You're bidding on a lightly driven 2002 Mazda Protege 5 with Mica Black paint and a black leather interior.

Yes, you read that correctly, this car only has 31,665 miles. 

I bought this car in 2002 and my work schedule resulted in the car being mostly driven only on weekends.

This car comes with pretty much all the possible options:  leather seats, powered moonroof, 4-speed auto "sport-mode" transmission, ABS and side airbags.  It also comes with a Mazda original car cover and the rims have wheel locks.

The engine runs smoothly and the ride is tight.  It's a fun car to drive and gets good gas mileage. I'm sad to let it go but at this point it costs me more to park it in the city for a year than it does to sell it.

The paint is in good shape and the car has always had a solid waxing.  

The interior is in excellent condition. All carpets and leather seats are in really great shape. The passenger and rear seat floor mats are pristine. I just didn't drive it enough to wear out the passenger or back seats.

The trunk has always been protected by a Mazda trunk liner and is pristine.

I installed a Pioneer AVIC-D3 Navigation System in the car along with a Pioneer Bluetooth module.  The maps come on two DVDs and are the latest available. It is an awesome system and integrates tightly with Apple devices (via a 30-pin cable) or any other device via Bluetooth.  I also installed a high quality Nokia MP-2 external microphone on the driver-side door pillar.  Hands-free conversations work really well with this mic.  The system also supports DVD video playback.

The car received four new tires, spark plugs, transmission fluid, brake fluid and an A/C recharge at ~26,700 before a cross-country drive.  The tires are in great shape and have plenty of tread.  The A/C blows cold.  I just replaced the front windshield wipers this week.

Parts I've replaced over the years: an alternator, a couple batteries, tires, rotors, pads, header pipe and an EGR valve.  All paperwork has been kept. Oil has been changed religiously and by calendar and not by mileage.

I uninstalled the roof rack a couple years ago.  All parts were kept and it can be easily reattached.

I've included plenty of pics. The car was parked on the street in its early years and received its obligatory bumper scratches from parallel parking.  Since then the car has been garaged in Seattle for the last few years.  Therefore the only wear and tear to be aware of is the bumpers being scratched up from typical east coast parallel parking.  There are also some fine scratches on the lip of the front hood, above the left wheel well and on the gas door.  There are two tiny dents on the left side as well.  On the driver side door pillar there is some small bubbling and the foam piping is worn.  The last five pics show these blemishes.  

I hope this car finds a good home!  

Good luck bidding.

Mazda CX-30 'just right' crossover will head from Geneva into production

Tue, Mar 5 2019

As more and more customers move into the crossover segment, the less the segment is one-size-fits-all, or even three-sizes-fit-all. As such, Mazda has taken the opportunity at the Geneva Motor Show to offer a new, "just right" crossover to its lineup. The 2019 Mazda CX-30, as it's called, slots between the diminutive CX-3 and the compact CX-5 crossovers. The CX-30 shares the "Kodo" (meaning "soul of motion") design language Mazda does so well, and the execution here is excellent, too. We love the long hood and simple but elegant curves, the way the light reflects off the sides in dramatic waves. Its no surprise that Mazda chose its Soul Red Crystal to show off the new model. Mazda says it had four goals for the CX-30, two of which had to do with the size of the vehicle. It needed to be small enough to be highly maneuverable, so that drivers wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere they need to go, but it also had to be roomy enough to provide a comfortable space for multiple passengers to easily enjoy one another's company. Mazda wanted the design to "embody the joy of owning something that matches your sensibilities." Finally, it had to perform in a way to provide peace of mind and a relaxing driving experience. Mazda will offer the CX-30 with its Skyactiv-G 2.0 gasoline engine with cylinder deactivation, Skyactiv-D 1.8 diesel engine and its new Skyactiv-X engine with gasoline compression ignition. Both gasoline engines will use Mazda's mild hybrid technology to help improve fuel economy without sacrificing performance. The CX-30 will also be offered with Mazda's I-Activ all-wheel drive and G-Vectoring Control Plus for maximum grip and stability. It will be available with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The CX-30 is equipped with a driver monitoring system to improve safety using an infrared LED and camera to watch the driver's face for signs of drowsiness or inattentiveness. It'll alert the driver to pay attention, and will sound the braking alert earlier. Other active safety systems include available Front Cross Traffic Alert and Cruising & Traffic Support, the latter of which will employ accelerator, brake pedal and steering operations in traffic jams to help avert driver fatigue. Mazda hasn't said whether it will offer the CX-30 outside of the European market. Related Video:

