Special "black & Tan" Edition W/hardtop - 79k Miles - No Rust - Clean Carfax on 2040-cars
Sugar Grove, Illinois, United States
|
Outstanding example of the first generation Miata - the purest variant of the model. Each year, Mazda offered special editions - this is the '92 version, called the "Black & Tan." The tan leather interior is in great shape, with just a little wear on the driver's seat and side bolster - no wear through or tears, though. Tan carpets (with original SE floor mats) in great shape - very clean with minimal wear. It includes the matching tan top (great condition) and vinyl top boot (also in great shape). The Nardi wood shift knob and parking brake handle are also original and were specific to the '92 SE model - as are the stainless steel sill plates. It is also equipped with ice-cold A/C, power windows, cruise control, and a limited slip differential. The stock radio has been replaced with an Alpine AM/FM/CD/MP3 unit with a removeable faceplate, as well as new Clearwater speakers in the doors and new OEM-style headrest speakers. The BFG tires are in great shape with lots of tread remaining. No modifications. Non-smoker - very clean inside, in the trunk, and underhood. No rust and no corrosion on the aluminum bits under the hood - see the engine photo for more detail. Includes a red HARDTOP that is not original to the car. Issues - The power antenna motor works, but the toothed cable is broken - a new antenna is included. Also, the rear window plastic is yellowed, brittle, and cracked in two places, but the window can be replaced without replacing the top - a shop local to me will do it for $100 with the rear section of the top removed. There are a few door dings and paint scratches that come with normal use, but overall the body is in excellent condition. The wheels are non-original and from a '94 Miata - the '92 SE came with BBS wheels. Has a clean CARFAX showing two prior owners before me - I've owned it for the past year. I prefer local pick-up, but will assist the winning bidder's shipper with loading for shipment to the lower 48 states only - no international buyers. Also, the winning bidder is responsible for all taxes and fees associated with shipping. Sold as-is, where is, with no warranty. A five hundred dollar ($500) deposit in the form of a certified check or cash is due within seven (7) days of the end of the auction and full payment is due upon pick-up or shipment - which must occur within fourteen (14) days of the end of the auction. Buyer is responsible for all transfer fees. |

2014 Mazda3 2.0L Hatchback officially rated at 40 mpg highway
Thu, 11 Jul 2013
The Environmental Protection Agency has spoken, and these are the miles per gallon numbers it has officially bestowed on the 2014 five-door Mazda3 hatchback with the SkyActiv-G 2.0-liter engine: 29 city, 40 highway, 33 combined when fitted with the six-speed manual; 30 city, 40 highway and 33 combined when equipped with the six-speed automatic.
Those numbers exactly match the fuel economy targets that Mazda had set for the car when optioned with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G with 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. For comparison to other cars in the segment, the EPA numbers for the 2013 Honda Civic sedan are 28 city, 39 highway, 32 combined when its 140-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with the five-speed automatic. The Hyundai Elantra GT gets 27 city, 37 highway and 30 combined according to the EPA when its 148-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The numbers for the 2014 Ford Focus aren't out yet.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata reveal to be livestreamed, feature Duran Duran
Fri, 29 Aug 2014We're all hungry like the wolf to see the unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, but Mazda is seriously excited about taking the sheet of its latest droptop because it has 1980s New Wave act Duran Duran headlining the event. In case you can't make it to Monterey, CA, Tokyo or Barcelona to watch the reveal happen, the brand is also livestreaming it on YouTube starting at 6:00 PM PT (9:00 PM ET). The Miata is then showing its all-new face again during the broadcast of Fashion Rocks on CBS on September 9 at 9:00 PM ET.
Facts about the new MX-5 have remained elusive, but we saw its bare chassis at the 2014 New York show. The roadster was rumored to return to the classic oval grille from the earlier models and also shed a decent amount of weight over the current version, possibly around 300 pounds.
Don't worry about noting the big reveal in your calendars, though. Not only will Autoblog be in attendance in Monterey to hear Simon Le Bon belt out Rio, we will also publish another post linking to the livestream before the unveiling. In the meantime, scroll down to read Mazda's announcement and check out the link to the stream, which just shows a countdown at the moment.
Mazda going back to oval grille with next MX-5 Miata
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The original Mazda MX-5 Miata was distinguished by an oval grille - a design trait that gradually evolved into the smiling cat face on the latest model. But Mazda, according to the latest intel, is planning on returning to that oval grille with the new model in the works.
The revised grille will cap a slightly longer form than models past, while still keeping weight down to a minimum. The stretched wheelbase was reportedly adopted in order to meet the requirements of Alfa Romeo, which is jointly developing the new platform together with Mazda for use on a new roadster of its own.
The new Miata is expected to adopt the 1.5-liter Skyactiv four found in the Mazda3, albeit returned to rev higher and deliver more power and torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic. The Alfa version, meanwhile, is expected to use a 1.4-liter turbo four with a dual-clutch transmission. Sources anticipate the new MX-5 to debut first, possibly at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show a little less than a year from now.
