This car has a clean Carfax and I am only the second owner. It was always dealer serviced and never in an accident. There are no rips or tears in the seats, and no stains anywhere, nor any cracks in the dash or door panels. This has also always been a non-smoker’s car. It runs and drives like a three year old car; you can't even tell that it has 255,000+ miles on the chassis. This can partially be attributed to the engine having been replaced 38,000 miles ago with an identical engine that had about 88,000 miles, so this motor only has about 128,000 miles on it now. With the engine the radiator, all the filters, and a water pump were also replaced and a full tune-up was done. About 500 miles ago the front brake rotors and pads were replaced with new drilled and slotted rotors and semi-metallic pads, and a full adjustment was done of all the brakes. The alternator was replaced with a new one a couple years ago when the old one died, and all four tires are basically new, with about 5000 miles on the rear two and 1000 on the front two. Besides that, I added two remotes that control the door locks electrically, and also can remote start the engine. The radio was replaced with a Clarion receiver that has AM/FM, Bluetooth, a single CD slot, plus a remote and removable face-plate, and all four speakers were replaced with new ones. Everything in it works well, and no one would have any problem driving it under any conditions and over any distance. The car will regularly get 34 MPG on the highway, and will cruise at 70 MPH all day. The car is fully serviced, needs nothing, and is ready to go with no extra money having to be spent on anything. Please notice the Autocheck score for cars like this is within the range of 11-31, and this car scores a 40...this should tell you that this is the car to buy!

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
