"My Bee" has been a wonderful car for my wife for the last 5 years. We are actually the second owners as the first owner was actually the dealer who kept the car at their vacation home for a year.  The second owner of record only put 9K miles on the car in the next 4 years.  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 but not pictured. 

 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 more grainy and less shiny.  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.

The interior is beautiful with the custom leather being in excellent shape.  There are no tears or scratches but only a very slight rubbed area in the crease of the drivers back and that is not really noticeable.  The rear seat has some depressions in it from the baby seat but they are disappearing.

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

We go Unplugged to celebrate Mazda Miata Month

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

Chances are good that you, loyal Autoblog reader, have long since chosen to follow us on Twitter and 'like' us on Facebook. (If you haven't, feel free to take a second and do so right now.) Anyway, if you're one of our social media posse, you might have already heard that we're smack dab in the middle of Miata Month. We've gotten Mazda to loan us a couple of MX-5 Miatas, allowing us to say a protracted, tear-filled goodbye to the current generation (NC) of the beloved roadster, just before it exits stage right and ushers in the next generation.
You'll see a few more Miata Month items here on Autoblog after we've said our final farewell, but we absolutely wanted to make sure we created some great video evidence of our month, as well. Right down below, then, in its unfiltered-audio splendor, is the Autoblog Unplugged version of the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT. Your author had a pretty great time wringing out the roadster for the creation of our short vid, and we really hope you dig listening along.

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000

Tue, 07 May 2013

There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club Edition sharpens, styles the new roadster

Thu, Apr 2 2015

One could argue that any iteration of the last-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata was worth having. But were it our money on the line, we'd have likely driven home with the Club, a simple trim that, for a reasonable $28,665 (for the retractable hardtop model), added a number of performance and aesthetic features. The 2016 MX-5 Miata Club Edition should prove to be a successful followup. Like last year's model, it adds a limited-slip differential, a retuned suspension with Bilstein shocks and a tower brace under the hood. On the aesthetic side of the game, 17-inch gunmetal wheels are included, along with a new rear spoiler and a front splitter. For those that demand an even sharper Club Edition, though, Mazda will also offer even lighter wheels, courtesy of BBS, along with Brembo brakes and the aero kit from the MX-5 Global Cup racer. Check out our full original post on the MX-5 Miata Club Edition, as well as a complete gallery of live images from the 2015 New York International Auto Show.

Lighter, smaller, quicker and more nimble than its predecessor, MX-5 has adopted Mazda's full suite of SKYACTIV Technology and KODO-Soul of Motion design. In the process, MX-5 has shed approximately 150 pounds from its predecessor, with a curb weight of 2,332 lbs. when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission (2,381 lbs. with the six-speed automatic transmission). The MX-5 Club heightens performance with trim-level exclusive: - 17-inch gunmetal alloy wheels wrapped in 205/45R17 tires - Limited-slip differential when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT - Bilstein shocks when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT - Shock tower brace when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT - Front air dam and rear lip spoilers Standard equipment on MX-5 Club models includes MAZDA CONNECTTM infotainment system with a seven-inch color touchscreen display and multi-function commander control, HD and SiriusXM Satellite Radio, two USB ports, piano black side mirrors and seatback bars and a nine-speaker Bose audio system with headrest speakers.
