"My Bee" has been a wonderful car for my wife for the past 5 years and has given us no mechanical problems.   We are the second owners.  The exceptional condition of this gas sipping 4 cylinder wagon will please it's next owner.  It has a smooth shifting 5 speed manual transmission, front wheel drive, power steering, and has a peppy engine which gets over 30 mpg on the highway.  The A/C keeps you cool in the summer and the soft custom black/yellow leather seats will keep you comfortable all year.  Custom floor mats and cargo mat were installed to protect the carpets and brighten the interior while matching the  soft custom leather seats.  A custom fitted plastic cargo tray is included in the sale. 

 Last year we replaced the front and rear brakes with Hawk HPS pads, Stoptech cross drilled rotors, and new braided lines.  We replaced all of the struts with new Tokico HP struts and alignment.  We also replaced the prior custom wheels with Stinger wheels and Hankook tires.  All belts were also replaced at that time.  The result is a wagon that handles like a dream without losing comfort and does it quietly.  We invested in these items as we were going to keep the car for a long time but a change in jobs has made it necessary to buy a newer, larger, and more expensive wagon for my wife.

All of the power options are in operating condition.  The C/D changer skips and should be replaced but the stereo radio works fine.  The interior door lock switch has moved slightly in it's channel (shown in picture of the interior drivers door) and still operates the locks well.  A known problem with the Prot'eg'e is that the headlights (inexpensive) seem to blow out  more often than most cars and is true with this Prot'eg'e. They are OK now.

The exterior is in exceptional condition with a couple of exceptions.  I pictured two small chips in the paint about the size of a pin head.  One is on the driver side rear door and the other is on the edge of the driver side front wheel lip.  I will touch these up before you buy the car.  There is an area where the paint is scratched in front of the passenger front wheel.  It is hard to see (even in the pictures in this ad) as most of it is below the visible part of the body.  Again this will be touched up before the car is sold.  My camera took great pictures but they are too large for ebay and these pictures were taken by my phone and are grainy.  Contact me to get better pictures if needed.  I am very picky about the looks and functionality of our cars and want to be honest about their condition.  You will appreciate the condition of this car and enjoy it for years.

Any questions...just give me a ring at 314-359-2002.  I have priced it to sell fast so don't hesitate to call with your questions.    Mick

Mazda6 diesel delayed until April

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Diesel enthusiasts waiting on the new Skyactiv-D-powered Mazda6 will have to wait a bit longer. The shapely fuel-efficient four-door has just had its North American launch pushed back to April, due to delays in emissions testing. Mazda had originally planned to launch the Mazda6 diesel before the end of this year, making the four- to five-month delay a rather serious one.
Mazda's senior vice president of US operations, Robert Davis, told Mazda employees in a letter obtained by Automotive News that, "final certification testing - the results of which are looking encouraging - is taking longer than we had initially expected." Following this letter, Mazda made an official announcement:
"The on-sale date for Mazda6 SKYACTIV-D clean-diesel has been moved to late-Spring 2014, to accommodate final emissions testing and certification. We are pleased with the ongoing development and are excited to launch this much-anticipated vehicle in North America. 2014 Mazda6 sales continue to exceed both our expectations and our production abilities, and supplies of the car are short at dealers across the U.S. More information on the SKYACTIV-D clean diesel Mazda6 will be available closer to the on-sale date."

Mazda CX-5 in auto-brake accident on Japanese test drive

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

As we slowly march towards a world where our cars will drive for us, there will be mishaps. Systems will act up, not behave has intended or we'll simply forget to turn them on. We all remember when Volvo tested the S60's City Safety system. Now Mazda has had an issue of its own.
During a test of a Mazda CX-5's Smart City Brake Support on a dealership lot in Japan, a prospective customer and a dealership employee were injured when they hit a urethane barrier used for testing the system. According to Bloomberg, which spoke with the Saitama Prefectural Police, the impact with the barrier left the customer with an injured neck while the dealership employee suffered a fractured arm. Considering the injuries, we imagine this wasn't a small barrier.
"For any safety function, it's impossible to be 100-percent free of accidents. These technical functions aren't always the easiest to understand," IHS Automotive auto parts analyst, Hiroshi Ataka told Bloomberg.

Mazda plans a new crossover for 2021

Sat, Nov 25 2017

If Mazda is going to increase sales, it's going to need more crossovers. According to company CEO Masamichi Kogai, a new crossover that won't cannibalize sales of the CX-3, CX-5, and CX-9 is coming in 2021, to be built at the new U.S. factory Mazda is building in partnership with Toyota. The plant will be able to build 150,000 vehicles per year, and that full capacity will be reserved for the new CUV. With 112,235 units sold, Mazda's best-selling vehicle in the United States last year was, not surprisingly, the CX-5. With that in mind, it seems a safe bet that the new crossover will be a replacement for the discontinued CX-7 to slot above the CX-5 and below the CX-9. Kogai told Automotive News that the vehicle will be designed for America and built exclusively in the States. "We are actually going to introduce a totally new and different type of SUV," said Kogai. We don't know exactly what that means, but we hope the new model line follows Mazda's tradition of crossovers that are more fun to drive than their main competitors. Related Video:
