One smoke free owner, not modified in any way, and well taken care of. For those not familiar with the R3 version, it only came with a 6 speed manual, and no real options. It is the "race" edition if you will that Mazda made for a couple of years only. Limited slip differential, sleek side sill extensions and rear wing spoiler, aggressively sculpted front end, Special 19" forged alloy wheels, special colors, high performance suspension with special Bilstein shocks, special high bolstered Recaro front bucket seats with leather and mesh, Bose 9 speaker center-point surround sound stereo system, key-less entry and start system, hands-free Bluetooth, Xenon headlights, fog lights, 6 CD changer, door edge guards. I don't know this for sure, but the R3 may also have a different exhaust system than the standard RX-8 as it had a meatier sound to me than most other RX-8s I hear.

Yokohama 560 treadwear tires with about 15k miles on them. Still plenty of tread left. The only service performed besides oil changes every 5K miles was having the dealer replace a bad TPMS sensor about 4k miles ago. No other issues. Comes with a car cover.

CarFax is available on request. It was in an accident when it was a year old and it was pretty much what I would call cosmetic damage (no structural or frame damage), but the prices of parts nowadays is outrageous! They replaced the hood (minimal damage to one corner but it is aluminum and was replaced), front bumper cover, right fender (less damage than the hood, but slightly bowed and it did not fit flush anymore), right headlight (broken), right fog light (broken), and right oil cooler (mounting bracket bent). I drove the car home with no issues, the only car able to drive away from the 3 car accident. Total repair bill was $9500 with $5,800 of that in parts. I am not trying to hide anything, I want to be very transparent. It doesn't benefit me to hide anything. Everything works perfectly and the car has no issues. Drives great!

See the window sticker picture for a complete list of standard features and options.
There is a lienholder on this car, as I still owe on it.

As on 12/1/13, NADA Clean retail is at $18,950, Edmunds says $19,157. I am asking $19,000.

I love this car and it is a blast to drive and it gets so many comments because of it's color (especially at night), sexy looks, and unique sound. I am selling as I want something that is more practical.

I am also listing this car locally and reserve the right to end this auction early.

Mazda3 sedan revealed by Top Gear Russia [w/poll]

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Thanks to our comrades at Top Gear Russia, the trickling reveal of the Mazda3 sedan has begun. We saw the hatch in person in New York (and loved it), and we wanted to see if the trunked version could hold onto the same mojo. If you like the Mazda6, then you should like the Mazda3 because it takes just about everything from its toothsome big brother and shrinks it into a compact package.
Top Gear Russia was allowed to share photographs of the Mazda sedan they call "Treshka" (or they leaked them, depending on whom you talk to), but not their drive impressions. The site page says it will come in four trims for the Russian market - Drive, Active, Active+ and Supreme - and offer three engines. Our specifications will certainly differ. Other than that, all we have to go on are the looks, which some may argue are even better than the hatch thanks to a trunk line that provides more balance to that long hood up front.
The Mazda3 will go on sale later this year and US prices should be announced in September. For the time being, content yourself with the gallery of high-res images above.

Marchionne now considering 'Plan B' partners for FCA merger

Thu, Jun 11 2015

Okay Sergio, just stop. With the sting of rejection from General Motors CEO Mary Barra still fresh, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne is moving on and trying to find another automaker to merge with. FCA may not be giving up hope on a merger with GM, but that doesn't mean it isn't at least considering alternatives. Sergio's so-called "Plan Bs" include the Volkswagen Group, as well as smaller Asian outfits, like Mazda, Honda, Suzuki, and Hyundai. Bloomberg reports that France's beleaguered PSA Peugeot Citroen could as a sort of "fallback" option due to its relative lack of volume, an unidentified source claimed. There are, of course, problems with each option. According to Bloomberg, Volkswagen expects complete control of a company, but the Agnelli family, which holds a large portion of FCA stock, is loathe to relinquish its stake in the company. On top of that, VAG just isn't looking to make a deal right now. Mazda, meanwhile, is enjoying a new partnership with Toyota and Suzuki is partially owned by VW. Honda and Hyundai have never expressed any interest in a partnership with a western automaker. That kind of just leaves the French then, but even that remains a long shot. As Bloomberg tells it, PSA boss Carlos Tavares is still working on a turn-around plan, and would want at least another six months to execute before even considering a deal with FCA. And even then, Tavares hasn't given any indication that he's considering a pairing.

Why the 38-mpg 2014 Mazda6 is on dealer lots, but you can't drive it

Fri, 21 Dec 2012

If you stop by your local Mazda dealer this month, with any luck, you'll see the much-anticipated 2014 Mazda6 parked in the showroom - there are already a few hundred of them out there. That's quite an accomplishment in light of the fact that it isn't even calendar year 2013. The move is part of a strategic decision by the Japanese automaker, which is hoping to capitalize on holiday showroom traffic. (The last five days of the year are typically among the busiest dealer days all year).
If you happen to spy the rakish sedan, you may notice something missing - a window sticker. That's because Mazda (like other automakers) can't legally display the Monroney on a 2014 model year vehicle until January 1, 2013. According to Autoblog sources, Mazda dealers are legally prohibited from letting you test drive until the start of 2013, so it's more of a sneak preview than anything else. Even so, we reckon shoppers will be impressed when they finally get a look at those window stickers - Mazda hasn't announced fuel economy figures yet, but Autoblog has learned that the 2014 model will carry a pair of impressive numbers: EPA estimates of 27 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway using regular gas.
