Hi Sifu, I'm having headache to decide between Mazda2 Skyactiv and City, Please help.
Any comments for these model in terms of their performance and maintenance cost, fuel consumption etc?
Many thanks in advance!

1. Brand: Honda City, and Mazda2 Skyactiv
2. Budget: RM100K below
3. New/Used/Unreg: New
4. Specs: "Fun to Drive", Comfortable.
5. Transmission: Auto
6. NA or FI?: Any
7. Type: Sedan
8. Remarks: -

I saw comments/issues about the i-Stop feature, such as i-stop not working properly/battery not charging and drainage/cannot start car after not driving, my understanding this i-Stop feature uses a high voltage battery to stop/start the engine, there will be a battery replacement required of every cycle and requires to do a system restore/reset.

I understand that Mazda offers 3 years of warranty and free service, but what happens after the warranty is over?

If it really requires to change the battery that often, i think saving a little bit of fuel is not worth it.

I did sent my query to Mazda but there is no reply for the battery maintenance cost and replacement cycle of period.

Hi Guru, what do you think the coming GST? will it impact for the new car price to increase? i am thinking to get a new car, should i rush to do it now before April 1?
