1994 Mazda Miata

The Mazda Miata had a trim level that was a bump up from the standard Miata for 1994. That being the M edition. With this one would have the addition of AC, 14-inch polished alloy wheels, a Torsen limited slip differential, leather seats, tan vinyl top, power accessories and headrest speakers to name a few. An upgrade from the standard Mazda Miata that is a real curve carver with minimal power but who cares, it's all in the curves… (Which is true for cars and people!)

For consignment, a classic beauty, all original save for the exception of a new soft top, and body matching hardtop that all comes along with this ride. A mere 2 owners, both non smokers and both had garages to keep this car within when not in use. The M version upgrade, a great corner carver, and sporty looks.

Exterior
With the exception of a small blemish in the rear bumper, this car presents as excellent. Straight steel, nice Montego Blue paint, and it's on the accessory fiberglass hardtop as well. It's all looking fabulous! A tan vinyl convertible top is on this car and it has a clear plastic rear window. Hidden headlights, a body matching rounded neoprene bumper and the small lower grille opening is just smiling at you with delight. More round for the rear, and wrap around aero taillights, let's go on a back road hair raising ride.

Interior
As with all the M edition optioned Miatas, this one has a wonderfully preserved tan leather interior. This adorns the doors and seats which are high back buckets with headrests that include stereo speakers, (you can hear the radio when the top is down kids!!). Molded black plastic created the curvaceous dash for the center and instrument cluster of the dash. A black center console races through the buckets, and a nifty shifty with a wood topper is within this console. Nice clean tan carpeting is installed from the factory and is in mint condition. Miata badged, shiny door thresholds are seen on either side upon entry, and there is plenty of legroom for those who tend to be taller. Headroom is unlimited when the top is down, (imagine that!?). A nice tan tonneau covering hides the convertible top when in the down position. Also noted is a leather wrapped steering wheel, A/C, wood shift knob, parking brake lever, power windows, power steering power, mirrors and a power antenna, all working. Chromed plated door plates are seen, and an illuminated entry lighting was added by the consigner.

Drivetrain
A pop of the bonnet, and we are greeted with a 1.8 Liter L4 DOHC 16V 4-cylinder engine. This has EFI and a 5-speed manual transmission on back with a 4.10 limited slip differential. Consigner states new plugs and wires are in, a new valve cover gasket, new fuel filter fresh oil change and a new battery, all performed in 2020.

Undercarriage
Underneath some light patina and surface rust, but all unremarkable. Suspension all round is independent double wishbones and power disc brakes give the car its woah! factor. Clean rust free exhaust, and solid structural unibody construction for this example.

Drive-Ability
She fired right up and on the test track the highlight of this car is the cornering. Rail-like and there literally there is no corner too tight for this sports car to carve up like the Thanksgiving turkey. Decent acceleration and bias free braking were all experienced during my test drive. Also, all electronic power functionality was working just right baby bear…

A wonderful 1994 example of the Miata M option edition. Always garaged, and well taken care of, it is in very good condition, and a great car for someone who wants to get into the sports car scene with a very affordable amount of money, and you're in a classic sports car, albeit from Japan. The original window sticker, and a special edition gift set as well as the body matching fiberglass top and other goodies will be coming along with the sale of this vehicle.
