I am reluctantly selling my 2011 Mazda MX-5 Special Edition PRHT. This car is in near mint condition, and the new owner will be getting $3,000 worth of aftermarket goodies. Kelley Blue Book value is $26,000.
I am the third owner of the car. The original owner drove it for a short while before trading it in for something bigger. The second owner sold it to me with 7,200 miles on it, and he sold it to buy a touring motorcycle. I have had the car since February '12 and the car now registers 11,800 miles and counting. I have driven a '93 Miata for the past 15 years, and I bought this car as a replacement. One thing led to another and I ended up restoring the '93, investing much more money than I had originally planned. After lots of agonizing, I have decided that it is not financially viable to keep both cars. This is my only reason for selling it. I will probably regret it.
This car is awesome. Only 750 special edition units were produced. It is fully loaded......Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT), Premium Package (Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, Xenon Headlights, Key-less entry/start, Electronic Stability Control), Suspension Package (Bilstein Shocks, Limited Slip Differential, Sport Suspension), Leather Wrapped steering wheel/parking brake handle, Gray Leather seats, Gray door trim, Chrome air vents/instrument cluster surrounds. Sparkling Black Mica paint is gorgeous and sexy.
6-Speed manual transmission shifts smooth as silk. New Mobil 1 synthetic oil changed in last 200 miles. Bumper to bumper Mazda factory warranty through July 2014.
$3k extras include.......3M Clear Bra paint protection ($750), Ziebart window tinting ($250), Magnaflow sport exhaust ($500), Dynamat noise reducer under hood and in doors ($500), Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires ($700), Zunsport front grill cover ($160), Rho Plate license plate mount ($60), Craven Speed Stubby antenna ($30), DIY lumbar support ($40), Voodoo engraved gear shift knob ($60).
No dings or dents. The exterior paint is immaculate - protected by 3M Clear Bra and regular hand washes/waxes. Interior is flawless. Leather seats regularly cleaned and conditioned.

World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
2014 Mazda3 Sedan
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Playing Favorites
We're not going to beat around the bush: for the kind of person who willfully chooses to take longer, windier and more scenic routes to get to Point B, the 2014 Mazda3 is the new compact car measuring stick by which others will be judged. That doesn't, of course, make it the right choice for every buyer.
We'll spend the next thousand words or so explaining the whys and hows that make our opening statement a fact, but for now, suffice it to say that Mazda has engineered its latest crop of vehicles - namely the CX-5, Mazda6 and its smaller sibling and subject of this test, the Mazda3 - from the ground up. Absolutely everything about the Mazda3 is refined for 2014, from its chassis to its engines and everything in between, and it was done in a completely new and holistic way. Every component, subcomponent and stamping required to bolt and weld together an automobile was rethought to ensure the Mazda3 has what it takes to compete with such established benchmarks as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus.
Mazda goes on engineer hiring binge as recovery picks up speed
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Japan's larger automakers - companies like Toyota, Honda and Nissan - have tremendous engineering talent at their disposal. That's largely because, selling as many cars as they do, they've got more revenues to tap into. Logic might dictate, then, that smaller automakers like Mazda, which no longer has the deep pockets afforded to it by its former partnership with Ford, might have less of a budget and workforce for engineering. But Mazda has been raking in record profits, and it plans on cashing those revenues in by hiring a substantial new pool of engineers.
According to Automotive News, Mazda is preparing to hire as many as 185 new engineers over the next two years - almost four times as many as the 50 engineers it previously targeted. Many of those engineers will be put to work developing the second-generation, Skyactiv 2 technologies that are on the drawing board while the first round of Skyactiv features are still being rolled out.
The boost in recruitment is enabled by a positive fiscal year that ended last March, marking the first profits Mazda had logged in four years. Sources anticipate that the fiscal year culminating at the end of this month will mark the company's most profitable yet, netting over a billion dollars to eclipse the fiscal year that ended in 2008 when it recorded $872.5 million in profits.
