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 CX-5 in auto-brake accident on Japanese test drive
Thu, 14 Nov 2013As we slowly march towards a world where our cars will drive for us, there will be mishaps. Systems will act up, not behave has intended or we'll simply forget to turn them on. We all remember when Volvo tested the S60's City Safety system. Now Mazda has had an issue of its own.
During a test of a Mazda CX-5's Smart City Brake Support on a dealership lot in Japan, a prospective customer and a dealership employee were injured when they hit a urethane barrier used for testing the system. According to Bloomberg, which spoke with the Saitama Prefectural Police, the impact with the barrier left the customer with an injured neck while the dealership employee suffered a fractured arm. Considering the injuries, we imagine this wasn't a small barrier.
"For any safety function, it's impossible to be 100-percent free of accidents. These technical functions aren't always the easiest to understand," IHS Automotive auto parts analyst, Hiroshi Ataka told Bloomberg.
Top Gear recounts the fiery demise of the Mazda Furai
Mon, 02 Dec 2013This past September we reported on Top Gear's destruction of the Mazda Furai, one of the finest concept cars to ever grace an auto show stage. It turns out that the Furai, which was burned nearly beyond recognition at the hands of the British magazine, was actually destroyed back in 2008, and that the entire thing had been covered up for five long years.
Now, a few months after publishing that heart-wrenching composite of a half-baked Furai (shown above), the lads at TG have published their account of just what resulted in a priceless concept car being transformed into a smoking hulk on a Suffolk runway. Click over to read the full story about just what happened, along with pictures of the Furai before, during and after the inferno.
Mazda3 diesel under consideration for US, hybrid not so much
Thu, 27 Jun 2013It's been a long time coming, but we finally clapped our eyes on the real deal, officially official 2014 Mazda3 in hatchback form yesterday. Yet there's a lot more to learn about this next-generation version of what has always been one of our favorite compacts. We know that the US version will come with one of two Skyactiv engines, but what about alternatives? Will there be any... or will the gasoline-fed four-cylinders be powerful and frugal enough to carry the day?
According to Automotive News, the answer is a definite maybe. Mazda North America CEO Jim O'Sullivan has told the trade publication that his employer will consider adding the company's well-liked 2.2-liter Skyactiv diesel powerplant to the model down the road. However, the company first wants to see how the engine fares with American consumers in its big-brother Mazda6 sedan, a model that goes on sale later this year. As for a potential Mazdaspeed3 successor, mum is still the word.
Anything else? Uncharacteristically, Mazda will build a hybrid model of its new 3. We say "uncharacteristically," because the Japanese independent has long shied away from gas-electric powertrain tech. In fact, it's gone so far as to boldly announce its aversion to the technology, with auto show banners proclaiming "Not Electric. Not Hybrid. Not A Drag To Drive." Despite all that, this new generation of Mazda3 will in fact be the company's first full hybrid production model. According to AN, however, O'Sullivan says that the company has "no plans" to sell it in the US.
