Up for auction here is a 1991 Mazda Miata convertible. Always adult driven.

The Good:

-Engine runs fine, no issues here. Starts every time, idles normally, revs smoothly. Still averaging 30-34 MPG on country roads. No smoke or weird noises.

-Transmission is working fine as well. Shifts are crisp and positive. Clutch was replaced at 104,000 miles and works great.

-Brakes are in good shape. Recent new front calipers and rotors. New brake lines to the rear about a year ago. Stops straight.

-The interior is in pretty good shape, not perfect but pretty nice for a 23-year old daily driver.

-New alternator last year.

-New battery in 2012

-New fuel pump in 2011.

The Bad:

-It's going to need a front end alignment. It veers a little to the right.

-The air conditioning will need a charge.

-The power steering is not functional. It's drive-able but takes some arm strength when going slow. The pump will need to be replaced if you don't like the workout. No fan belt noises though.

-The front tires should probably be replaced soon. One of the back tires is less than a year old and the other might be around three years old.

-The oil pressure gauge is not functional.

The Ugly:

-The headlights don't sit right in the down position so I just leave them up. Could be an easy fix, I don't know. I haven't really been bothered by it.

-While the top is in generally good condition, the back window is not. It is going to need to be replaced. Look at the pictures.

-Leather shifter boot is torn.

-It's rusty.

This has been a very dependable and fun car for over ten years. I have had very few problems with it and most of the issues are wear related. The motor has never been modified. The car has never been raced. No boyracer fast and furious nonsense. Regular oil changes with full synthetic. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I would encourage you to try and see the car before making a bid. There will be no refunds. This is a 23-year old car so know what you're bidding on. You must come and pick up the car. It is completely drive-able so no need for a trailer. But I can help you get it on a trailer if that is how you want to pick it up. I can hold the car as long as it is paid in full. Talk to me. I am quite free until October 1st. Then I get busy. Try to get the car before then. Thanks for looking!

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.

Xcar tries to figure out what makes the Miata so great

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Over the past 25 years and 3 model generations, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has shown that you don't have to be the best to be a massive success. The little, Japanese roadster has never been the absolute peak of automotive performance, but it's precise handling, good reliability and frugal running costs have helped make it a star. Autoblog recently tried to give you the experience of driving one on video, and now Xcar Films has made its own in an attempt to show what makes this droptop an icon.
As Xcar puts it, the Miata isn't the world's best sports car, but it is the world's favorite. When they were originally designing the roadster, Mazda's engineers took everything that made British droptops from the '60s great, and junked all of the stuff that made them a terror to own. The result was a car that would start up everyday with no fuss and get drivers wherever they needed to go with a huge grin on their face.
The fourth-generation Miata is imminently on the way for its September 3 unveiling, and the very early rumors indicate that Mazda doesn't plan to rock the boat too much with the latest one. It supposedly rides on a longer wheelbase and wider track but with the weight trimmed by over 200 pounds. Check out Xcar's video for a primer on MX-5 history and why the automotive world loves this little roadster.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
