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!!!

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

i just put the booking fee, 1st come 1st serve
i am not sure about the procedure of selling used car, but my brother-in-law will help me on selling my myvi se...

HB for me. I don't need the extra space. Sedan only coming in Feb, at least one week to do Puspakom inspection it looks quite bleak to get your car by cny. Heavy bookings at Puspakom so inspection is delayed:((

oh yea.. for those who booked m2.. how's the discount? hehe

Public bank 2.62% 9 years.. Not sure bout u guys.. hehe..

sa say I can get my car by next week liao.. yeah.. m2 sedan Gray..

Got my red HB yesterday. The only complaint is probably the paintwork, orange peel compared to M6. Driven normally it's smooth! Good pickup without having to floor the pedal. Sports will Rev to 4000 before upshift so it's not a good idea for now. Not as cramped as I thought but then I'm short. A bit short on storage space but who cares, it drives well.
Steering has enough feel at 110 and its steady. Bloody pickup truck made me do an emergency stop and there's no drama, wish horn is louder! Keeping revs below 3.5k there's enough shove in city use, not as sluggish as reviews say, can't wait to get it to redline. Should get under ten seconds I think. Suspension firm but can feel the long wheelbase makes the ride cushy. Really like the compromise.
Engine and road noise are there but at 110 it's not bad. Sound system is beyond my expectations but still need to play with the MZD. The HUD is floating around, only showing speed as I don't have the sat nav. Gotta go

yea lets go invite more future m2 hb n sedan owner to here! lets make it happening!

Let's form a Mazda2 skyactive club!!

You should bro. Sometimes, stones just come from nowhere.

Thanks for the photo bro. Hopefully sedan will arrive soon. I plan to have huper optik tint. Quoted RM 1200 after discount. As for DRL bulb, plan to get white LED from eBay. Still sourcing the right one.

hmm bro.. didnt the mazda SA give u free tint as freebies? hehe

Problem is, 3M removes 99% IR, so it renders our smartTag useless. Now I looking at HO which lets more IR through. As long as it cuts lots of UV, I'm fine. Raytech is ok, but have to drive slowly. M2 side windows are already tinted, so putting a 50% VLT security tint will fail especially the front windows which need 70% VLT. But surprisingly our M6 with Raytech has not been stopped by cops for the past year. But when the new tint law comes into effect I'm worried there'll be hassles.

Hey guys. Is ray tect cs75 good enough for out car? The spec is not as good as the price.

Hi Sir,

For front windscreen you can choose our 3M Ceramic 75 series which have no problem with smart tag. And the side using Nano series.

Spec for Ceramic 75
(72% VL Transmittance , 40% TSER, 44% IR Rejection, 99% UV Rejection, 19% Glare Reduction)

Spec for Nano 70
(66% VL Transmittance , 50% TSER, 97% IR Rejection, 99.9% UV Rejection, 22% Glare Reduction)


The one with smart tag issue will be crystalline series which have very high IR Rejection which cause Smart Tag that using Infrared to work. As you can see at below the IR rejection at 97%, so you have to compromise the heat rejection with slighly lower spec film so that smart tag can be work.

Spec for Crystalline 70
(68% VL Transmittance , 50% TSER, 97% IR Rejection, 99.9% UV Rejection, 22% Glare Reduction)
