Fiesta more macho, for guys.
M2 more feminine

agree~ very obvious Fiesta for guys and M2 for ladies~

both also nice looking car anyway~

Fiesta is more Handsome but M2 is more Elegance.

For HB, very close call between M2 and Fiesta. I guess it all boils down to individual preference.
But for Sedan, M2 had the edge over Fiesta.

Either way, both the M2 and Fiesta are the 2 best cars in their class, imo. A breath of fresh air from the extremely boring and dull City and Vios.

arm rest alrdy arrive to bermaz pj?

I would say that M2 looks better Fiesta... Fiesta is so damn ordinary to me... just my 2cents but new Honda City looks cool what .. no?

Dear all M2 owner, would like raise some questions on M2 alarm system.

Is it normal when your door is not closed properly/not closed at all, then you look your car using the alarm, the alarm wont be initiated/making noise/goes off? The alarm will only initiate when after that, somebody poke something into the key hole near to steering (when attempt to steal the car or something)? Also when I used alarm to lock the car then use car key to unlocked it, the alarm doesnt not goes off as well. Is this true??
This info got from a used car sales man, according to him this is what answered by PJ SC.

Appreciate you guys' answer, from the M2 owners themselves.

Thx =)

Added on January 18, 2011, 11:48 pmJust gone through some UK, HK, Europe post & noticed there is a problem on the alarm for M2. They claimed the alarm will goes off for nothing. Some said Mazda has changed the alarm supplier and this effects worldwide.

Well, hope can hear the response for M2 alarm in MY from you guys soon. The M2 I'm going to get does to goes off for nothing just that it wont sound even is the car is unlocked properly unlike ordinary cars.

TQVM!!

First of all, when your door is not completely closed you cannot lock your doors with the remote. This is normal, at least you will know that one or more of your car doors are not closed properly.

Secondly, the M2 does not come with alarm system (at least my R spec doesn't come with it), it only has an immobilizer system installed by default which the correct car key must be inserted in the key slot before it will start, your key actually contains a unique frequency, a sensor somewhere in the dashboard detects the frequency on your key and upon authenticating, will disarm the immobiliser circuitry to engage the fuel pump and start your car.

Inserting a wrong key will not trigger any alarm, as there are no alarm installed by default, however it will not start with a wrong key as the immobiliser will not disarm.

Did you installed the alarm after purchasing your car? or it comes with the alarm pre-installed?

Added on January 19, 2011, 1:45 pmAny other car in the market would experience the same. Sell your car within 1st year and you lose at least RM10k-RM15k.
Anything less nobody will buy the 2nd hand car coz they rather get a new model with much lower interest rate. Your monthy installment probably diff by RM50.

Dunno about the rest, but the only reason that will make me sell my M2 now is if i want to get the latest M2 with GPS/DVD unit....muahhahaa...

lol... M2 has no alarm at all also auto lock while driving. and the boot is only open at P. even N is not available. Good as not like Myvi where anyone can open it which is dangerous as thief can enter from back. happen to my frend myvi.
Thief jump from the back boot and pointed knife to him.

the purpose of not allowing the boot to open unless you're in "P", is because its safer so you don't accidentally reverse into anyone, and also no one can simply open your boot while you're waiting at traffic lights (i normally put it in "N" while waiting)

Nope, it's all original. Then I agree with you, it does not come with the alarm system. I'm getting a used M2, tomorrow collecting. Notice this problem when testing the car (used remote to lock, then used key to manually unlocked -> no alarm. Went to PJ SC request for diagnosis report and service (even if only 6600 mileage, because I need to assure everything), but I forgot to raise this question to them. Then after, the used car sales man told me the remote/alarm thingy is all original. Well, is there any necessity to install an alarm system for M2? I feel a bit awkward w/o alarm ><

Ya, the high spec used M2, the sales man claimed that the owner went overseas and need to sell off the car. Then I found this car on an used car trade website, the owner himself stated he wants to upgrade to others car. One is the discrepancies in the reason of selling off the car. Another one is, I drove the car and I feel superb bouncy and great gliding sounds of tyres & the road surface, might due to the 16" rim. The sales man does not sounds genuine as well. Hence, I decided not to get the car.

I heard from a sales girl in Mazda Taman Megah showroom, there is one used M2 sedan in the market currently (i forgot she said it's silver or metropolitan grey). A lady owner, her customer also, selling away because she changed the whole engine due to a minor flood in damansara. So, guys, becareful of this if you are intended to get a used M2.

Thank you so much for your info on the alarm thingy, it helps a lot =D

Look forward to join you guys after collecting the car tml. Details will be posted tml, when I've officially get the car. =)

Added on January 19, 2011, 8:59 pmYeap, thought of the interest rate as well. After compared and taken into all the calculations, at least 12k differ, thus I still decided to get the used M2. At least the car condition is as good as new, low mileage, still under free service & warranty. I personally dont recommend to get a used car aged >3 years. My friend has bad experience with his previous used VW beetle & I believed there's a lot unpleasant stories out there on second hand car.

Wow, you are a rich fella..lol..yeap, the gps/dvd unit is truly tempting

flooding will affect any car....it has nothing to do with mazda 2

most mazda cars doesn't have auto lock because if it malfunction, u might get stuck inside the car if u can't manually unlock it..autolock is usually electronically controlled...i'm not sure with u all but do u all remember the incident of a honda car where teenagers inside were burnt to death because they can't escape from the car itself due to the autolock...

the gps/dvd built in unit cost rm3000...the whole radio unit is replaced

hope it helps~
