SKYACTIV-G 1.5L petrol engine with 4-2-1 exhaust system and i-stop

Compression ratio: 14.0
Maximum Output: 85kW/6000rpm
Maximum Torque: 148Nm/4000rpm
Fuel Economy: 5.2L/100km

Does that means this thing needs RON97 or 98...?   

Any promotion for mazda 2 sedan?

Soul Red scheduled for delivery next week, booked early kiasu Oct. Sedan only available in Feb.

TTDI has one. I'm really impressed with the build quality. Very premium, photos doesn't do it justice, hard plastics on some parts but feels very solid when you knock on it. Leather all over but I'm surprised the leather seats are actually tough fabric in the center, about 2 sqft of it. Doors close with a solid thud, so unlike Jap cars esp B segment.
Space is a premium, but snug like a sports car. Red stitching looks very well done, it is miles better than my CBU Swift which I paid the same price 10 yrs ago.
Gripes: door panels seems a bit soft outside, tires looks too Eco friendly. And yes, no LEDs but sit inside and its forgiven.

I tested the car this morning. Just a short drive around Jalan Ampang and Duke highway. My impression is that the car feels like other new Mazda with skyactiv. Feels light and sprightly and easily get to highway speed. Ride is a bit firm, but could be due to overinflated tyre, typical of showroom car. NVH is class average. The head-up display is very useful, becoz there is not analog speedometer, only small readout below the rev counter.

The interior has good space the front for me. Steering is from expensive Mazda, and your knee rest on soft leather ( or vinyl I dont know). The dashboard has good ergonomics, with not many switches, aircond control within reach. But the Mazda Commander control is a bit too far behind the natural position of my hand. Rear seat has some legroom, but cramped on the head. The width also will limit it to 2 adult only.

Seats are leather with fabric insert. Feels quite hard wearing type, not the plush soft type. Seat back is thin, to give good legroom at the back seat.

Boot for the hatchback is very casual. Average volume, made less accessible by high boot sill.

Exterior is awesome, even in other color than soul red. Two tone rims is nice.  Just slack the headlight is yellow bulb type like the Mazda6 2.0.

I also went there just now..

Very very impressive. Wanna trade in Mazda 3 for this. 

Got sport mode, seat sensor, HUD, 7' Infotainment. Even the dashboard on the stiches is real soft touch. Not like Vios.

Any showroom which have the sedan version?  I'm more interested in the sedan than the HB.

no sedan version in Subang Taipan showroom yet, only a red hatchback there..

anyone know when the white interior version gonna be available?   

Tested the car too, much more powerful than other b segment car, even more responsive with paddle shift

For 90k if u dunmind the space is smaller, its definitely a good buy, just wanna complain the hard plastic, abit cheap

Yeah. Hard plastics and it moves just by pressing it abit. But that's the same with the mazda 3. The previous Mazda 3 had better dashboard quality I think.

new mazda3 is soft plastic

but luckily the interior is black, more classy

Glenmarie, but it is a Skyactiv Diesel, some specs are not the same with the NA being sold so don't be mistaken. But at least you get to compare the HB and the sedan. No sedan test drive units in any showrooms yet, have to wait for Feb
Sorry no white interior to choose. Only the black is sold. Yes I was quite disappointed too when they told me this. Lucifal told me to do aftermarket, hahaha. Maybe I will.

Gonna post here on what I've posted in the other topic

I went to the Glenmarie showroom. Only the sedan can be viewed there but that model is the diesel Skyactiv, so don't be mistaken. It lacks some stuff that the NA version has like paddle shifts. Oh the sedan will only be viewable this weekend only at Glenmarie, it will be moved to another showroom after this weekend.

No sedan version to test drive yet at any showrooms (SA told me February only got sedan units to test drive), only the hatchback is available for test drive at the moment (specs for both are the same and don't mistake it for the diesel show unit there.)

