1992 Mazda 929 from North America - Comments

"The 1992 Mazda 929 is a dream combination of refined lines, power, luxury, and sports car fun!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The oil pressure switch and the left rear axle seal need to be replaced.

General comments?

There are only three minor nuisances in this vehicle: 1) No cup holders, 2) No glove compartment (other than a small lockable compartment in the front armrest), and 3) The steering wheel position can’t be adjusted. With that said, this car is a dream combination of refined lines, power, luxury, and sports car fun!

My 929 is now 14 years old, and looks and drives like it was just taken off of the showroom floor. Nestled in leather and with the stereo cranked, I’ve driven it well over 120 mph, and she still had a lot of power to spare. Moreover, she constantly turns heads and elicits the standard, “That’s a beautiful car…What is it?”

Kudos to the Mazda Engineers that designed this 929! They were many years ahead of their time, but they obviously don’t like to sip on a cool beverage while they’re ripping down the road…How can we spoiled Americans live without a cup holder?! HA!

If you can find a mint 1992 Mazda 929, snatch it up quick!!

I know the Mazda 929 very well, and am in total agreement with your assessment. Mazda was ahead of its time, and I can only imagine what that car would be like with today's technology and amenities. Enjoy the ride!

I am in agreement with you both. I have a 1994 Mazda 929 - and despite some of the quality control issues it has (window regulators are fragile, sunroof track jams), it is an amazingly designed car. My family wants me to get something newer, but I have yet to find anything that is the complete package the way this car is. Please, Mazda, give us a Nine that's based on this car design with the technological updates and refinements.
