Please feel free to look at my full description of the RX7, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible:
The Great:
Low Miles: 111,417 (Not typical for this Year and for the convertible model)
Brakes are year old (Brake Pads, Rotors, and one new Caliper)
Tune-Up was done less than a year ago (NKG Iridium Spark Plugs; NKG Performance Wires)
Tires: Bridgestone Potenzas (they are still in great shape, and stick so well, especially on those tight turns!)
New Battery: Three months old
Cold Air Intake
The car has been lowered.
The Rotary Engine: It's clean, pulls very well, and has been extremely reliable.
The Transmission: The shifts are great, and is a great testament to Mazda's engineering.
The Clutch: It is 2 years old, F1 RACING STAGE 3 PERFORMANCE clutch. It performs beautifully, consistently, even with high-revving.
The body is rust free.
The convertible Top is 2 years old. No tears, very clean, and durable.
I have kept up with the maintenance, especially the oil changes (I consistently used Mobil 1 synthetic oil).
I have not beat the car up during my two years of ownership.
This was my first RX7, and I loved it. I am sad to see it go, especially because it was so reliable and fun. The rotary engine is as great as its reputation. However, it is time for someone else to enjoy this great machine.
What the RX7 will need:
New mufflers
The front bumper will need fixed on the left-hand side (see picture)
A new radio

Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
Mazda struggles to meet demand on rising sales
Mon, 23 Sep 2013
For Mazda there's good and not-so-good news on the heels of strong US sales in 2012: demand is high - especially for the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - but supply is low, TheDetroitBureau.com reports. That's partly because all Mazda production happens in Japan, since it ended its alliance with Ford and pulled out of a joint venture with the blue oval building cars in suburban Detroit last year.
In 2012, Mazda sales here jumped 26.4 percent, but 2013 sales through August have just been keeping pace with the overall US auto industry, increasing at a rate of 6.8 percent. Mazda North American Operations director of marketing and communications Jeremy Barnes says that sales have slowed because the company is facing challenges delivering products here.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata a knight in white satin
Wed, 19 Nov 2014We're not going to lie to you. The reason you're seeing the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata on these pages again is solely because this is the first time we're seeing the roadster displayed in a color other than the ruby shade it was first shown in. Okay, okay, so this is the first time the Miata is being displayed at a North American auto show other than SEMA, and we'd say that this is the first time Mazda is showing a US-spec model, but clearly this is a right-hand-drive car. Either way, there's still not much to it yet, especially since Mazda is still withholding power and performance figures.
As expected, the ND Miata, as it is already known among the cognoscenti, will receive a 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder and the buyer's choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic here in the US. The 1.5-liter model engine that had been linked to the car back in the rumormill stage will not make it to our showrooms.
Preliminary specifications still show the Miata measuring just 154.1 inches in length overall, with an increased track width to 68.1 inches and a low, low overall height of 49.0 inches. Despite the larger-displacement engine and its presumably heavier weight, Mazda is still claiming ideal 50:50 weight distribution and a weight loss of over 220 pounds versus today's NC generation. All of which sounds like the Miata has the right ingredients to make good on its promised Jinba Ittai ("rider and horse as one") driving experience.
