thinking our CBU is from thailand.. if got CKD pun will not really drop the price. i think.

If that's the case then no more CKD Mazda 2 liao.

BTW. Reading the Autobuzz review, the Skyactiv D Mazda 2 has only 103HP but can produce 250NM or torque?

probably because of turbocharge? im not really know about the power thing actually. hahaha

Diesel variant

I not really that good but usually turbo charged cars should have more both horse power and torque and not gain 1 loose another.

Plus... the max torque at 1500-2500rpm...

based on i read. the D 104hp is on 4k rpm. while the G 114hp on 6k rpm. does this mean D is more powerful?

The D has more torque but less powerful (in terms of horse power).
Guess it's the diesel mechanics.

anyone tried the 0-100 timing b4? different sources quote different timing...European sites quote 8.7secs but Malaysian sites quote 10secs. I know it's not an important fact about the car but its just nice to know about it

Europe mostly use diesel engine. that probably the reason they show the different result.

our diesel is also not at the best qualty right?

Currently Euro 2 IINM. Euro 5 kambing soon.

No chance to time full throttle yet...

you car still new, don't think too much about the fuel consumption
too focused on that, later you cari pasal with your car instead of enjoying it

Just looked through Yokohama's Tyre catalogue. Looks like they also don't produce 185-195/60R16. Only 185-195/55R16. Not sure Malaysia have it or not yet.

As I found earlier, the only 195/55R16 only available for high performance tyres. So if need to change tyre soon you can only opt for 185/55R16.

Michelin XM2 185/55R16 ~RM270
Continental CPC2 185/55R16 ~RM240

Since ASEAN has free trade agreement, no point setting up another production line for M2 CKD. Toyota Vios also CBU Thailand too. The Mazda production plant in Thailand for M2 is new too.

Diesel are high torque but low HP. Good at winning acceleration race but not very high topspeed. No doubt diesel FC is better compared to petrol variant, but the pollution NOx and black smoke generate under hard acceleration are its drawback.

Due to the variable geometry turbo, constant torque can be achieved at low rpm range, the one we normally drive in, city & highway. But not the racing rpm range. Hence, more FC.

No, diesel engines generally has lower rpm redline, but that torque is addictive, provided the engine is turbocharged, natural aspirated diesel engine on the other hand, has bad performance. It is like chocolate vs sh*t.

basically the diesel variant is more for naik bukit at 1500-2500rpm...

Under current diesel quality yes it is is very polluting. But when Euro 5 diesel comes, diesel would be much cleaner, probably cleaner than petrol. I m looking forward to Euro 5. I don't mind paying a bit more for Euro 5.

Bought this dashcam from amazon. It can capture razer sharp video 1080p @ 30 fps. Very bright & clear at night too. Hide the power cable in door seal rubber makes it totally invisible. Mount it behind the rear mirror. Support 32gb micro SD, can record up to 5 hours of video on full HD 30fps. Highly recommended.

Yup, not really, but it can accelerate faster as in the rpm increment is faster.

Less polluting for sulphur content, but NOx and black smoke (incomplete burned fuel) is dependant on the diesel engine combustion chamber/piston head design. According to Mazda, the Skyactiv-D can lower these two polluting component.

Looks a lot like this:

My SA told me the SC sell the tyre at about RM400-RM400-500, not sure can believe or not.
