actually, my SA told me in japan, no such things as car being stolen so they didn't put alarm same as myVi.. just immobilizer. i think it's enough. alarm is good when u r there. if u were somewhere, it;s useless to have alarm, will low ur battery lifetime, other people didnt border ur car when alarm sounds..

am i right?? just my opinion..

actually m2 still have the horn alarm if some break into ur car illegally... i think horn sound is loud & annoyed.. nway, u'll love this car esp the design, fc, stability, maintenance (check the schedule inside the service booklet), nvh. quite good compared to T-V & H-C. Price?? Speechless....

As a Mazda 2 Owner , I am going thru the hard time now ..

It is about the car rim .
My M2 is just abt 3 mths and mileage is about 5000KM.

On monday I found that my driver side tyre puncture. As norm practice , I changed to the spare tyre (which is yellow colour) and brought the affected tyre to the shop to check.

Shock of my life when i was informed that my rim cracked .. it is about 2cm... how does it happen ?

I remember that i accidently drove into a small hole 2 months back and the hole is not that deep or big as i check immediately there is nothing affected.

Y'day ,I went to Mazda service centre to check what is the default and i am so disappoint with the answer given.

1. There is no warranty and they claim I hit a big hole.
2. They keep on saying that the quality of the rim cannot be assured and it is not their matter.
3. BIG surprise the one unit of RIM will cost RM 1500.

My question is :
1. The rim is not reliable  ? no quality ?
When you are driving about 40Km and hit a hole , can a car rim crack ?

I had same experience with Sentra and what happen is totally different . The type puncture and rim was bend a bit but NOT CRACK.

So the rim is not reliable ? compare to other models ?
and the cost of replacement is so high ?
It is a very bad experience for me as the owner of M2..
