DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE. ANY POTENTIAL BUYER IS WELCOME TO AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION TO VERIFY THE CONDITION. TRANSPORTATION CAN BE PROVIDED FROM SW FLORIDA/ FT. MYERS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. WE CAN ALSO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN SHIPPING THE VEHICLE ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

The spirit of these 7 weird Mazdas lives on in today's cars
Wed, Oct 31 2018HIROSHIMA, Japan — When visiting the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima, housed amidst the company's main manufacturing site on the shore of the Enko River, you can follow Jujiro Matsuda's early 20th century entrepreneurial path from artificial cork manufacturer to machine and machine toolmaker, to motor vehicle producer. But probe a bit deeper into the exhibits, and you can uncover more than just a chronicle of corporate achievements: delightfully weird outliers, paragons of oddball design, engineering and marketing solutions It's looking at these delightful misfits that really illustrates Mazda's tale. You can also see precisely how many of these vintage conveyances led directly (or indirectly, or obtusely) to Mazda's most iconic American-market cars and trucks. Our seven favorite precursors, and their lovable successors, are listed below. 1931 Type TCS/Mazda B-Series Mazda's first vehicle was this little three-wheeler, powered by an air-cooled, one-cylinder motor. Because the company lacked a distribution network at the time, the trucklet was marketed by Mitsubishi; hence the three-diamond pattern on its side. All of this is very reminiscent of the company's eventual foray into the U.S. market, where its sales were spearheaded by compact pickups. The B-Series, which was one of the first Mazda vehicles available in the U.S., arrived in 1972, and stuck around through the first decade of the 21st century. Like its partnership with Mitsubishi, Mazda teamed up with stakeholder Ford to market this little truck as Ford's first small pickup, the Courier, the precursor to the Ranger. There was even a rotary-powered B-Series for a few years, but we're getting ahead of ourselves. 1968 Bongo Van/Mazda5 The Bongo allegedly was the first one-box van design in Japan, and apparently it was so popular that the name Bongo became, for a period of time, the generic metonym for the category—the way that Kleenex is a stand-in for all facial tissue. With a tiny rear-mounted engine and a planar expanse of metal to push around, it was not particularly fast, but it was both spacious and innovative. The same could be said of the brand's mini-minivan, the Mazda5, which was available for a couple of generations in the States in the Aughties. Sadly, the name 5 never caught on as a synonym for fun-to-drive family hauler, at least not yet, and the category itself (like nearly every other car category) was crushed in America by the rise of the crossover.
2017 Mazda Model Year Preview and Updates
Wed, Mar 1 2017Driving Matters, Mazda's marketing pitch, certainly resonates with enthusiasts, although may not be relevant with the increasing number of drivers engaged in texting while steering. Regardless of that disconnect, for drivers Mazda brings to market the long-awaited Miata coupe in Retractable Fastback (RF) form, pictured above. And for those wanting/needing a new crossover, Mazda redesigns its well-received CX-5. MAZDA3: Mazda's compact sedan and hatch receive a revised front end and tweaked rear. Inside, an upgraded interior with more storage space, improved sound proofing and materials round out the enhancements. On the road, all trim levels receive Mazda's G-Vectoring Control for enhanced handling and stability. MAZDA6: G-Vectoring Control is standard across all trims. Inside, improved sound insulation, new tech (including traffic sign recognition), and available Nappa leather takes an already upscale environment a few steps further into near-luxury. MAZDA MX-5 MIATA: The RF (Retractable Fastback) is the biggest news, as it serves as the answer to the long-awaited Miata coupe. Club models receive Blind Spot Monitoring and Cross-Traffic Alert – presumably helpful when the top is up. And the RF Launch Edition (1,000 examples) delivers a Nappa leather interior and hand-painted black top. The package is further embellished by Mazda's choice of Machine Gray metallic exterior color. MAZDA CX-3: Mazda's subcompact crossover receives minor updates. The Touring trim gets 18-inch alloy wheels, while the upmarket Grand Touring's available i-ACTIVSENSE is reduced in price. MAZDA CX-5: Mazda's compact crossover is all-new and on Mazda showrooms this spring as a 2017 model. Of particular interest to diesel fans is the introduction later in the year of Mazda's SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel, which arrives just in time for your Volkswagen buyback. MAZDA CX-9: Mazda's largest crossover is unchanged for 2017.
Mazda CX-3 crossover coming to LA
Tue, 28 Oct 2014The Mazda booth at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will showcase some new crossovers. In addition to the refreshed CX-5 that we're expecting, the Japanese automaker has announced plans to unveil its new CX-3 compact crossover.
According to Mazda, the brand's entry into the compact CUV market will feature "the full range of SKYACTIV technology and KODO - Soul of Motion design." We take that to mean lightweight chassis and body architectures along with fuel-sipping gasoline and, perhaps, diesel engines.
The CX-3 will have to take on a slew of upcoming competitors, including the Honda HR-V, Chevrolet Trax and Jeep Renegade, and reports indicate it will share a platform with the Mazda2, which is just starting production in Mexico. We don't yet know if it will be front-wheel drive only or if all-wheel drive will be optional. The CUV is also likely to share the Mazda2's engine, which isn't yet revealed for the North American market. Japan gets the 2 with either a 1.3-liter gasoline engine or a 1.5-liter diesel.
