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.

Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.

Mazda launches 25th Anniversary Miata pre-order site, priced from $32,205

Fri, 02 May 2014

Mazda made a big celebration of the MX-5 Miata at the 2014 New York Auto Show with a bunch of classic models on display. It capped off the model's 25th birthday with the announcement of the 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition and showed off the much-anticipated, next-generation version's chassis.
While we are still at least year away from the new Miata hitting the road, the anniversary edition is on its way and is limited to just 100 copies for the United States. The special cars start at $32,205, compared to $23,970 for the 2015 softtop model and $28,665 for the 2015 retractable hardtop version. There is an additional $795 destination charge for all of them.
To make sure everyone gets a chance to own the ceremonial convertible, Mazda has a countdown on its website until 10:25 AM PDT, May 20, 2014. When the day comes, 250 people can to register for the car, and the first 100 to be verified as buyers get the rare Miata. Those with multiple entries will be disqualified.

Mazda has right mix to chase 120,000 more US sales

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

The Mazda MX-5 Miata was named to Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for the eighth year in a row and for the fourteenth time overall. The CX-5 tops or comes in as runner-up on every AOL Autos staff poll we take on compact crossovers. The Mazda3 is a perennial favorite among auto critics. That's three clear, unquestioned winners in the Mazda showroom. So, why does Mazda seem to struggle sometimes for recognition and clarity in the marketplace?
For that, I chatted with Mazda North American Operations President, Jim O'Sullivan, who has run the outfit since 2003. O'Sullivan, a former Ford sales and marketing executive who came to Mazda from Dearborn, MI when Ford owned a controlling stake in Mazda, is one of the quieter, but very menchy, leaders in the industry whose longevity in the job speaks to the stability of Mazda.
