Classic Collector's Mazda 626 on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
Serious offers only. This is for a full car and will not be sold
off for parts. This is a one-of-a-kind classic. I'm only the car's
second owner and I have all of the paperwork sent to the original buyer
from the dealership it was purchased from. It has less than sixty one
thousand original miles on it, as verified by the Utah Department
of Motor Vehicle at the time I bought the car. In February of 2012, the
car was hit on the passenger's side by a woman doing 40 mph in a 10 mph
zone. There are only a few other minor dings here and there on the
body, in that there's only one other that's larger than a fifty cent
piece. The car also has a mustache on the hood that has been fixed with a
permanent adhesive of sorts, not sure what. The interior needs to be
replaced as the car sat out in the sun for many years and wasn't
protected from the elements. When I bought the car, it had been sitting
for at least four years, as the original owner had moved to a retirement
home and didn't think anything more about the car. There are three
things that I know for certain are wrong with the car. It has a blown
head gasket (from sitting for so long), it needs a new clutch/flywheel
assembly (it has a 5 speed transmission) and the muffler/exhaust pipe
are pretty much rusted away. The tires on it are still like new, even
though they're 8 years old. I've been told that this is truly a gem,
despite the repairs needed, and is worth a great deal to a collector.
While the repairs will run around $7000.00 (unless you can do them
yourself), I've been told by several restoration companies that it's
worth at least $10,000.00, even in it's current condition. I absolutely
love this little car and want it to go to someone that's going to spend
the time and money loving it back to the beautiful little treasure it
is. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO HAVE THE CAR DELIVERED.

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata a knight in white satin
Wed, 19 Nov 2014We're not going to lie to you. The reason you're seeing the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata on these pages again is solely because this is the first time we're seeing the roadster displayed in a color other than the ruby shade it was first shown in. Okay, okay, so this is the first time the Miata is being displayed at a North American auto show other than SEMA, and we'd say that this is the first time Mazda is showing a US-spec model, but clearly this is a right-hand-drive car. Either way, there's still not much to it yet, especially since Mazda is still withholding power and performance figures.
As expected, the ND Miata, as it is already known among the cognoscenti, will receive a 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder and the buyer's choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic here in the US. The 1.5-liter model engine that had been linked to the car back in the rumormill stage will not make it to our showrooms.
Preliminary specifications still show the Miata measuring just 154.1 inches in length overall, with an increased track width to 68.1 inches and a low, low overall height of 49.0 inches. Despite the larger-displacement engine and its presumably heavier weight, Mazda is still claiming ideal 50:50 weight distribution and a weight loss of over 220 pounds versus today's NC generation. All of which sounds like the Miata has the right ingredients to make good on its promised Jinba Ittai ("rider and horse as one") driving experience.
Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000
Tue, 07 May 2013There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.
