- A short drive in the 1988 Mazda 929. This video has been quite popular and folks have had lots of nice comments and questions. It was a wonderful time capsule. I sold the car in January of 2022 on bringatrailer.com There are lots of additional photos it there if you're interested. Search for lot 64284
80-90s was civilizations peak, all down hill from there
Early 90s… I would argue. By 95 it was starting to suck.
@@777jones And from 2000 onwards, rapid decline.
On Point Mr. 👍
I'd argue 1985 was the peak.
You’re right, and that’s why we’re all here.
Дизайн приборной панели опередил время, даже сейчас приятно смотрится
Может Вы знаете, что за песня в конце?)))

Wow, 80's high tech! Nice car!
The decade with the best music AND the best dashboards.
And this dashboards rpm gauge looks like a peak meter on a tape deck :)
Yes ,renault 25 and bmw 323i 77
I came back to this with my audio on. Imagine how special and giddy you must have felt hearing those very gentle sounding chimes instead of the infamous 80s "buzzer" sounds that everyone hates. OH WOW. I just noticed a CD PLAYER??? 1988??? Wow this is really a special car the original owner must have been so proud.
Exactly, I've wondered this about the US cars for ages. I know it might be the law to have a buzzer to remind you of having the key in the ignition with the door open (as if you didn't know you just put it in there) but for christssakes do they all have to sound so dull and repetetive? Like get creative, the law can't mandate it to sound god damned awful. I hate hearing it every time.
The oscillating vents 🤯
I really like the design of the dash
My wife's uncle pulled his old 626 out of the garage to start refreshing it after 30 years. It still has the original tyres and less than 30000kms on the ODO. Roughly the same kms with his '82 mazda 323, has the GT gauges and all, but the brakes are rusted up from sitting so long. I keep telling him hes going to leave it to me. Both cars belonged to his parents.
Мазда 929 была доступна только для состоятельных, а в то время, состоятельные люди были довольно продвинуты, потому как уровень заряда батареи давление масла и другие показатели для них были не просто информацией, а важной информацией. Теперь в некоторых авто даже температура двигателя не выводится на панель приборов, так как все равно для владельца это темный лес.
Ты про кого? Не про японцев ведь?
@@cegp9942 и про японцев тоже! А почему нет?
What a wonderful car.. high quality interior.. well designed 👍👍👍
Vacuum Fluorescent Displays looks way better than modern LCDs
Yep and they are my favorite display tech! My microwave (I have a video of it on my channel) is old enough to still have a VFD and not a boring LED or LCD panel
@@Peter_Yachymczyk Mine too. Cant beat the crisp cool look of a VFD.
And somehow more futuristic
@@Jaroslav. That's thanks to their superior contrast
@@Peter_Yachymczyk Most displays that are marketed as an "LED display" are not true LED displays and are actually just the same full colored LCD displays we've been using for the past 20 years or so with the only difference being an LED backlight as opposed to CCFL. Now yes, many true LED displays in today's appliances are implemented in quite a plain, boring fashion, but I actually wonder if some of such displays could look and act like VFDs if they tried harder to make them look like one. I'm all for improvement in technology and considering how they work, I can see why many manufacturers are not favoring VFDs like they used to but it's too bad I haven't seen that many manufacturers try to recreate the beautiful, more delicate glow and precise, high contrast of VFDs. I think it would be very possible and quite cheap as well. They just need to run the LEDs at lower brightness, put them behind neutral density filters as many VFDs are, and design them such that the glow precisely stays where the lit elements are without bleeding into inactive elements.
This was a treat to watch. Those 929's were very well equipped cars. Sadly, very few exist on the road today.
Not sadly, there's a good reason for that, I still see Honda accords & civics the same year as that still in action.
@@noirnoble1181 they where sold in much greater numbers and are a completly different category of cars.so no you compare aplles to peaches.by the way build quality was far superior to accord or civic.

That digital screen is so awesome, I think older cars in the 1980s were so cool, more cooler then todays cars
Это точно.

