2001 Mazda MPV Minivan
Mileage: Approximately 99,000
**Maintenance Summary -
Routine oil changes every 5,000 miles.
Transmission Flush every 45,000. (Two flushes so far over the life of the vehicle) - No varnish buildup in transmission gearbox or torque converter.
Coolant flush every 6 seasons (3 year intervals - California seasons consist of "Hot" and "Cooler"). New radiator installed in February of 2011.
**Wearable items Maintenance -
New tires in January of 2012 - Approximately 7,000 miles since replacement - rotated after 5,000 miles when I put new brakes on.
New Battery, headlights and brake lights in Summer of 2012
New Brakes in September of 2012 (Approximately 2,000 miles since replacement)
** DAMAGE to Car
Rear passenger side door - scraped and slightly dented
Other small little dings in front passenger door (size of a penny)
** Corrective Maintenance needed to be performed:
The van has a slight coolant leak. I am not sure exactly where its coming from, but I suspect the water pump. Our plan is to keep the expansion tank filled (with de-mineralized water) until we plan to get rid of the car. I have been checking the coolant reservoir every week to make sure levels are where they need to be.
**Overall interior appearance
The interior has aged quite well. We perform an annual steam clean of the carpets immediately following the summer beach season.
**General Ride and Comfort
The ride of the car is quite smooth. The alignment is perfect and both air conditioning units (front and rear) work great. I replace the cabin filter every four years and there is no mildew smell at all out of the vents when the A/C units are used. The onboard entertainment system works well (VHS tape player) and the radio/CD player system does too. the minivan has custom OEM rims sized for P205/65/R15 tires and has lived in a garage for approximately 9 1/2 out of the 11 years we have owned the vehicle; so the paint job isn't oxidized.

2014 Mazda Skyactiv Prototype looks ready for Daytona
Fri, 17 Jan 2014With less than two weeks before the Mazda Skyactiv Prototype makes its race debut at the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Japanese Zoom-Zoom brand brought its diesel-powered racer to the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
The red prototype marks Mazda's return to prototype racing, and will campaign the inaugural Tudor United SportsCar Championship using a 2.2-liter, SkyActiv-D diesel engine. With 451 horsepower on tap and 580 pound-feet of torque, the racer should stand up well against a field of gas-powered competitors.
Should the Skyactiv win Daytona, it'll be a coup for Mazda. The racer is running an engine with over 50 percent of its parts drawn from the oft-delayed production Skyactiv-D. Head up top for our full gallery of images of the new Skyactiv Prototype. The 2014 Rolex 24 will be run from January 25 to 26.
Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.
Mazda hard at work on Skyactiv 2 engine technology
Wed, 08 Jan 2014As Mazda continues the current rollout of its still-new Skyactiv technology, the automaker is already looking at improving its family of engines for even better fuel economy and emissions reductions. Automotive News reports that with stricter fuel economy and emissions regulations planned for 2020 and 2025 in Europe, Mazda will likely release engines with next-generation Skyactiv 2 technology by the end of this decade, and Skyactiv 3 units just five years later.
The latter is expected to focus on improved engine cooling and lessening energy losses, but the big news in AN's report is that the next-gen Skyactiv 2 engines will use Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI. This type of ignition is very similar to how a diesel engine operates (with high compression and using the compression stroke for fuel combustion rather than spark plugs), a method said to provide a cleaner and more efficient fuel burn - to the tune of a 30-percent improvement in fuel economy compared to current Skyactiv engines. Other automakers, including Hyundai, have already announced they are developing HCCI powerplants with similar technology and characteristics, so Mazda likely won't be a lone wolf here.
Equipped with HCCI technology, Mazda figures to be able to compete with larger automakers in terms of fuel economy and emissions without resorting to hybrid powertrains, continuously variable transmissions or automatics relying on more forward gears (eight or more) for optimal efficiency. Some of the challenges of HCCI, according to AN, include the need for better engine cooling, risk of misfire at high and low rpm and uneven engine performance based on fuel properties.
