2003 Mazda Protege5 Base Hatchback 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Dayton, Ohio, United States
The car comes with a lot of extras, but I am willing to negotiate if you don't want certain things. This car has been a daily driver all its life, so it has normal signs of wear and tear. It will make a good, functional, and reliable daily driver for years to come. It is also a really fun car to drive and will offer plenty of enjoyment along with the practicability of a hatchback and great gas mileage.
The car has 131,xxx miles and runs perfect. I drove it out to California and back last year with zero issues and would do it again. It has a cold air intake, OBX racing header, Yakima 2 bike rack, short throw shifter, lowering springs, 17" Enkei wheels with Yokohama s-drive 215's (about 10,000 mostly highway miles on tires). It also includes the stock wheels with snow tires installed, one extra pirelli snow tire, and a mazdaspeed muffler (not installed because I do a lot of highway driving and didn't want the extra noise). I did the timing belt, water pump, and spark plugs 10k miles ago. Calipers/rotor/pads/front spindles replaced in the summer of 2011 (about 30k miles ago). New rear strut mounts installed last week. New passenger rear wheel hub/bearing installed today. This is an Ohio car that has been a year-round daily driver, so it does have normal Mazda fender rust issues and a other rust spots starting to form on the rockers and hatch. The rubber bushing on the passenger motor mound is cracking and will need to be replaced. Blue Book value in 'Fair' condition is $3750 and that is all stock no extras. |

We go Unplugged to celebrate Mazda Miata Month
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Chances 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.
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata first engine shot revealed
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We've dug deep for just about every scrap of 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata info available out of the car's California reveal celebration, but powertrain particulars have been especially hard to come by. While we still don't have engine specifications, the folks over at Autoweek have scored a nice scoop - the first underhood photos of one of the display cars.
In the image above, the ND-generation Miata is clearly shown to be powered by a Skyactiv inline four-cylinder, as expected, but its displacement remains unclear. The engine is most likely either the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine offered in low-end Mazda3 and CX-5 models or the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G found in those same vehicles' upper trims. In those iterations, the 2.0-liter generates 155 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque, while the larger-displacement engine nets out at 184 hp and 185 lb-ft. There is no sign of a turbocharger, a feature rumored to be fitted to at least one test mule. There has also been previous rumors of a 1.5-liter Skyactiv engine, possibly for overseas markets.
The 2.0-liter strikes us as the most likely scenario, particularly as Mazda has worked diligently to save every gram in the new car, dropping a pledged 100 kilograms (220 pounds) over the current model, even while adding content. It's entirely possible that the alleged turbo car was, in fact, a mule for the Miata's Alfa Romeo sister car, which is expected to have a wholly different powertrain. Or it could simply be a second engine option for an eventual Mazdaspeed variant, perhaps.
Mazda delays US launch of Skyactiv-D engine
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Japanese automakers haven't lead the charge towards diesel power in the same way as, say, the Germans have. But Mazda is out to change that. It has been following Audi's lead on the racetrack with oil-burning racecars right here in America, and will soon translate that excitement to the road by introducing its Skyactiv-D engine in North America. It just won't happen as soon as we expected.
Mazda announced today that, while its diesel engine meets current emissions requirements, the company has decided once again to push back an introduction originally slated to kick off in the Spring. According to the brief statement below, Mazda wants to take more time to find "the right balance between fuel economy and Mazda-appropriate driving performance."
In other words, the Zoom-Zoom brand apparently thinks its diesel engine doesn't deliver the zoom-zoom American drivers would expect, so we'll have to wait just a little bit longer. Details to follow closer to launch, whenever that will ultimately take place.