That's one of the nicest interiors I've ever seen. I want one of these so bad!
Шикарное состояние для автомобиля этих лет) По тем временам наверное это было luxury top✊🔥
What a glorious machine. Peak 80s style. 💙💙💙
Sound system is great! I’d love to play my 90’s cassettes in that car
It was used by teachers in Japan. It's a very comfortable car
Lovely motor! I had one - a 1989 car - when I was working in Malaysia, many years ago. It was automatic, black with dark tinted windows and looked for all the world like a gangster's car. I loved it and wished I could have found a way to bring it back to the UK. No heater though, but stonkingky good air conditioning!
VFD gauge clusters were the absolute peak of modernity.
They need to make this car again as a flagship sedan model Mazda 9.
No joke, as I watch this, I can literally smell the velour. I love it.
An Era when cars had quality materials and not plastic all over
Возврат в 80-е в лучших традициях! И голос Стинга!
"And I have to tell a story of a thousand rainy days since we first met" 😍 That Police CD soundtrack is the sweet spot.
Buttons. I think we're headed back to them in future designs. Hyundai is already showing concept cars with tactile buttons as controls. THIS is the retro I can get into.
I hope so. I'm really growing sick and tired of touchscreen and especially haptic touch control "buttons" that seem to be on every car now, awash in a sea of fingerprint-magnet gloss black. Yech. I hate it.
I always loved the square bodies of the 80’s 929’s

Driving one of those, felt like an airplane.
I'd the 1989 exactly the same dash with single CD player premium sound.
Pure magic.
This is one of the clean futuristic digital dashboard. What a luxurious, An AC with swing along with cassette & CD combos!
Definitivno,bolje i ljepše nego danas!
Apsolutno se slažem!
Vremena kad se pravilo kvalitetno, i nije se štedilo, i opet nije bilo skupo kao danas
And then at the end he turns on the radio and The Police is on. Pow right in the feels. I miss them days so much it's almost physically sickening.
No tablet on the dash!! I'm in love!!!
I've only ever seen a handful of 929's in the metal here in Western Canada. They so bloody rare!
I have never seen the inside of one though. They look way more luxurious that I had imagined.
Travelling from Jubail Saudi Arabia to Istanbul with my father was unforgettable journey.. Such powerful V6 RWD..
When did you make the trip?
@@mikemack3243
July or August 1987..
Not sure exactly..
But surely 235km/hour maximum achieved speed
Mazd 929 87 had no v6 Engin back then
@@salembamunif8950
It was manual transmission.. 87
Sold after that journey..
Then bought 88 automatic transmission.. Both of them with same unusual issue.. Back wheel breaks warn out..
Was this trip possible by land at that times?
automatic swing a/c vents really nice!!!! oh wow my dream car when I was a kid! , my neighbor used to have one!
I normally don't like digital dashboards on cars, but these are the exception. These just look so cool, especially at night
these cars was probably the peak of the cars, after it went all downhill.
You might not like it but this is peak perfection

