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

sweat.gif 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.

yea i know, just saying as added value if its soft plastic, i would totally pick this mazda2 over its competitors too without doubt since i drive alone most of the time, i dunmind the small space

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  vmad.gif ) 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 doh.gif  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  icon_question.gif

Thanks alot!!! notworthy.gif

the istop can be annoying, mostly i turn it off, so far i havent heard anyone changes their battery for the new skyactiv, unless its lemon unit which is FOC~

if u really dislike the istop function, after warranty, just change to any other ordinary battey will do, but istop wun be functioning after tht (told by SA)

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.

not problem for mazda2, since no ieloop~

actually the review by paultan, the mazda3 scores best among other competitors, even their claim mileage i couldn't get it myself unless fully highway

the MZD fuel consumption is quite accurate as compare to my fuellog

Yes rm1200 for the SD card
Its not easy copy n paste to a new sd card

I was told u can't use sd card from other cars, every card is coded

Was also warn it might void ur warranty if u put a norma sd card

However, having say, someone did clone the sd card, but not sure how