All in all, like what hkenh mentioned above, it is a driver oriented car. I drive alone 99% of the time, so I feel this is the car for me. Power and handling is good (for me at least), finishing is above par against the City (which alot people are comparing to), space of course not duh (but not a problem for me)

I feel that the HB is more suitable for a woman, as it looks small (but SA told me that there's a sport package that's gonna launch soon to have black toned rims and spoilers and skirting with some colour changes, you can view how it looks at the showroom, so the HB with that sport package may look more viable for a guy who still prefer the HB.)

Sedan will be the way to go for guys. As the spec sheet puts that the sedan is about 300mm longer, and the back looks quite similar to the back of Mazda 3 which looks better.

I've booked a Soul Red sedan. March only can deliver, before CNY is impossible

I also went there just now..

err yeah but you're comparing a 85k car against a 120k car. The Mazda 2 compared with other cars of similar price tag, I think I can say that it beats its competitors easily in terms of interior and exterior design and looks. But not in terms of practicality with its limited rear space and boot space. As for performance and handling I think it's fairly good, and I loved it very much.

Why you say cannot recieve before cny? When did you book it?

Booked for my wife last week before launch and SA said will be getting before CNY.

Overall fun car to drive and value for money in its segment.

Bro, u booked sedan or HB?

I booked sedan  but sa say can get before cny. and i am the first sedan soul red in their showroom. I think bermaz will give alot of mazda 2 before cny ba. If cant get before cny then not fun already.

My wife wanted to book the Honda city due to the large cabin and boot size because we have a baby.
But I really wanted to book this Mazda 2 due to the awesome looks (not referring to the headlamps  ) and cool techs.

However I saw alot of bad comments/issues about the i-Stop feature.

From what i read and understand, this i-Stop feature uses a high voltage battery to stop/start the engine.
Heard that it requires to replace every 1 to 1.5 year which cost RM1500   and requires to do a system restore/reset.

Also heard that some mazda owners have issues such as i-stop not working properly/battery not charging properly/battery drainage/cannot start car after not driving the car for 1 week..

If it really requires to change the battery that often and it cost Rm1500, i think saving a little bit of fuel is not worth it.
I understand that Mazda offers 3 years of warranty and free service, but what happens after the warranty is over?

Hope some Mazda owners can enlighten me 

Thanks alot!!!

For charging issue, I think you are refering to i-eloop. Mazda 3 using I -eloop to pair with I-stop for functioning.
Not sure about mazda 2.

I want to book sedan, but Penang sa say only can get the car on March.
Any rebate or free gifts from your sa? Penang site no rebate and free gifts

Tested the HB version today. I'll summarize it in point form:-
- Love the handling of the car. Power is very decent for a 1.5L. In fact it feels more powerful than the Vios and City.
- Interior is really a class above the City and Vios.
- Exterior looks good as well but could be better with the LED DRL instead of halogen.
- Feels very solid and stable.
- Love the digital speed HUD at the windscreen!

The minus points:-
- Back is cramp
- Boot is very small for the HB version. Not sure about the sedan.
- The suspension set up is very very firm but could be due to overinflated tyres?

Overall, without seeing the sedan version yet, I find this car a better buy than the City and Vios.

how cramp is the back compare to vios and city?
how about the NVH compare to vios and city?

When the front seat was pushed almost all the way to the back, my knees had only about 1 - 2cm gap from the front seat. I cant recall how is it for Vios but City definitely had more legroom for the back passengers.

NVH was good. Very silent and feels solid and planted on the road. Tyres abit noisy but perhaps can be solved using Michelin tyres?

Nope. They say new car. No rebate. newly launch car
abit hard can get discount.

This thread not so happening. i think less people looking
for this car.

if want some space, then sedan is the option

hatch is more like a driver-car, max only for 2 person 

Just came back from test drive. Went over to the main HQ in Glenmarie. Both versions were on display, the Hatchback and the Sedan. However, the Sedan version is of Diesel engine (not sold in Malaysia). Test drive version is only the HB (white).

