Shinsen!!!! NEED WE SAY MORE. Really, if you are looking for a Miata, why go with a boring base model when you can buy this awesome example of the limited run Miata Shinsen!!! Be different, go with the Shinsen. What exactly is a Shinsen? In 2003 Mazda offered a limited run of the Shinsen edition which included the blue interior, the blue-ish silver exterior, and the blue convertible top. These color options are what truly sets the Miata Shinsen apart from other Miatas and this one can be yours-- all yours!!! You know you want it!! , , This 2003 Mazda Miata Shinsen 5-speed is a fabulous convertible waiting for its next owner to drop the top, hit the gas and take off down the road. Open air driving at its best. The Miata is the worlds greatest selling sports car, and for good reason. Once youve driven a Miata you truly understand what driving is. While it doesnt have the horsepower of a Corvette, the true feeling of the road comes through in every shift of the gearbox and every turn. , , The engine is clean, strong running, and in good shape. Weve seen no leaks and hear no weird or odd sounds coming from the car. The hoses and rubber in the engine appear in great shape with no cracking, weathering or worn appearance. The transmission and clutch shift strong. The suspension is in good shape and glides like a Miata is supposed too. , , This Miata is a fine example-- exceptionally clean and well maintained. The exterior is flawless-- we havent seen any real scratches, nicks or other imperfections in the paint. (There is one tiny ding on the passenger side that we tried to get a picture of, but, it is very hard to get it to photograph because it is so minor-- (see pictures)). , , The top appears to be the original top with glass window. It is in good shape. Weve seen no leaks. We ran the hose over the top for about ten minutes in all the areas that may leak and found absolutely no leaks!!! We dont see any tears or other significant wear on the top! , , The interior is well maintained and clean. Everything functions as it should. Ice cold A-C!!! Power locks. No broken pieces. The front seat is a little worn, but has absolutely no snags, rips or tears. The carpet is in good shape. The Blue interior is really a fun sight-- something different from the typical Miatas. The stereo sounds great-- no cracking or static in the speakers and no issues with the head unit except for the display has a few weak cells in it (see pictures). , , This is a rare Mazda Miata that would be a great addition to someones Miata collection, a fabulous first Miata, or a great convertible to enjoy life.
