2003 Mazda Protege5 Base Hatchback 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Dayton, Ohio, United States
|
The car comes with a lot of extras, but I am willing to negotiate if you don't want certain things. This car has been a daily driver all its life, so it has normal signs of wear and tear. It will make a good, functional, and reliable daily driver for years to come. It is also a really fun car to drive and will offer plenty of enjoyment along with the practicability of a hatchback and great gas mileage.
The car has 131,xxx miles and runs perfect. I drove it out to California and back last year with zero issues and would do it again. It has a cold air intake, OBX racing header, Yakima 2 bike rack, short throw shifter, lowering springs, 17" Enkei wheels with Yokohama s-drive 215's (about 10,000 mostly highway miles on tires). It also includes the stock wheels with snow tires installed, one extra pirelli snow tire, and a mazdaspeed muffler (not installed because I do a lot of highway driving and didn't want the extra noise). I did the timing belt, water pump, and spark plugs 10k miles ago. Calipers/rotor/pads/front spindles replaced in the summer of 2011 (about 30k miles ago). New rear strut mounts installed last week. New passenger rear wheel hub/bearing installed today. This is an Ohio car that has been a year-round daily driver, so it does have normal Mazda fender rust issues and a other rust spots starting to form on the rockers and hatch. The rubber bushing on the passenger motor mound is cracking and will need to be replaced. Blue Book value in 'Fair' condition is $3750 and that is all stock no extras. |

Mazda2 with extended-range hybrid rotary tech shown
Mon, 23 Dec 2013Every story dealing with a new rotary engine from Mazda lands in a different place on the matrix of possibilities between "Coming soon!" and "Never gonna happen!" In 2011 it was speculated that the rotary engineering program would be shut down with the demise of the RX-8, in 2012 the program was still alive and taking lessons from the SkyActiv engines, in August 2013 a Mazda insider said a rotary engine called 16X would be here in two years, in November the CEO said the only way we'd ever get a new rotary is if Mazda could sell 100,000 of them per year. Meaning that, for the moment, you can forget about it.
And yet, last month Mazda was putting journalists in a Mazda2 RE Range Extender, an electric car using a 0.33-liter rotary to power its lithium-ion batteries when the charge runs down. With a 75-kilowatt, 100-horsepower electric motor turning the front wheels, the Wankel generator and its 2.6-gallon gas tank living under the trunk double the range of the electric-only Mazda2 to 250 miles.
There's been talk of using a rotary to assist an alt-fuel vehicle for at least seven years, with Mazda pairing an electric motor with a rotary that ran on gas and hydrogen in a Mazda5 in 2007. Since then, almost all of those stories debating its return or demise also spoke of the oddball motor's advantages, such as compact size and ability to run on various fuels, as an aid in an unconventional powertrain.
Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.
Mazda2 nets Japan Car of the Year, Cherokee first US model to ever crack top 10
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The 2015 Mazda2 is quite high up on our must-drive list. Yes, the teeny, tiny successor to the 100-horsepower five-door is worth getting excited over, largely because the previous generation was one of the absolute best smiles-per-dollar values on the market.
While we eagerly await for our opportunity to take to the 2's helm, our expectations of the new car have just been heightened thanks to its win in Japan's Car of the Year competition. Called "Demio" in the land of the rising sun, Japanese journalists handed out Mazda's second COTY award since the CX-5 took the title in 2012.
In more surprising news, the new Jeep Cherokee has made the list of 10 Best Cars in Japan. The Jeep's triumph marks the first time an American car has cracked the top ten, finishing eighth. It's not, however, the first Fiat Chrysler vehicle to snag the title, following in the footsteps of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Panda. Still, the fact that an American brand can make such impressive inroads into the traditionally tough-to-crack Japanese market is a seriously big deal.
