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.

just wondering how is the NVH compare to cars you have tested? maybe elantra or ford focus?

I also went there just now..

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

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

what is seat sensor?

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.

if want some space, then sedan is the option

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

i thought sedan only have a bigger trunk size? does it affect the rear space since wheelbase length is the same.

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)!

you tested sedan?

yea bro. did double confirm with them on the warranty. warranty not so sure is under BERMAZ or their authorized accessories shop.
SA told me is under their warranty. Hope he not lying to me.
coz the center lock button & break lock system is wire cable connection so better for them to fix.
ntg much d.. tat's all.. still got 1 if not mistaken is auto fold side mirror when engine off.
spoiler still not available yet at the moment. door visor sponsor by SA RM138 thumbup.gif
*
so where did they add the central locking button?

Sry bro cant attach a actual pic to show u where exactly it will be coz im still waiting my queue only.
But u may check on CX-3 interior which actually they have it on the power window switch there.
Since mazda 2 is same based as CX-3 probably might be the same as well..

alright ...thanks..please update a picture for the lock button once you get your car
