The facts-
Yellow 2002 Mazda Pretege5 for sale roughly 118K miles. 5-speed. Power Everything. All-Weather Kuhmo ecsta tires. seeking $3349, WELL below the Kelley Blue Book, will entertain other offers. NO TRADES. Clear Title, clean carfax (it was in 2007 when I bought it and I haven't been in any accidents). 

The Good:

No major mechanical issues, have never had to do any work on the motor/drivetrain.

AC blows very cool, heat blows very hot.

Radio works, speakers were replaced with expensive component Blaupunkt 6.5s in the front, Orions in the back. 
Vehicle previously had an aftermarket deck and amps installed, I will include the deck mounting kit and wiring harness from that installation in case you want to replace the deck.

Front brake pads and rotors replaced in February.

Alternator belt and serpentine belt replaced this past spring as well.

Cruise, power locks, power windows, power moonroof and keyless entry all work perfectly. 

No rips, tears or stains in the interior upholstery. 

Clutch is still springy, transmission is very responsive.

Oil changed last week.

Tires are a year old with plenty of tread life left. 

I have at least 90% of the service records for the cars life. 

I have the roof racks (not pictured) for the car and will obviously include them. I took them off because I did not find them very useful. 

The Issues:
Car had some rust develop in the wheel wells, as Japanese cars of this age tend to do.. I blew the rust off, primed and painted the area, but i did not grind the area down or do any professional body work so you can see the texture/paint color mismatch there (see images).

Last summer someone cut my exhaust pipe to steal the catalytic converter. So the good news is that the Catalytic converter is about a year old, unfortunately they cut the exhaust manifold to get to it and my mechanic had to make the connection without the stock fittings. it works fine, but you hear a slight rattle at higher RPMs sometimes. does not affect anything, just a slight noise. Cannot even hear it with the radio on.

Car is 11 years old and a very bright color so it has its fair share of dings and marks throughout the body. The most major one is on the front right bumper where someone swiped me in a parking lot. I painted it (see photo) so there is a slight paint mismatch. 

Just noticed as I was cleaning it that the cap came of the front left foglight leaving it exposed... Im sure a replacement could be ordered from Mazda. Light still works (I usually leave them off unless it is foggy).

Thats it for issues, really runs like a dream for a car of this age and price.

That is about it, email me with additional questions. I have owned this car for over 6 years (I am the 3rd owner) and I have loved it the entire time. It is extremely fun to drive, gets great gas mileage (about 30 MPG) and is extremely practical. I am only selling because I have moved to NYC and will be relying on public transportation.

Thanks!!!

2014 Mazda3

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Almost by definition, affordable compact cars aren't supposed to be fun. Sure, hot hatches get our blood pumping, but not long ago, the terms "compact car" and "economy car" could safely be used interchangeably. A key exception for the last decade has been the Mazda3, a car that has consistently delivered more dynamic thrills and tactile feedback than its contemporaries. Competitors have picked up their game significantly in recent years, however, leaving the Mazda3 wanting in several areas, including overall refinement, in-car technology and cabin appointments, so Mazda went back to the drawing board to create this all-new third-gen model for 2014.
Including this redesigned 2014 model, Mazda's recent crop of new products have targeted North America's hottest non-truck segments - compact car, midsize sedan and compact crossover/SUV. Yet it might be fair to call this launch the most important of them all, as the 3 remains the Japanese marque's best-selling vehicle. While America's pool of compact hatchbacks isn't exactly deep, the 2014 Mazda3 still has a challenging road ahead of it competing against two-box compacts that include the popular Ford Focus and recent additions like the all-new Kia Forte and the still-new Hyundai Elantra GT.

2018 Mazda CX-5 gets cylinder deactivation, more standard features

Mon, Nov 27 2017

Mazda recently announced its new Mazda6 would feature two engines, one of which would be a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with cylinder deactivation. Now the company has revealed the 2018 Mazda CX-5 will also get cylinder deactivation on its sole 2.5-liter four-cylinder. For those curious, the system shuts off the cylinders on the ends of the engine to save fuel. Mazda also says that the engine has been updated in a number of other small areas to reduce friction and further improve efficiency. The company hasn't provided fuel economy numbers for the new engine, though. The updates for the CX-5 go beyond the powertrain, as all trim levels get more standard features. The base-level CX-5 Sport now comes with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic warning. The mid-level CX-5 Touring now has the i-Activsense safety feature suite standard, which includes automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist. This suite of features is also available as an option for the first time on the Sport model. The top-level CX-5 Grand Touring gets seat memory for two settings, as well as a power-adjustable passenger seat. These updates bring very minor increases in price. The Sport trim adds another $140 over the 2017 version. The Touring jumps the most, up $335. The Grand Touring model increases $285. You'll be able to find 2018 CX-5s soon, as Mazda says they'll be arriving at dealers December 2017.
