This is a 1994 Miata M-Edition with 84,000 miles. I am the 4th owner. The second owner drove it until the timing belt broke at the 83,000 mile mark then let it sit. The third owner bought it to repair, but didn't have time to, so I bought it from him. The body is perfect with absolutely no rust.

The following have been replaced:
o The Radiatior
o All radiator hoses
o Fuel Injector Harness
o Most Gaskets
o Timing Belt
o Engine Mounts
o Clutch Master Cylinder
o Clutch Slave Cylinder
o Fuel Tank (yes, the Fuel Tank)
o Starter
o Battery
o Radio
o Tires
o Vinyl Top

The air conditioning system was professionally repaired by Mazda of Wesley Chapel and is blowing cold air. The fuel injectors were removed, professionally serviced and flow tested and they are working like they're new.

Here are all the negatives:
o The leather seats are worn and need to be either covered or replaced. See picture.
o While installing the new cloth top, I inadvertantly drilled a hole through the top. I know, I was cursing myself for days. It's been patched and doesn't leak at all. I've driven the car in the rain and not one drop has come in. But, and you knew there was going to be a but, right? But, I tried to match the color of the repair to the top and I did a brutally awful job. Good thing it's small. See picture.
o The paint. I'm no paint expert, but I think it's a top (clear) coat problem. It looks like it peeled off the front fender (see picture), but the rest of the body looks good.
o Speakers - Their best days are behind them.
o Antenna - Top is broken and I believe it should retract, but it doesn't.
o Steering Wheel - is worn

Only 3,000 of these were made in 1994. According to a Miata websire, "the Mazda Miata M Edition series of vehicles are very desirable and sought after by Miata enthusiasts. Searching for a low mileage clean M Edition and finding one is to may like finding the ultimate Miata. Fairly expensive when first introduced, they can now be found priced as a regular used car, particularly if the seller has no idea what an M Edition is. Further, the well known used car resale value guides seem to somewhat under value what Miatas are actually trading hands for. Most clean Miatas will usually sell over blue book value, that's not to say you can't find one at a bargain price though. M Editions are not sequentially numbered and their VIN numbers will be scattered throughout the regular run for each year".

The 1994 M Edition was produced in Montego Blue Mica (color code M8) with tan leather interior, tan boot, and tan top. Special Features: Nardi wood shift knob and hand brake handle, polished 7 spoke alloy wheels with locks, air conditioning, stainless M Edition sill plates, M Edition custom mats, M Edition key ring/badge/lapel pin gift set, Includes all A and B package options which included: power steering, leather- wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors, alloy wheels, Torsen limited slip differential, cruise control, power windows, headrest speakers, power antenna.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata will rock 2.0L SkyActiv engine in US, 1.5L elsewhere

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Let the speculation finally end - we know what will power the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, and it's not turbocharged. The US model will get a SkyActiv 2.0-liter engine and six-speed manual, while models in the rest of the world have a 1.5-liter engine, confirming earlier rumors.
Unfortunately, Mazda isn't letting loose how much power either of these mills make just yet. For sake of comparison, the current SkyActiv 2.0 in the Mazda3 produces 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque, and the 1.5-liter in the UK (and elsewhere) has about 99 hp and 110 lb-ft of twist. However, the current Miata produces 167 hp and 140 lb-ft.
But fret not droptop fans. The company's brochure from the 2014 Paris Motor Show confirms, "all available drivetrains have been specially tuned for the all-new MX-5," which at least hints at the possibility of more performance. Also, even if the numbers remain untouched, the new Miata should feel even more sporting on the open road. That's because Mazda says the new model weighs in the neighborhood of 2,200 pounds; with that in mind, the 2016 car would boast around 14.19 pounds per horsepower versus 14.85 lb/hp in the present MX-5. Progress!

2014 Mazda6: Introduction

Thu, 30 May 2013

An Extended Stay With The Sexy Six
The new-for-2014 Mazda6 sedan is more than just a pretty face. For Mazda, it marks the company's best effort yet at competing in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment, all the while staying true to the brand's core value of offering high levels of driver involvement above all. We certainly came away impressed after our first drive of the sleek Six in France last fall, and we knew right from the start that this would be a car we'd want to spend a lot of time with back here at home.
So with that in mind, the folks at Mazda graciously agreed to loan us the fully loaded Soul Red tester you see here for a one-year stay in the Autoblog long-term garage. Because of how important this car is to the segment, and to Mazda as a brand, we know there's going to be a lot to talk about it over the next 12 months. Right now, though, allow us to introduce you to the newest member of our long-term family.

Mazda Furai concept designer talks about his car's passing

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Last week, there was mourning at the Autoblog offices as word trickled in that the Mazda Furai concept - one of the coolest, best-looking showcars to grace an auto show stage since the wild and crazy 1960s -had been killed. It was killed on the track with the folks from Top Gear in attendance. We're sure the gods of driving would have wanted it to die on a circuit, but that doesn't make its fiery passing any easier to deal with.
The Furai is the rare concept car that had a lasting appeal with enthusiasts, partly because it was a real, functioning racecar, complete with a wacky three-rotor Wankel engine and cutting-edge Nagare design. Now that it's gone, though, Road & Track's Mallory McMorrow, who was an intern at Mazda Design when the Furai was being styled in 2007, has published an interview with one of the men who penned the Mazda showcar's striking exterior, Carlos Salaff. It's a great piece on the emotional connection between a designer and his creation, and one you should take the time to read. Click on over to R&T for the full story.
