brake lock should be quite common at mazda authorised accessories shop.

changed mine to 205/45/16 after few months bought my car, which is more common at the market and service centre did not mentioned it void warranty. previously using goodyear which is quite poor. last few months just changed to toyo which is quite good.

Most shops outside will not provide mazda parts as it is low in demand. Any required parts still preferable to get at Mazda Service Centre to avoid shops outside gave you vios or city parts and tell you they are the same, instead of mazda's 1 due to try to get your business. But, it's all depend on you. Ori parts always more expensive and takes time. maintenance cost wise, i think it is almost the same with most japanese car, engine oil plus filter might cost you rm200 to rm350 depend on which engine oil you choose, major maintenance could cost till rm1500 which i just kena when car hit 60k milage.

The road noise mainly due to tires noise which is seems the same when i change to good year or even toyo now. based on most tires shop, good year nct5 is popular of noise therefore i change to toyo with just bit lesser noise. the tire print is quite sporting and good for wet road but it may produce optimal noise also. if you really care about the noise, maybe you could try others tires with more gentle tire print which may produce lesser noise. however, 16" rims and the hard suspension of mazda 2 also contribute part of the noise so the noise can only be lessen but unavoidable.

Expensive 1 was the fuel filter and pump filter. Then there are air filter, cabin filter etc.

I still go to mazda service centre. Not sure if mechanics out there familiar with mazda parts.

Nvr tried to look for that. If you found any good recommendations we would be glad if you could share here.