There is to my surprise, a HB version that was on display which is equipped with a complete kit (front bumper, side skirting, etc) and I must say that it enhances the car on a whole new level. The HB version that was on display is the red while the kit has 2 tone (red & black). The obvious changes are coated with black top and black side mirrors.  It changes the looks not in an extreme sense but more towards a subtle sporty glare. I also asked the SA and they are in the mist of bringing the kit. Estimate price around an additional 1.5k - 2k for the kit (aside than the 1.2k for the optional navigation system). Another thing is the carbon fiber!!! Its everywhere in the car. The headlamps, steering wheel, certain part of the dash board and also the door where the window controls located. This certainly added the feel of "premium -ness"

The test drive to my opinion was satisfying. Coming from a person who drives a CRZ. Bodyroll was kept at a minimum when in corners and road noise was not obvious. Acceleration responded well with no jerks/change of gears (must be the awesome skyactiv tech). However, when i switched to manual (dropped of gear) u can hear the car rev pretty loud (dunno whether is normal or not). Oh and the i-stop tech, it makes as if your driving a hybrid car while your car stand idling. Can't tell whether the engine is on or not =P

The fastest I went was 78km/h (wanted to go faster, but u know la how roads are inside Glenmarie). I'm 172cm and I must say, the front and back fits me perfectly. Although someone who is 175 and above would have difficulty at the rear passenger side.

Overall, for its price... totally worth it.!!! (that's only my opinion)

p.s. the so called "ugly" lamps ain't that bad when u view it in real life. It does compliments the car somewhat or rather. Of course having the original projector headlamps would have been nice.

For anyone who have test drive the M2, how about the road noise and wind noise? Read few couple review from aussie, seem many do point about that problem too. Still can't decide on M2 or Jazz.

So, how does it compare to your crz? Ride, handling, steering, comfort, noise, cabin quality etc

Test drove it up to 145km/h.. Yeap road and wind noise is there, slightly less than a Proton though..

Wow, which showroom did u test drive ?  the route that was directed by the SA @ Glenmarie can't even lap above 80km/h due to the turnings and road curves.

I booked sedan  but sa say can get before cny. and i am the first sedan soul red in their showroom. I think bermaz will give alot of mazda 2 before cny ba. If cant get before cny then not fun already.

Anyone have placed booking for sedan unit? any idea on the delivery?

Just saw the diesel unit on display at Glenmarie showroom yesterday, they not sure on when sedan unit will be available too.

just realized that the tyre size for the Mazda 2 is 185/60/R16 and not 185/55/R16
That is a rather odd size, at least for now

And currently there's no such tire in Malaysia.

Next size up is 205/55, might scrape the fenders 

tray this?

just tested and placed booking for the m2 sedan red!

fantastic interior quality, nice acceleration for a small car with 1.5L engine, tackles corner quite well, high speed stability was okay for me (but persona does better), NVH was acceptable, didnt notice much road noise and wind noise.

car feels lazy to drop gear when i press on the pedal, but sport mode solves it nicely! I stop was a little annoying for me, aircond seems not that cold anymore when i stop was activated, when u try to reduce the aircond temperature, engine kicks in suddenly and feels a little jerky.
overall it was a good car! nice interior (the best part of it)!

nope i tested the hb (sorry for confusing).. but booked for the sedan.. another 2 weeks only can view the sedan.. huhuhuh

i haven't tested m2, but i booked for sedan red too

walao u more geng.. haha.. straight away buy no nid book.. 

oh ya.. bro do u know the procedure of selling my used car to a buyer?

SA recommended me a banker, he say must go through used car deal (as guarantor), and they will charge me for 1.5k for that?

I thought the seller n buyer both go to the bank, apply loan, wait loan approve, change name, get my money and then settle?
