WE BOUGHT THIS GREAT LITTLE CONVERTIBLE NEW IN 1992. WE HAVE AROUND 55000 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER AND ENJOYED THE CAR IMMENSLY. BUT WE NOW ARE OLD HAS BEENS, AND IT IS TIME TO SELL THIS WONDERFUL VEHICLE TO A YOUNGER PERSON WHO CAN GET THE FULL ENJOYMENT OUT OF ITS ROUSING PERFORMANCE. THE STICK SHIFT IS A JOY TO DRIVE AND THAT IS ABOUT ALL WE EVER USED IT FOR. THAT IS SHORT DRIVES INTO THE SUMMER SUN AND IT WAS ALWAYS STORED AWAY FOR THE MEAN WINTER WEATHER OF NORTH OHIO. THIS AUTOMOBILE CAN BE A HAZZARD TO DRIVE IN SNOWY AND ICY WEATHER.
YES, IT DOES NEED SOME WORK DONE ON IT TO BRING IT UP TO ITS BEST. AS WE AGED WE TENDED TO LET THINGS GO AND SO THE AUTOMOBILE AS IT SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY TODAY IS IN NEED OF THE FOLLOWING:
A NEW TOP.
A PAINT JOB
A RADIO REPAIR
WINDOWS THAT ARE ACTIVATED BY PUULING ON A ROPE AND CLOSED BY SIMPLY PUSHING DOWN ON THE WINDOW.
THE ONLY DAMAGE EVER DONE TO THIS CAR WAS A SLIGHT RAMMING FROM A VEHICLE IN THE REAR AND I REPAIRED THIS TO MY SATISFACTION AND POCKETED THE INSURANCE.
THE LAST REPAIR, WHICH I DID MYSELF, WAS REPLACE THE CLUTCH WHICH GAVE OUT A YEAR OR SO AGO.
THE RADIO HAS BEEN REMOVED AS IT BECAME VERY QUESTIONABLE AS TO ITS PERFORMANCE AS THE CAR GREW OLDER. i HAVE THE RADIO IN A BOX IN MY WORKSHOP AND I WOULD THINK IT FIXABLE.
THE ONLY PROBLEM BESIDE THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT, WAS A SPARK PLUG WIRE PROBLEM WHICH I REPAIRED MYSELF.
I BELIEVE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT WORKING, BUT WOULD GUESS THAT A REFILL OF REFRIGERANT WOULD SOLVE THAT PROBLEM?
THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT IT HAS ONLY BEEN NOW BROKEN IN PROPERLY, AND WILL GIVE MANY YEARS OF RELIABLE SERVICE.
I MIGHT ADD THAT THE RUBBER IS IN NEW CONDITION AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED ONE TIME.

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar gets first win at Road Atlanta
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Mazda has a long motorsports history, and one that is peppered with fascinating cars. The latest chapter in Mazda's racing story has just been written, as Joel Miller and Andrew Carbonell have driven the Visit Florida Racing Mazda6 Skyactiv-D to the car's first ever victory at the Rolex Grand-Am GX race at Road Atlanta. The win marks the first ever for Mazda's diesel-burning, production-car based Skyactiv-D racer, and the first win for a diesel-powered car in a Grand-Am event.
In fact, it was a particularly good day for the Mazda Motorsports team, as a Mazda6 also picked up the third finishing spot at Road Atlanta. Director of Mazda Motorsports, John M. Doonan, said of the racecar, "We've always said that the best street cars make the best racecars, and, with more than half of the components in the race engine being shared with the street engine, this program is a solid proof-point."
SpeedSource Engineering, which helped to build the Mazda6 racer, was greatly heartened by the car's performance in just it's fourth-ever race. Owner Sylvain Tremblay called the victory, "a tribute to the thousands of hours of hard work over many months," continuing, "The normal plan with a new car is to spend the first year in development, the second year seeking race wins, and challenging for a championship in year three. We are already at our year-two status after four races. We can't wait to get to the Belle Isle course in Detroit for round five."
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.
Mazda builds 4-millionth Mazda3
Tue, 25 Feb 2014To say that the Mazda3 is a vital product for Mazda would be one heck of an understatement. In fact, the model line accounts for about 30 percent of the manufacturer's sales. Fortunately for Mazda, they're selling well.
These days, the Japanese automaker is building the Mazda3 (known domestically as the Axela) in Japan, China, Thailand and, as of last month, in Mexico. The company's expanded global production capacity has helped Mazda reach four million units of the Mazda3 sold around the world since the first model was introduced over ten and a half years ago.
Over the course of that decade since its introduction in June 2003, Mazda has gone through three generations of Mazda3, the newest model benefiting from the company's Skyactiv technology and even encompassing a hybrid model in the Japanese Domestic Market.
