2001 Mazda MPV Minivan
Mileage: Approximately 99,000
**Maintenance Summary -
Routine oil changes every 5,000 miles.
Transmission Flush every 45,000. (Two flushes so far over the life of the vehicle) - No varnish buildup in transmission gearbox or torque converter.
Coolant flush every 6 seasons (3 year intervals - California seasons consist of "Hot" and "Cooler"). New radiator installed in February of 2011.
**Wearable items Maintenance -
New tires in January of 2012 - Approximately 7,000 miles since replacement - rotated after 5,000 miles when I put new brakes on.
New Battery, headlights and brake lights in Summer of 2012
New Brakes in September of 2012 (Approximately 2,000 miles since replacement)
** DAMAGE to Car
Rear passenger side door - scraped and slightly dented
Other small little dings in front passenger door (size of a penny)
** Corrective Maintenance needed to be performed:
The van has a slight coolant leak. I am not sure exactly where its coming from, but I suspect the water pump. Our plan is to keep the expansion tank filled (with de-mineralized water) until we plan to get rid of the car. I have been checking the coolant reservoir every week to make sure levels are where they need to be.
**Overall interior appearance
The interior has aged quite well. We perform an annual steam clean of the carpets immediately following the summer beach season.
**General Ride and Comfort
The ride of the car is quite smooth. The alignment is perfect and both air conditioning units (front and rear) work great. I replace the cabin filter every four years and there is no mildew smell at all out of the vents when the A/C units are used. The onboard entertainment system works well (VHS tape player) and the radio/CD player system does too. the minivan has custom OEM rims sized for P205/65/R15 tires and has lived in a garage for approximately 9 1/2 out of the 11 years we have owned the vehicle; so the paint job isn't oxidized.

2014 Mazda3 Sedan
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Playing Favorites
We're not going to beat around the bush: for the kind of person who willfully chooses to take longer, windier and more scenic routes to get to Point B, the 2014 Mazda3 is the new compact car measuring stick by which others will be judged. That doesn't, of course, make it the right choice for every buyer.
We'll spend the next thousand words or so explaining the whys and hows that make our opening statement a fact, but for now, suffice it to say that Mazda has engineered its latest crop of vehicles - namely the CX-5, Mazda6 and its smaller sibling and subject of this test, the Mazda3 - from the ground up. Absolutely everything about the Mazda3 is refined for 2014, from its chassis to its engines and everything in between, and it was done in a completely new and holistic way. Every component, subcomponent and stamping required to bolt and weld together an automobile was rethought to ensure the Mazda3 has what it takes to compete with such established benchmarks as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus.
Mazda MX-5 GT gets green light
Fri, 18 Oct 2013The Mazda MX-5 Miata is as popular around the Autoblog offices as Kate Upton posters are around fraternity houses. Few staffers have much criticism for Mazda's ubiquitous roadster, and fewer still aren't overjoyed when one arrives in their driveway. So you can imagine how a report from Auto Express about a more potent MX-5 model is going over in our offices today.
The new model, which was shown in concept form as the Mazda MX-5 GT at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, has a slight catch, though. First, we have absolutely no idea if Mazda will bring the MX-5 GT to the US. Secondly, and perhaps more problematically, this isn't a production car - it's a kit from the team at Jota Sport.
Now, to be fair, the kit doesn't sound like a bad thing. It bumps the UK-spec 2.0-liter, 157-horsepower engine up to 203 hp thanks to a sports exhaust and a revamped ECU (46 horsepower from an ECU and exhaust in a naturally aspirated car?). To make the little Miata even more agile, Jota has also fiddled with the suspension. AE doesn't mention things like the grippy tires or Recaro seats that were found on the concept, though.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
