I enjoyed logging 3,ooo miles since purchasing it and can honestly say it runs perfect! Everything electronic works and doesn't leak a drop of anything. I even have most of the service records from the original owner as well as the original window sticker and owners manual binder as well as my own personal receipts that go with the sale.

When I purchased the van it had a check engine light for a misfire code. Apparently, two of the six coil packs that fire the spark plugs were not doing their job and as a result, damaged two of the four catalytic converters which triggered the check engine code and prevented it from passing emissions inspection.
In addition to correcting the fore mentioned issues, I wanted to be able to completely trust the van for my own family so I went over the entire vehicle myself. I replaced everything that wasn't up to snuff with new TOP OF THE LINE parts from ROCKAUTO and the help of my local mechanic.

Here's the laundry list of parts that were either about to fail or failing that I replaced and have the receipts to prove it!

All work was done within the last 3k miles...
  • new battery $100
  • oil pan gasket $50
  • both front axles $130
  • K&N air filter $50
  • new Mazda gas cap $30
  • Bosch ICON wiper blades $50
  • K&N oil filter w synthetic oil $70
  • transmission fluid flush and fill $75
  • mass airflow sensor $100
  • all weather floor mats $210
  • water pump, belt & tensioner $120
  • coolant flush and fill $50
  • 6 platinum spark plugs $30
  • 6 new coil packs $350
  • new upper plenum gaskets $40
  • 4 new cooper tires w alignment $750
  • Raybestos front rotors and pads $150
  • exhaust manifold catalysts & secondary catalysts w flex pipe, gaskets and all four oxygen sensors $1,700
  • Viper long range remote start system w lock/unlock $300
RECEIPTS TOTAL=$4,355 NOT INCLUDING LABOR EVERYTHING IS DONE, GET IN AND GO!

The van runs and drives perfect with no issues at all and urge anyone who is looking for a low cost, very reliable and family friendly people mover to come by and see/drive this one for yourself. Cold A/C and hot heat with remote start for getting it warmed up and toasty for those cold mornings coming soon.

The van had an aftermarket VCR installed on the floor between the front seats that powered the monitor in the ceiling but was broken so I removed the VCR but left the monitor for the next owner to get going again with a more modern DVD player.

NO disappointments with this one!

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Bauer Catfish is a Miata-based trackstar in the making [w/videos]

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

We're not trying to make a joke here. The creation you see above really is called the Bauer Catfish, and while the name is about as attractive as your average bottom feeder, the car itself is built on a sexy notion. Take the mechanical bits of one 1990-2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata, add in a tube chassis for as little weight as possible, complete with some custom body work and go forth. Bauer says the finished product weighs in at just 1,550 pounds, and the company will be happy to pull the stock four-cylinder to drop in a healthy General Motors LS V8.
The pre-production prototype shown above competed in last year's 25 Hours of Thunderhill, finished the race and earned a spot on the podium in the "anything goes for sports racers" ESR class. Very cool.
If you're looking for a dedicated track car, it may not get any better than this for the money. Expect to pay around $13,900 depending on options, plus the cost of your donor Miata. That's a good sight cheaper than a used Chevy Corvette Z06 and likely to be quite a bit more fun. After you're done watching it in action in the brief videos below, check it out over at Bauer Ltd.

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
