Black, leather, convertible soft top. Automatic. 150000 miles. Clear title.
Great car, second owner, needs work as follows:
Right front wheel squeeks (new hub/bearing assembly needed)
Trunk leaks badly (not sure of cause)
Occassional clutch noise when going into reverse.
Radio isn't hitting on much (rarely works), antenna does not operate up/down. Power windows work, but a little slow.

Minor valve ticking, but this is normal for older miatas.
Leather seats have much wear, especially driver (tear).
Right side headlight works, but shows signs of adjustment needed (a little weak opening, and not 100% open)
A/C is not cooling, but compressor seems to be ok (probably a minor repair, but not sure).
Back window faded, and difficult to see clearly.
Top has some seams needing repair.
Normal dings, nothing major.
Some oil leakage, not sure from where (does cause a slight burn smell when hot).
The GOOD: Car runs, and runs good. State inspection is current, but will soon need renewal. Very good tires. Paint still has good shine. Garaged.

Cleared electronic payment, or cash only. If cash, must transact at local bank for verification of cash. No checks, cashiers checks, money orders.

Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata firsthand impressions and notebook scribblings

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

In a temporarily repurposed airport hanger in Monterey, CA, the world caught its first glimpse of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata tonight, and I was fortunate enough to attend in person along with my fellow auto media colleagues, Mazda execs, a couple hundred Miata devotees and, oddly, a fair number of Duran Duran fans. The klieg lights have dimmed, Simon Le Bon is no longer ringing in my ears, and I'm left to ponder what I've seen. I've scavenged my notes - and my Twitter feed - to give you some details and brief thoughts.
Fair Warning: I can't claim to be completely impartial (I own a second-generation NB and consider the Miata franchise to be one of but a few sacrosanct franchises in modern motoring), but I will share my honest first impressions of the new car, both good and bad.
Here are my notes:

Top Gear recounts the fiery demise of the Mazda Furai

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

This past September we reported on Top Gear's destruction of the Mazda Furai, one of the finest concept cars to ever grace an auto show stage. It turns out that the Furai, which was burned nearly beyond recognition at the hands of the British magazine, was actually destroyed back in 2008, and that the entire thing had been covered up for five long years.
Now, a few months after publishing that heart-wrenching composite of a half-baked Furai (shown above), the lads at TG have published their account of just what resulted in a priceless concept car being transformed into a smoking hulk on a Suffolk runway. Click over to read the full story about just what happened, along with pictures of the Furai before, during and after the inferno.
