Lava Orange 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata GT

Mazdaspeed Miata (MSM). This car was built on Wednesday, August 18, 2004, the 117th 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata. It is a GT model. That means it has leather seats with silver stitching, and a cloth (not vinyl) convertible top. It is completely original and has no modifications.

Mechanical condition: Excellent. This car has been well maintained. I have service records from Mazda. Everything on this car works including ice-cold A/C, Bose CD changer.

Cosmetic condition: Excellent. There are no door dings or scratches in the paint. The interior looks brand new. So does the engine compartment and inside the trunk. There are no chips or scratches in the windshield.

No damage or paint work. Clean Carfax. Clear title.

Issues: The wheels have scrapes from scraping curbs but no major damage. The paint has water spots in some areas that are visible in the right lighting conditions. My friends say these can be removed with a buffer.

Recent maintenance: The following maintenance has been performed in 2013 and less than 500 miles ago: New tires (Toyo Extensa HP 205/40-17), oil and filter change, wiper blades, A/C and alternator belts replaced, air filter replaced, new, correct battery (Marathon AGM), "bog solenoid" cleaned and lubricated, rear brakes adjusted, transmission gear oil replaced (Motorcraft full synthetic), differential gear oil replaced (Redline 75W-90), roll-up window channels cleaned and lubricated (Shin-Etsu grease), brake fluid flushed and replaced, clutch fluid flushed and replaced, coolant flushed and replaced, upper and lower shift boots replaced.

Included with car: Sale includes a color-matching hardtop which has a rear defroster and a headliner. It also includes one original soft top ("tonneau") cover, which is like new and is shown in photos. Also includes one extra cover which is installed under the hard top to protect the cloth top. Car comes with two original "switchblade" type keys. Original factory wheel locks are included too. Also includes owner's manual.

How rare is this car? The MSM was only built in two model years, 2004 and 2005. A total of only 5428 were built. Only 1428 2005 models were built. Lava Orange was only available in 2005. Only 394 Lava Orange cars were built, making it the rarest color of MSM.

Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.

Mazda Miata celebrates 25 years of rocking our worlds

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

For its birthday it hasn't been profiled on 60 Minutes or been to Jay Leno's Garage, doesn't go on a retrospective tour of vintage racetracks or get a special Spyder Zagato edition. That doesn't mean we think any less of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the roadster with a simplicity that was as enjoyable as it was barely believable when it arrived in 1989. A quarter of a century and three generations later, the Miata remains the go-to roadster when you want easy, balanced and economical thrills.
It grew from a 116-horsepower speedster with a five-speed manual transmission and a curb weight of 2,116 pounds, to a 167-hp go-kart with a five-speed manual coming in at 2,480 pounds (in Sport guise). Along the way it's picked up hundreds of awards, including 14 nods on Car and Driver's "10Best" list, its most recent eight-year streak coming to an end last year, the Guinness Book of World Records title as "Best-Selling Two-Seater Sports Car" and innumerable trophies as weekend racer extraordinaire.
We'll see the fourth generation at next year's Chicago Auto Show, and we're certain to hear more about its 25-year milestone this year. Until that happens, enjoy the images above and the gallery and press release below.

Why you absolutely need to take your Miata to a track

Wed, Nov 23 2016

Our long-term 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata entertained us all summer, but we couldn't let the good weather pass without taking a trip to a race track. So we headed to GingerMan Raceway on the other side of Michigan to give it some exercise. It's there that I fell deeper in love with our little silver-white Club and immediately regretted not taking it to the track every single weekend prior. I make a very simple case in the video above: Miatas belong on the track. They're made for it, especially our ND Club, the most track-friendly version Mazda currently makes. The Miata is also a wonderful tool for those learning to drive in these conditions. It gives you good feedback, there isn't too much power available, but the engine's output is plenty to make things entertaining. It's also one of the more balanced performance cars you can buy today and doesn't rely on fancy electronics to go faster – it's a nearly direct connection between you and the car, with no weird intermediaries or adjustable elements. This is really the simplest form of fun. To sum up: If you have a Miata, take it to a track. If you don't have a Miata, go buy one. Watch the video again if you're not convinced. Related Video:
