"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

2014 Mazda6 earns Popular Mechanics' 'Car of the Year'

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

Ring one up for Mazda. The Japanese brand's midsize offering, the Mazda6, has been named Popular Mechanics' Car of the Year. The 6 received a comprehensive reworking for the 2014 model year that saw it adopt sleek, sexy sheet metal; a clean, logical interior; and powertrain technologies that allow it to net some of the best fuel economy available in a gas-powered, non-hybrid sedan.
Popular Mechanics praised the 6's Skyactiv 2.5-liter, 184-horsepower engine, as well as its agility and responsiveness during testing. It also remarked on the functional, but well designed cabin, and the degree of available technology.
"The Mazda6 really impressed us with how well it delivers so many things modern car owners want: great mileage, fun road-handling, upscale features and looks - and remarkable value," said Jim Meigs, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics.

Buy a Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, get a free day of driving school

Fri, Aug 19 2016

We know the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Fiat 124 Spider are basically the same car underneath. As we pointed out in our first drive of the 124 Spider, the two cater to different drivers, so it can be tough to choose a favorite. FCA has made deciding between the two sports cars a little harder, as it will offer Abarth owners a free day of high-performance driving instruction with their cars. Anyone buying or leasing a new Fiat 124 Spider Abarth or a Fiat 500 Abarth will get a free, one-day class at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Phoenix. Bundling driving school with brand-new performance cars isn't unheard of – Dodge and Bondurant recently announced a similar program for the Viper Â– but it is quite rare for vehicles priced below $30,000. The free session will include instructor-led skid, autocross, slalom, and team rally cross activities, in addition to hot laps. While the one-day course is included for free, travel, food, and hotel expenses aren't covered. Fiat-less people can also join in on the fun buy purchasing the Abarth experience separately. Bondurant one-day classes cost at least a grand, which makes the Fiat price of $0 a good deal as long as you can get yourself there relatively cheaply. But is this enough for drivers to choose the 124 Spider Abarth over an MX-5 Club? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Reminder: Come hang out with Autoblog and the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on Tuesday, May 19

Fri, May 15 2015

Do you love chilidogs, French fries, meeting new friends, and the world's most popular convertible? Do you live in Southeast Michigan? Do you like lists of questions? If you answered "yes" to any but the last of those, we'd like to invite you to a little get-together we're hosting next week. Driving impressions are still under embargo for the US-spec 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, but somehow we've conned convinced company PR reps to show the car to you, Joe Public Autoblog Reader. We're enthused about telling you more about the ND Miata, but before we do we'd love to share a Coke and talk about cars. Here's the skinny. A group of Autobloggers will be hanging out at the Athens Coney Island, in Royal Oak, MI, next Tuesday, May 19. We'll have the car on display from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and we'd love to see you. If you're a Miata owner, we'd also love to for you to bring your car along for the party. The more convertibles the better (just be prepared to have your picture taken). Go ahead and set your navi for Athens – 32657 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, MI 48073 ÂÂ– and we'll look forward to seeing you Tuesday. Mazda Geeks unite. Related Video:
