"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

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata reveal to be livestreamed, feature Duran Duran

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

We're all hungry like the wolf to see the unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, but Mazda is seriously excited about taking the sheet of its latest droptop because it has 1980s New Wave act Duran Duran headlining the event. In case you can't make it to Monterey, CA, Tokyo or Barcelona to watch the reveal happen, the brand is also livestreaming it on YouTube starting at 6:00 PM PT (9:00 PM ET). The Miata is then showing its all-new face again during the broadcast of Fashion Rocks on CBS on September 9 at 9:00 PM ET.
Facts about the new MX-5 have remained elusive, but we saw its bare chassis at the 2014 New York show. The roadster was rumored to return to the classic oval grille from the earlier models and also shed a decent amount of weight over the current version, possibly around 300 pounds.
Don't worry about noting the big reveal in your calendars, though. Not only will Autoblog be in attendance in Monterey to hear Simon Le Bon belt out Rio, we will also publish another post linking to the livestream before the unveiling. In the meantime, scroll down to read Mazda's announcement and check out the link to the stream, which just shows a countdown at the moment.

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014



Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.

Toyota and Mazda set to expand partnership

Mon, May 11 2015

Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.