Patent application suggests Mazda rotary return

Mon, Apr 4 2016

A recent patent application by Mazda reveals that the Japanese automaker is still working on the rotary engine. This could in fact be the Skyactiv-R engine found in the RX-Vision concept from the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. As with anything Wankel-related, nothing is certain until Mazda makes a production commitment. But this filing suggests that serious development is happening in Hiroshima. The 2011 Mazda RX-8 was the last rotary-powered car you could buy in America. Slow sales, poor fuel economy, and tighter emissions standards prevented Mazda from committing to a follow-up. But the fundamental principles of the rotary - compact size and light weight - perfectly fit Mazda's Skyactiv ethos. (For an explanation of how rotaries work, click here.) In this new engine the intake port sits at the bottom of the engine with the exhaust port on top instead of the other way around. That allows for lower mounting, which improves a car's center of gravity. This rotary is also turbocharged. Putting the turbo up high helps ensure it doesn't get in the way of any body or chassis crossmembers. The implication of those claims is that somebody is thinking about how to put this engine in a car. There are other benefits as well. The short path from the exhaust port to the turbo ensures minimal turbo lag. It also allows for a close-mounted catalyst on top of the enigne, which will help emissions. Another innovation in this new engine is a triangle-shaped rotor that covers part of the exhaust port. This allows for different exhaust flow characteristics. The filing claims that that two of the four orientations allow for less airflow resistance in the exhaust port. As in previous Mazda rotaries, there are two spark plugs to manage ignition timing and combustion. But unlike in the 16X concept, Mazda's last public display of such an engine, the new rotary uses port fuel injection. Keep in mind this is only a patent application. A Mazda spokesperson refused to comment on future product, but commented "As we stated at the Tokyo motor show, Mazda is doing all that it can to bring a rotary to the market." In the meantime, keep your RX-7 prayer candles lit and hope for the return of the rotary before the end of the decade. You can bide your time by reading the entire application here.

2020 Mazda CX-30 Review & Buying Guide | The new sporty

Thu, Mar 12 2020

Is it a sporty crossover? Is it a tall hatchback? However you want to view it, the new 2020 Mazda CX-30 is a compelling new entry that delivers the sort of engaging driving experience and premium cabin environment you get in the company's 3 hatchback, but with the higher seating position of a crossover. Basically, if that Mazda3 had a child with the bigger CX-5, this is pretty much what you'd get, and we have to say it's a pretty good kid.   In terms of size, the CX-30 fits into a niche of in-betweener SUVs that slots between compact models like the CX-5 (plus the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, etc.) and sub-compact ones like the Mazda CX-3 (plus the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, etc.). If you don't have small children, and the car seats and strollers that come with them, it's a size that should make sense. The price is compelling too, especially when you consider the CX-30's high-end cabin and just how terrific it is to drive. With its tautly tuned chassis, communicative steering and sharp throttle response, the best words to describe it are "budget Porsche." Now, we should note that the Mazda3 is even better to drive and pretty much offers the same cabin space, design and quality. We also think it looks better. Nevertheless, people like sitting up high, and the CX-30 definitely satisfies that requirement. What's new for 2020? The Mazda CX-30 is an all-new model. What's the CX-30's interior and in-car technology like? Like the Mazda3 with which it shares so much, the CX-30's cabin makes you go "wow" considering its price and the vehicles with which it competes. Whatever trim level you're considering, the key to this wow factor is how Mazda's new dash design scheme removes visual clutter by reducing switchgear and effectively hiding air vents and door handles. It's then augmented by standard two- or three-tone color schemes – cars with cloth or leatherette vinyl upholstery are accented with black and blue dash/door trim, while those with leather get black and brown. For a car in the $20,000-$30,000 range, it looks and feels special. It's also of a high quality and quite functional. The steering wheel, which looks sensational, is an absolute treat to hold and has intelligently designed buttons/switches for the infotainment and cruise controls. There's considerable center console space, including a configurable under-armrest bin, and a decently sized forward bin for a smartphone.
