2005 Mazda Miata Base Convertible 2-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
|
********** 2005 MAZDA MIATA MX-5 ********** THE SLICK COCKPIT OF THE MAZDA MIATA IS PACKED WITH EYE-CATCHING AMENITIES, INCLUDING RED-GLOW ALUMINUM GAUGES, WELL-BOLSTERED BUCKET SEATS, A SHORT-THROW SHIFTER AND A THREE-SPOKE LEATHER-WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL. SILVER-FINISHED INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, AIR VENT BEZELS, CENTER PANEL AND GAUGE RINGS ENHANCE MIATA’S SPORTY YET SOPHISTICATED LOOK. MIATA’S ZOOM-ZOOM PERSONA SHINES THROUGH FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. BOASTING A HIGHLY RESPONSIVE 1.8-LITER, 142-HORSEPOWER ENGINE (AT 7000 RPM), MIATA IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FUN CAR TO DRIVE. THE 16-VALVE, FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE USES VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VTT) TO MAXIMIZE LOW-END TORQUE AND HIGH-END POWER, GENERATING THE GET-UP-AND-GO ACCELERATION ENJOYED DURING DAILY DRIVING AND WORSHIPED ON THE RACETRACK. IN AN EFFORT TO BUILD THE BEST-HANDLING ROADSTER ON THE MARKET, MAZDA DESIGNERS CONSTRUCTED MIATA WITH A LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY AND SPREAD THE CAR’S WEIGHT EVENLY OVER THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS FOR PERFECT 50/50 WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION. DUE TO AN INHERENT LACK OF STRUCTURAL STIFFNESS IN CONVERTIBLES (THE STEEL ROOF STRUCTURE OF A COUPE CONTRIBUTES AS MUCH AS 40 PERCENT OF THE CAR’S CHASSIS STIFFNESS), MAZDA’S ENGINEERS ADDED AN INTEGRATED POWERPLANT FRAME TO THE CHASSIS, LOCKING THE TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL TOGETHER AND MINIMIZING TWISTING AND MOVEMENT IN RELATION TO THE ENGINE AND FRAME. THEY ALSO DESIGNED BRACES TO FULLY TIE THE FONT AND REAR SUSPENSION TO THE CHASSIS, AND BRACE ACROSS THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT TO FURTHER REDUCE BODY FLEX. THE RESULT IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY RIGID CHASSIS/BODY COMBINATION THAT DELIVERS PURE DRIVING ENJOYMENT BECAUSE IT IS SO FORGIVING AND PREDICTABLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A REBUILT TITLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED AT A NEW MAZDA DEALER DURING A STORM. THERE WAS DAMAGE INFLICTED DURING THE STORM IN THE WAY OF A BROKEN WINDOW. A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND THUS WAS CLAIMED AS A LOSS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN DRIVEN FOR OVER 18,000 MILES WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. CLOSE INSPECTION WILL REVEAL THAT THERE WAS NO PERMANENT WATER DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE. ANY POTENTIAL BUYER IS WELCOME TO AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION TO VERIFY THE CONDITION. TRANSPORTATION CAN BE PROVIDED FROM SW FLORIDA/ FT. MYERS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. WE CAN ALSO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN SHIPPING THE VEHICLE ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

Mazda refurbishing this NFL running back's 22-year-old daily driver
Thu, 10 Oct 2013I don't actually care for the Washington Redskins (which is a good thing, considering the start to their season this year), but I love their running back, Alfred Morris. Why? Well, to start with, Morris helped deliver a dominating 10-3 season for my fantasy football team last year after a flash of prescience saw me pick him up off the waiver wire in Week 1 (hit me up on Twitter if you need fantasy sports insight, guys, I'm sort of like the Ruxin of Autoblog).
Morris is also pretty endearing because of his loyalty to his car, Bentley. Hold up - that's not to say the running back has splashed out on a Continental GT or a Flying Spur. No, Morris gave his much-loved 1991 Mazda 626 the tongue-in-cheek name "Bentley" while he was still a student at Florida Atlantic. One 1,613-rushing-yard rookie season and a $2.2-million contract later, and Morris is still using his Mazda as his daily driver. It might be easy to assume that the young player is simply being really prudent with all of his newfound wealth, but the guy really just has a thing for his five-speed-manual 626.
And Mazda, of course, loves the story of Morris' affection. In an effort to keep his 626 running strong and looking good, the company's Washington D.C.-area dealers have agreed to refurbish Bentley back to its original showroom freshness. Rather than spoil the classic (?) lines of the 626, the Mazda folks are essentially restoring the car for Morris. The cracked dash will be swapped out for a factory replacement, the engine and transmission given a thorough going-over and the whole vehicle generally made as fresh as Will Smith circa 1991. Bentley is expected to be completed and rolling through the capitol city by October 15, and in the meantime, Morris has been driving around in a new 2014 Mazda6 loaner car.
Mazda Hazumi concept presages next Mazda2
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Looks like Mazda's big Geneva Motor Show debut is actually something quite small. Teased here, the Hazumi concept "points the way to the future" for the brand's subcompact offering, the Mazda2. Details are slim as of this writing, but from what we can see in the image above, the Hazumi will use the same Kodo design language found on the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5. We're big fans of this styling direction, so we fully expect the concept to be quite an attractive little number.
Hazumi means "bound" or "spring up" in Japanese, with Mazda saying this nomenclature is "particularly well-suited to a small car that appears to be bursting with energy." In other words, say goodbye to the friendly faced Mazda2 we've enjoyed since it launched in the United States in 2010. Instead, prepare for something decidedly more assertive, hopefully improving upon the already-great driving dynamics of the current subcompact. If we're honest, we can't wait.
Mazda will also use the Geneva show to debut its new small-displacement, 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine. The automaker hasn't confirmed that this new fuel-efficient powerplant will be part of the Hazumi concept package, but considering the two are debuting alongside each other, it would seem to make sense. As for whether or not this engine could come stateside when the next Mazda2 launches, we're not holding our breath for that, especially considering the company's current woes with US-spec diesel engines.
Mazda and Clemson collaborate on Deep Orange 3 concept
Wed, 07 Aug 2013There are school projects, and then there's the Mazda Deep Orange 3 Concept Car, a one-off built by Clemson University automotive engineering students and designed by Frederick Naaman from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Clemson students unveiled the chassis at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, although this is the first showing of the car fully clothed.
Sporting a unique hybrid powertrain that can automatically switch between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive. A gas-powered engine handles the fronts, while the rears are powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. The Deep Orange 3 also has an unusual three-plus-three layout, making it a much cooler version of your parent's old Vista Cruiser. The exterior sheetmetal clearly follows Mazda's established design language, and looks like it could easily pass for a five-door version of the Shinari Concept. It really is a great looking vehicle.
The Deep Orange 3 was part of Clemson's graduate-level auto engineering program, and is a regular partnership between the east coast school and the Pasadena-based design college's students. Clemson, Art Center and Mazda will be showing the Deep Orange 3 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, from August 5 to August 8.
