wow.. looks like a lot people booked sedan instead.
Anything I missed with sedan?
Booked mine for white HB.

Anyway, I called the mazda service center to verify on the battery price. It costs around ~RM680 for Mazda2 SkyActiv :(

You didn't miss anything.. Just different people different taste.. HB also awesome bro.. Don't worry.. Let's form s Mazda 2 team.. Hahahaha

Omg!!! Very expensive neh!!!! Huhuhu..

We can always use normal maintenance free battery. It only disables iStop.

I think it's best that we test out fuel consumption w/ iStop and then w/out (drive for a month with iStop then another month without). Then compare the difference to find out the fuel savings coming from iStop. If the difference in fuel savings does not justify maintaining such an expensive battery, then no point having it, just have a normal battery will do.

We should share this and compare with each other to also see iStop works best for what sort of drivers and whether it is reliable as a fuel saving method in general.

anyone already get the car and tint in SC? does it cheap?
Which brand tinted better?

haha... thx for the convincing comments tho. But its really hard time to decide HB or SDN =.="
and getting white in the end. lol
I research online, mostly all about HB, very hard to get SDN reviews.

Question: if we change it to use normal battery, will it actually make the performance bad (as in fuel consumption, pickup, damage the internal skyactiv thing)?

Sorry I am not actually car-player, noob i would said, but catching up and learning.

chinlail, thx for sharing!!
I assumed is HB.

how was the driving experience?

I must say, I have very little to fault.. Very impressed so far. Yeah, no LED DRL but once behind the wheel all is forgiven. Loved my little Suzuki and considering I paid the same price for it ten years ago, this red beauty is miles apart. No rattles, good FC, six freaking gears and oh so smooth! No guts to try 6500 rpm yet but it already zoom zoom.

Gear change is smooth and kick down is quick even without Sports mode. Tachometer sweeps around smooth as butter that I needed to pussyfoot so that it doesn't hit 5k. The iStop seems smoother than the one in M6 2.0.

My friend who owned a series of expensive cars like Legacy, Mini Cooper etc was impressed with the interior and equipment level.

MZD lets you double lock, yet to test it out, and lets you automatically lock the car once you walk away from it.
Aussie reviews seems too harsh. Like they have such a high standard so that other reviewers don't look down on them. I'm Pleasantly surprised that the car is better than what they say,
Cons? Body panels a bit soft outside. Center panel where the gear lever is still moves a bit when you push it with your thigh. Back is small but heck, I don't want to fetch so many people! I hardly use the back seats anyway. Center storage not enough. Horn not loud enough. Tires hard to upgrade.

hi all mazda 2 owners and potential owners

just booked mine few weeks ago, from the SA in Seri Kembangan, red colour hatch which is probably only coming in with the next batch from what i read

own the mazda3, test drived the mazda2, feels almost the same as the mazda3

now my parents thinking of getting 1 unit of it

Is that true if get the car before cny is year 2014?
How to check it actually?

Thanks for the review and photos! Appreciate it. Is the headlight bright enough at night? How about the auto climate control aircon? Good enough?

For MZD connect, have you tested on other apps like Aha? From your FC figures, seems to be able to yield 16+KM/L, and I'm so impressed by it.

Thanks again bro.
