Overview

The Mazda RX7 was only sold in the US from 1993-1995.  The production number was only 13,879 in total, with only 3403 in 1994.  Of those 3403 in 1994 only 118 of them came in the Silver Stone Metallic with the Touring Package and a manual transmission.  And of those 118 only 16 came with the red interior.  1994 was the last year for the Touring Package option, also the last year the red leather was offered as an option, and the first year the Silver Stone Metallic was available.  They softened the suspension in 1994 for the Base and Touring models.  Added in 1994 also was a passenger side airbag, map pockets, and one touch driver’s side window switch.  To say the car here for sale is rare would be an understatement.  Not only would you be hard pressed to find another with the same options and color scheme, you won’t find one in this condition and with this low of miles.  This car has been very well cared for its entire life.  It has been in single ownership since new.  It was garage kept, driven sparingly every year, and never in anything other than sunshine.  Maintenance was regularly performed by Mazda technicians and all the recalls were performed by Mazda as well.    

Exterior

This car wears its entirely original paint.  There is not one scratch.  There is a small chip under the rear spoiler.(see photos)  It shines like the day it was sold.  No fading or discolorations, not one sign of any rust.  The front chin spoiler has not been scraped on any low driveways.  Every wheel is in like new condition and wrapped in like new P225/50R16 Goodyear Eagle tires.  There is a dealer installed wind deflector on the glass moonroof, with the white Mazda stamp still visible.  All gaps are good, doors shut properly, and hood/trunk fit is good as well.  It has the optional rear window wiper and washer.  There is also a period cell phone antenna on the rear window. 

Interior

The interior in this RX7 is absolutely stunning.  As it should be with only a mere 12,000 miles on the car.  It has never been repaired or replaced, it is all the original leather and trim.  The red leather seats are in amazing condition.  They were very well cared for.  There is not one sign of discoloration or cracks.  The leather is very soft and clean.  There are not any stains or spots in the carpet or the optional floor mats.  The 2 rear compartments are clean and have no scratches in the plastic trim.  The storage compartment on the driver’s door still has its little door.  It has the optional rear cargo cover.  The center console is like new.  The ashtray is clean, the owner was not a smoker.  The pedals are drilled aluminum.  All the electronics work perfectly.  Windows, moonroof, mirrors, and locks all work flawlessly.  All the interior lights, gauges, and wipers are in great working order.  This car has the optional Bose Acoustic Wave Sound System and it works perfectly.  None of the switches or knobs show any wear or discoloration.  The AC blows cold.  The interior of this car is in simply amazing condition.  It does have a period cell phone docking station on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel. 

Mechanical's

The twin turbo 2 cylinder Rotary 1.3 liter engine runs as strong as the day it was built.  It pulls like a super car.  0-60 MPH time in the mid-5 second range with 255 BHP and 160 MPH top speed.  It has excellent oil pressure.  The cooling system works perfectly.  Electric fans are in proper working condition, coolant is clean, and there is zero smoke or smells.  It has only had premium fuel in its tank.  It only has 12,000 original miles on it.  All the routine services done to the motor were performed by Mazda, according to the original owner.  The turbos are in excellent working condition.  The car has zero leaks.  All the recalls were performed.  All the hoses look to be in great condition.  The clutch feels amazing.  It shifts very smoothly, including into 5th gear.  No rattles, clunks, or shakes.  The 4 wheel disc brakes are firm.  The car rides very smoothly on its original suspension components.

Literature and Extras

The car still has all its original books, pamphlets, and holders.  The original window sticker and original spare key.  It comes with extra oil filters and air filters from Mazda and the original Bose Sound System test CD.  Also, the moonroof interior cover.    

Conclusion

You are not going to find a nicer original example of the Mazda RX7.  It has had no modifications, like most of the others on the market.  This car is ready to be driven if you so choose too.  Simply a joy to drive!

Mazda recalling 18k Mazda6 and RX-8 models over airbag inflators

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Faulty Takata airbag inflators keep taking their toll on automakers. Mazda is the latest to be affected in the US by announcing a recall covering 18,050 Mazda6 and RX-8 models to replace the front, passenger-side airbags. Specifically, the campaign covers 18,000 Mazda6 units from the 2003 and 2004 model years built between May 29, 2002, and March 4, 2004, and 50 RX-8 vehicles from the 2004 model year made between June 25, 2003, and June 30, 2003.
As with the rest of the vehicles with these faulty inflators, it's possible for the part to rupture when deploying the airbag and potentially spray shrapnel at the occupant. Mazda's defect notice goes into a bit more detail than most about the problem saying: "some propellant wafers have been produced with an inadequate compaction force, or may have been exposed to uncontrolled moisture conditions (those wafers could have absorbed moisture beyond the allowable limits)."
This isn't Mazda's first difficulty with Takata-supplied airbags this year. The company was among the seven automakers that recalled vehicles in hot-weather states over the inflators. It also had to recently fix 42,000 Mazda6 vehicles in China over the issue.

2014 Mazda6 gets up to 38 mpg, priced from $20,880*

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

The 2014 Mazda6 starts at $20,880 - *excluding a $795 destination fee - and will offer buyers up to 37 mpg highway in base form. That money will fetch buyers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired to a six-speed manual - a setup packing 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. The Skyactiv powertrain is good, Mazda says, for 25 miles per gallon in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. Stepping up to the six-speed automatic gearbox will yield an additional 1 mpg in city and highway driving for up to 38 mpg highway. Despite offering more equipment, the base 2014 model carries a modest $155 price increase over its 2013 predecessor.
Available trims include i Sport starting at $22,495 and i Touring at $24,495 (*both excluding destination charges). The latter swaps the standard car's 17-inch wheels for 19-inch rollers and includes dual-zone automatic climate control and leatherette sport seats among other niceties. Buyers can snap up a tech package that includes TomTom navigation and an 11-speaker Bose Centerpoint sound system for $2,000. Keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers and the company's Smart City Brake Support are all part of that kit as well. Check out the full press release below for more information, and look for more details on the diesel-powered 2014 Mazda6 as we get closer to that vehicle's launch.

Mazda2 with extended-range hybrid rotary tech shown

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

Every story dealing with a new rotary engine from Mazda lands in a different place on the matrix of possibilities between "Coming soon!" and "Never gonna happen!" In 2011 it was speculated that the rotary engineering program would be shut down with the demise of the RX-8, in 2012 the program was still alive and taking lessons from the SkyActiv engines, in August 2013 a Mazda insider said a rotary engine called 16X would be here in two years, in November the CEO said the only way we'd ever get a new rotary is if Mazda could sell 100,000 of them per year. Meaning that, for the moment, you can forget about it.
And yet, last month Mazda was putting journalists in a Mazda2 RE Range Extender, an electric car using a 0.33-liter rotary to power its lithium-ion batteries when the charge runs down. With a 75-kilowatt, 100-horsepower electric motor turning the front wheels, the Wankel generator and its 2.6-gallon gas tank living under the trunk double the range of the electric-only Mazda2 to 250 miles.
There's been talk of using a rotary to assist an alt-fuel vehicle for at least seven years, with Mazda pairing an electric motor with a rotary that ran on gas and hydrogen in a Mazda5 in 2007. Since then, almost all of those stories debating its return or demise also spoke of the oddball motor's advantages, such as compact size and ability to run on various fuels, as an aid in an unconventional powertrain.