I had this model, was so futuristic back in those days everyone used to come just to gawk at all the tech lol
The dash and centre stack reminds me of the best Japan had to offer in late 1980s home entertainment equipment -and that's a lot!
Amazing! The exact angle that i wish every POV included. Subbed
In 1988, I was 23 y.o. after my G.F. I was dreaming of this car.
It was one of the best Japanese luxury sedans in the US market at the time. It is still beautiful in 2023.
Loved it when the music came on! Haha Awesome sound for such an old car and it appears to ride amazing😍
This retro futuristic dashboard looks more futuristic than any modern one 😊
Cars were built so much better back then.
Clean and classic. Older rides have so much more character.
Car with 1980-s style VFD gauges still is my dream. At today no one make something like that anymore :(
What a damn beauty...👏👏👏👏...i remember those days pretty well when cars used to look like cars and not spaceship knockoffs with wheels...late 80s early 90s was the most amazing time for car designs...still have them all in my memories...will never forget the day when i parked behind a lamborghini diablo in coconut grove back in 1992...i was all extra-carefull and shit not to hit the lambo...lol...those were the days...cars used to have personalities...more than people nowdays i tell you that
My father bought an 89 brand new when i was 4 i will always remember it.
Muito tecnológico para época, tempo que se fazia bons carros
1988 Mazda looks better than some modern cars. Sitting inside in 88 felt like sitting in spaceship
Neighbor had one of those. It was awesome back in 1990. Slow, but awesome.
Don't forget, they came out with the 929 S model for 1990 that had 45 more HP and retuned suspension. That one was certainly not slow.
@@jay.fromthebay My neighbor had the 90 hp version. Not fast.
@@Roger_Gustafsson Oh, in the US we only had a 150hp and 190hp version.
@@jay.fromthebay I had no idea those existed. And also I have no idea why they would bother bringing in the slow asf version here when we had various way more powerful "hot hatches" around. Manta, Kadett, Golf, BMW, Alfas, Nissan etc...
@@Roger_Gustafsson that's so interesting. I believe it's because in the US it was pushed further upmarket compared to Europe where they had 4 cylinder versions that we never saw. They should have brought the better versions to Europe since.l those cars were all so competitive.
Love the digital dash and classic Japanese switchgear. Things were better, in the past.
This vehicle is even more advanced than some of the new cars today.
I wanna come back to 80, 90s year 😥💙
Mi suegro tenía uno! Muy lindo ! Bastante amplio … su hija sabe que era bien comodo también 🫢
This green monitor is excellent,the golden era of quality auto production 1990-2000....
made in Japan the best car🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵,Camry v10 is legend as well
панель приборов как у самолёта! 👍
Glad you didn't crash it.
Decide to either drive or shoot a goddamn video!
My European greetings to Utah. Seen those rocks.
My friend's family had one, though it was a manual with analog gauges and no a/c. Primitive level of options was typical in Finland at the time. However it still looked upscale and it was RWD which is what they wanted, as they were frequently towing a camper trailer.
very nice dash and very nice sounding engine. Nice car sir!
That dash were like 30 years ahead in Time 😮 WOW
Love the climate Swings, nice Car!
Such an underrated feature. I have them on my 626 and its very nice if you want to blow air on both the passengers.
Car is way ahead of its time
When I was a kid my neighbor had a 929, we lived up on a hill and I remember one winter when we got a lot of snow when he tired to drive it up the hill. The swearing and shoveling he had to do to get it up there :D Cool car and something you dont see everyday nowadays.
All newer cars are so quiet because most people seem to prefer that. I really like how you can hear the engine clearly right when you start it up. Just watched a video with a 2011 accord and the only way you could tell the engine was on was by looking at the tach.
I love dashboards from these era;'s... so much more car-like.
Everything is beautiful in the eighties
Приборка красивее чем у 90% современных авто. А функция swing вообще шикарна
That must have been incredibly futuristic for that time.
В Японии это Mazda Luce. У меня такая была 1989 года выпуска, V6 2.0литра. В 1996 году для меня она была сродни летающей тарелке. 👍
Судя по панели она и сейчас нормально выглядит. Лада гранта 23 года даже близко не стоит, осталось в допы вложить кривой стартер и будет топ🤣
Точно так. Я брал такую Майзуру в 92году на т/х Свирск ДВМП. Машина была перевертыш 88 года выпуска, хотел купить с неё мафон, но японец соглашался только с машиной, пришлось брать, насколько я помню за 5000 или 7000 иен. Привезли к борту на машиновозе без ключа и двумя битыми дисками, лобовое выбито и погнута крыша. Диски с резиной я подобрал в частном секторе, привёз на велике, поставил на колёса а вечером японец привёз и ключи, завелась без проблем. С Находки переганял до Владика и отдал её бандитам которые меня встречали как крыша за сто баксов. Незнаю что с ней потом было, но там были проблемы после кузовных работ по оптике и стеклам. В Владивостоке в 92-году таких машин ещё не было и сколько я не искал по разборам в Японии на эту модель, так и ни одну битую я и не нашёл. В 92-году в Владике были Люси но такие старые с четырьмя фарами спереди, если помните. В том же году студенты вырулили в каком то Южном порту Японии Мазду Капелу 89года выпуска, правда с огромным пробегом под 300тыс.км, помоему одна из первых Капел которая попала в Приморье в том кузове, проходили они у нас практику на Свирске.
Amazing time capsule ❤❤❤
High tech, Knight Rider instrument display + walnut wood burl dash = luxury
Как же все классно сделано с душой
1988 mazda 929 is a best quality and stronge and powerful and soft drive car with best full options of all olden times models full automatic models dear same like a smart plane on the road dear ❤
Better than modern touch screen interface. Switches for everything.

The time when cars were made by engineers, not sales managers.
gotta love that battery charge gauge
A 1988 Car with an OEM CD Player? Crazy. I think Lincoln was the first in 1987.
I will buy one of this and I am a 2023 CX-50 Premium Plus owner :)
Этот дисплей выглядит намного футуристичнее современных автомобилей
I wish if I can find one...beautiful 🥇
So much better and cooler than newer cars. I will get a car like this. Newer cars all feel soulless compared to this.
I swear to you, late 80s, early 90s Japanese cars were WAY WAY BETTER than many of the Japanese cars of today.
This 929 was a super premium and very substantial car.
I had a couple second generation Camrys that I absolutely loved, and were way better than my 2016 Camry.
1988 wow. Very unique dashboard
my childtood has returned. Staring at the center console for years, trying to understand what each button did. I dont really miss it haha
I would drive that car when I was a skinny boy. The car had 3l engine and a spacious luxury interior.
beautiful dashboard.
