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.

Mazda on sales upswing in Europe but won't build there
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Auto sales in Europe have been a tricky proposition for some years, but Mazda has seen some success on the backs of the CX-5 and new Mazda6. According to a report form Automotive News Europe, though, that doesn't mean we should be looking for the Japanese manufacturer to set up production operations there.
Mazda's European CEO, Jeff Guyton, explained to AN that "Our intention is to have manufacturing scale. That gives you scale economy and quality through repeatability." In other words, a big honking plant in one part of the world is preferable to a half dozen small factories building the same vehicles.
European sales for Mazda are up 5.4 percent in the first half of 2013, with 74,000 units sold. That kicked the Zoom-Zoom brand's market share up from one to 1.2 percent. Small gains, but gains nonetheless. According to Guyton, Mazda would need to sell 200,000 units of just one model in Europe for local production to make sense. Mazda's best European year saw 320,000 units sold across the entire range.
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.
44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above
Mon, 16 Jun 2014We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.
