 Here are the things are wrong with the car:
1.- 3erd pops out of gear, most likely cause: synchronizer. All other speeds are fine. (tired of belonging to the 2nd to 4th club)
2.- Difficulty filling up gas tank, most like cause: bad carbon canister, allows gas to fill hose that brings fumes to catalytic converter, therefore, air doesn't evacuate gas tank fast enough (eBay = $14.60)
3.- Esthetics: Rust on 4 wheel wells (some more than others) see pics. , a couple on corner of hood, dent on drivers door, front bumper (you can also notice these on the pictures, even when I don't have close ups). Hood and roof paint is dull

Now the good:
Absolutely everything works as it should, "EVERYTHING". No oil leaks, no warning lights on, no strange noises, no overheating, over 50% life on tires ( front tires, top rated by consumer reports, 205/50ZR-16 Continental ExtremeContact DWS ), driven only about 22,000 in almost 4 years and never, ever had a problem with the car leaving me stranded....by the way, rear sits fold absolutely flat
New battery (should give you at least 3 more years of life, not a cheap one,passenger side front and rear calipers changed.

This car is sold "AS IS", no warranties of any kind, pick up only.

Please, feel free to contact me with any questions or  for and appointment to look at the car and test drive (D. L. required)

Mazda Hazumi concept gets punchy, comes out of its corner early

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

The official images Mazda Hazumi concept, which previews the next-generation Mazda2, have leaked out from Chinese website Auto.sohu.com ahead of its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
The subcompact, four-door hatchback shows off Mazda's Kodo design language in its smallest size yet. Hazumi means "bound" or "spring up" in Japanese, and it is meant to look like it is packed with energy. It is a very attractive little concept and hopefully points to a more stylish face for the next-generation Mazda2.
Mazda has not unveiled the full details about the concept yet, but in a previous release, it said for the car is using a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine. While Mazda has not officially said that the Hazumi shows the next Mazda2, it did say in its earlier release that it "points the way to the future" for the brand's small cars. Reading between the lines isn't too difficult, then.

Mazda working on lithium-ion batteries to replace lead-acid starter batteries

Mon, Mar 19 2018

In the quest for ever better fuel economy, car companies are looking for every single advantage possible, no matter how small. This is evident in everything from active grille shutters to the 48-volt mild-hybrid electric assist systems like that in the new Ram 1500. For Mazda, the latest target for potential efficiency gains is the lowly 12-volt starter battery. The company announced that it is partnering with two other companies, ELIIY Power and Ube Industries, to develop a lithium-ion starter battery that would be used on mainstream models in place of conventional lead-acid units. Mazda plans to have them ready for use by 2021. The advantage here would be that 12-volt lithium-ion batteries would be much smaller and lighter than the lead-acid ones they replace. And lighter cars don't need as much fuel to move around. Plus, as an added benefit, making cars lighter also often makes them faster and better handling. This is why companies such as Lotus and Porsche have offered optional lithium-ion 12-volt batteries for some lightweight sports cars. A potential downside to the use of these batteries is increased cost. Lead-acid batteries from your local parts store will run you between $100 to $150. AGM batteries could be between $200 and $300. As for lithium-ion batteries, Lotus introduced the option on the Evora 400 in 2016, and the option cost $1,690. Odds are that a company such as Mazda won't be absorbing all those costs, meaning that the cost of these future Mazdas could increase with a change from lead-acid to lithium ion. Related Video:
