If on highway - yeah..since the bends aren't tight..

The stock tyres are great in the wet..it's skinny thus cutting water easily..PLUS many thread lines which improves water dispersion..

Well..it's my own preference to get better dry tyres since I don't drive fast in the wet..max about 100kmh..avg about 90kmh laugh.gif

I have yet to test out how's the tyres in dry..but I had some "sneak peek" during my first 1k..I think it could do better laugh.gif

Remember that we have TCS now, do remember to turn that off before further testing brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif

Hey brother, yes my main concern is this high maintenance AFTER the free service period.

Not only money is an issue, the time i have to wait for certain rare spare parts is also another issue, plus, if got breakdown in highway and have to call local foreman for fixing, there is a high risk they won't know how to repair as compared to a T or a H.

Really down now.  ohmy.gif

This is quite a scary thought actually =/

I've been enabling my i-Stop only at long stops..other than that I'll turn it off (orange light)
*
I used to do that too, but after a while I just leave it on, can decide at any moment if I want it or not biggrin.gif (Switch to 'N' or step harder on brake)

Too much manual labour to off it every time tongue.gif (Saw someone put paper there to make the button stuck pressing down tho)

Hi,

Is nanocoating or glass coating of the paint surface necessary or highly recommended?

For soul red color.
*
IMO, not a necessity but recommended if you have the extra $$ to spend.

Guess depend on quality of the coating, body coating can protect ur factory paint, protect from contaminants, easier to wash and dry, car more shiny shiny and the 1 I really like, little cushion room for light scratches/stone chip

Personally I find Glass coating really helpful, side mirrors always clear regardless of weather, and in heavy rain no use wipers also no problem laugh.gif

Yeah..saw that also..placing a paper piece xD How's the car so far? So far so good? XD
*
Yeah so far no issue found, just added some paint chip here and there and deep scratches at bottom of front bumper laugh.gif scratched curb at those spiral parking entrance in Subang haha .. really very tight, took my eyes off to see time on MZD screen thn kena ady laugh.gif

QUOTE(frozen7 @ Oct 25 2016, 06:54 PM)
Called up the sales person, he advised me to go Glenmarie SC to do something like "recharging" the battery to settle this problem.
I went to kepong SC instead since it is nearer for me, that guy said have to change battery.
Now in dilemma either to change the battery or to settle the problem at Glenmarie. Since the change of battery can be claimed only once during the 3 years warranty period right? If "recharging" at Glenmarie can settle this issue, at least i can delay the changing of battery at later years.
*
I'm guessing re-charging the battery sounds like a very short term solution hmm.gif hv to get input from otai here.

I see.

Do you have any recommendation for the body coating?

Nope, I myself havnt do any haha.. not sure if those high end expensive one really worth it or not also

QUOTE(frozen7 @ Oct 25 2016, 10:02 PM)
The sales person did mentioned that other M2 drivers also did the same by sending back for recharging to solve this problem, and only Glenmarie SC able to do this.  blink.gif  why huh??
No one here face this problem before? My car mileage is around 20k+, and 1 month to go to reach 1 year.

Think many had this issue.
But if warranty period still long, no harm trying also hmm.gif

Oh ok.

When you did your tint did they tint over the black dots on the windshield?

Yup.. mine they did. They unscrew and remove the rear view mirror, only cut a hole just nice for the mirror base.

I use traps too, got kiddie roaches laugh.gif in the end took all the trims and stuff off to get rid of them.
They had bases under back seat cushion and underneath passenger carpet. My Neo had that 'flooding' issue before so carpet got wet, they like -___-

I have not done mine. A friend of mine tinted his car but left out that area.

By the way, when I turn off my car. And then reach for the door handle to open the door, there is a sound coming from the dashboard. Sounds pneumatic or hydraulic. Is that normal?

Like a whirring sound right? I guess that's normal..I'm wondering what is it also..keep forgetting to ask until you posted laugh.gif

So this time I paid attention to the sound laugh.gif
1. When I off engine, from driver side door
2. When open driver side door, from dashboard

hmm.gif Hvn't put much thought
btw I installed mirror auto fold and door lock/unlock, before this I tho because of that.

marketing strategy i guess.. free service only for
- semi engine oil
- oil filter
- air cond filter
- service charge

other than that is paid....... sad.gif

Exactly laugh.gif pushing add-on services/stuff to have more gain.

Thanks for the info too, considering doing tyres rotation outside hmm.gif

As mentioned..whichever COMES FIRST..

Anyway..should be able to still retain the free service..just tell them you were out of town for awhile

I did my first service at 1.5k (1 week old) and they tried to "warn" me..I gave them a stern reply that I had to travel to Malacca for a meeting with client
*
see if any chance I'l spot u in Melaka icon_idea.gif

Was thinking about the service timing too.. if follow the recommended 10k interval, macam too long

if go outside change oil after 5k, that's too soon (to me semi syn good for 7k or so)
if change at 7k, thn kinda late cus another 3k can go for mazda service ady.. hmm.gif

duno how.. go fully syn th nchange oil every 10k?

Hello.. good day everyone.. I'm a newbie here whom planning to buy a Mazda 2 HB / Sedan.. is there anyone whom can advise me on the car feedback? What I search thru from this thread is the handling itself are great, but what bout the other? For example the fuel consumption? Full tank will be how much n will be drive for how many km? Sorry, am a noobie here which know nothing bout car.. 😬😬

I'm in love with Mazda 2 but I still hvnt get a very detail info bout this car. Am afraid after buy this car will hv lotsa tiny matter that need to be solve..

According to setia Alam SA, this car will Cost 97K.. any other branch will be selling cheaper the that..

Looking forward to all of you the master to advise me on the car..

Thanks in advance ya.. 😁😁
*
wow.. din't know the price went up so high now shakehead.gif

why I pickd M2 over competitors (B-seg)
- Great interior design (I drive quite a lot too, interior design is my priority)
- Overall great design
- Great to drive
- Great fuel consumption
- Well equipped (High spec city dsnt even hv reverse camera that time and almost same price)

the downside for M2 are
- rear legroom
- wind noise insulation not that good
- lower resell value

QUOTE(Someonesim @ Jan 16 2017, 12:18 PM)
Almost want to get Satria Neo  biggrin.gif  thanks to it's price I gave up and get m2. It does really felt like 2 seater, my seat position was quite front actually yet the rear legroom was tight behind me.
Audio, can say dont expect too much  sweat.gif  bass is there but mids and high was so so only.
*
I upgraded from Neo too, I can say m2 rear legroom is just marginally better thn Neo Haha

Just curious, if we change to 'normal' common battery, will it
- damage some parts of the car after prolonged usage? (and possibility of voiding warranty if SC spotted it)
- car will not behave as it should?
- just i-stop will not function?
- everything fine but regular battery will die lagi quickly?
or bit of everything

hmm.gif

Hi Guys, I'm too not going for any performance mods for this car, not even VS and grounding cables.
Don't mind minor cosmetic mod tho, anyone know where I can get boot lip(spoiler) for sedan? Full width like the pic in first post. Thx.
