1999 Mazda Protege Es Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Champaign, Illinois, United States
|
For sale is a 1999 Mazda Protege ES (1.8L 4-Cyl engine) with manual transmission. Overall it is in fair condition.
The bad: The body has some rust (primarily around rear wheel wells) and couple small dents and scratches. The passenger sideview mirror can't be adjusted. The engine leaks some oil (which then falls onto a hot part of the engine and gets burnt up and kinda smells). The check engine light is on. There is a rattling noise when you go over bumps. The clutch slips at high rpms. The good: The car has low miles for a 15 yr old car. The engine runs well. The car drives well. Within the past few years the exhaust has been replaced, the starter has been replaced, the clutch has been replaced (though has some slippage issues), the transmission was replaced with a used transmission, and the battery is just a few months old. There have been other minor repairs but I don't remember what was fixed. This car is good for getting around town. I wouldn't recommend taking any long road trips with it though unless you get some work done on it, like getting the clutch fixed. It would make a good first car for someone or for someone to use until they can save up to get a better car. I have owned the car since 2010, I bought it used from a Honda dealership in Syracuse, NY. I am currently located in Champaign, IL. The title for the car is clean but is from NY state so keep in mind that when you purchase it you will have to transfer the title to IL. The Kelly Blue Book value is $1,353. I am asking for $1,200. |

Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru expand global Takata recalls by 715k [UPDATE]
Fri, May 22 2015UPDATE: Subaru of America spokesperson Michael McHale tells Autoblog that the company is recalling 78,000 Imprezas from the 2004 and 2005 model years in the US. This is a national expansion of the company's previous regional recall for the Impreza. The Takata airbag inflator recall just keeps growing. The latest expansion encompasses 715,000 vehicles from Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru. Many of the affected models are in Japan. The largest expansion from these three automakers comes from Mitsubishi. According to Reuters, the company is adding 100,000 vehicles in Japan and 412,000 outside of the country without identifying any specific regions. Mazda is issuing safety campaigns for 112,000 vehicles in Japan, and some of these include models that the company produces there for Mitsubishi and Nissan, according to Reuters. In statement to Autoblog (embedded below), Mazda said that it is still evaluating the situation in terms of a possible effect on the US. Finally, Subaru is calling in 91,000 Imprezas in Japan. At this time, it isn't clear whether Mitsubishi's or Subaru's expansions affect the United States, but Autoblog has reached out to them for more information. According to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, exposure to moisture can cause the propellant in these inflators to ignite too quickly and cause these dangerous ruptures. Takata has also been investigating the problem. Related Video: Mazda statement "We are aware of the NHTSA/Takata announcement, and are evaluating the effects of it on Mazda. As soon as we have had a chance to fully evaluate the situation – number of vehicles affected, age of those vehicles, where they're located, etc. – we will be able to share those details."

2015 Mazda2 spotted in Japanese magazine
Tue, 16 Jul 2013The styling changes at Mazda are proceeding at a fairly quick tempo. The CX-5 was unveiled, followed by a refreshed CX-9, the excellent Mazda6, and most recently a new Mazda3. This all happened over the course of less than two years, which in the auto industry is like a long week.
Now the Mazda2 is getting its revamp. Thanks to a magazine scan from Japan, we now have our first look at the new sub-compact, called the Demio, in its home market. Mazda's familial front end has been fitted, and it doesn't look quite as suited to the smaller car. Lacking the long-hood look of the Mazda3 and Mazda6, the new styling looks overly rounded, almost bulbous from our angle. It's still attractive, but the shape is kind of off-putting compared to the chiseled faces of the 2's big brothers. We'll concede that the folded magazine page may have something to do with it, however.
The next-generation 2 should adhere to Mazda's Skyactiv philosophy, which means we can expect a highly efficient four-cylinder engine, although it's impossible to say if Mazda will do away with its smallest offering's one-engine strategy. Considering the Mazda2 will be riding on a shortened version of the CX-5's platform, we'd expect some degree of mechanical parts sharing, regardless of how much the larger platform needs trimmed. Perhaps a detuned version of the 2.0-liter, Skyactiv four-cylinder could be under the 2's hood?
