Rumors said this year Bermaz will CKD Mazda2 diesel later this year

1. Everytime I start the car, the engine coolant symbol comes up - in blue color. After 15s-45s drive the symbol goes off by itself. Is it normal for the car's engine being slow to warm up? All the car that I has driven so far all warms up in like, 1-2s after the engine has started so I never has this issue.

2. I have this krek krek issue at rear tyre if I pulled the handbrake halfway - as if the handbrake can't hold the car fully although it was a flat surface. No sounds if I pull handbrake in full. Is this normal?

3. Any way to turn off radio? So far I'm just muting the sound...

Anyone experienced "kluk,klak" sound when turning at low speed (0-15km/h)? The sounds is quite slow, so if I turn on radio will surely miss the sound. And it doesn't happen all the time... Should I bring this to SC?

And I tried driving around without aircond, just to see i-stop. It stops for a very long time. About 25-40s, now that's fuel saving. But the only time I can drive without aircond is only before 7.30AM before it gets hot...

After i left the car for long hours (like, over the night), the next morning i start the car i noticed that the car's rev at P is quite high, around 2.2k.

This is abnormal right? Because if i change to N, the rev goes down to 800 - which is normal (i assume, since my old car also revs at that speed at N). After driven the car a bit, change to N/P, the rev goes down to 800. Only the morning starting up, the rev goes to 2.2k at P.

Anyone kena like this?

1. Usually how long u guys book slot for service in advance?
2. Anyone has any review on Mazda authorized SC at Jalan Mak Lagam, Kemaman?

Edit: Finally got my service slot booked at bangi. 40km away...

mahcyen

Unless u live in KV and buy Euro5 diesel

I've been in sylphy only once so take this with pinch of salt.

Mazda2 pickup is slightly worse than sylphy, i think

I got my first service at 800km. The SA said next service is at 10800km.

Can the engine oil tahan for 10k km? I thought semi synth can tahan max only 7500km...

Yeah....thats why i'm surprised that Mazda asked for next service after 10k km with semi-synth. Because its usually recommended to change at 5k km with semi, but we all know today's engine oil is very high quality can last longer - but to the point of 10k? I doubt it... Previous car i was using semi synth, at 7k km the engine oil already become thick and black. But then it was a 99' Corolla - very old engine

Those with more than 10k km, did u guys changed engine oil buta2 like SA advised? Or did u changed it urself?

1 month or 1000km, whichever is earlier

If u hit 1 month, but mileage is 450km, just go lor

I have encountered minor jerking at times at very low speed too. Since it happened like, 2 times out of 2 months ownership, didn't really care...

Those big SC need book slot. Those ulu2 places can just walk in. I went to Bangi authorised SC they said can just walk in, from my time there it seems coz they dun have many customer. I asked the one in Kemaman also they said just walk in - I have nvr seen any Mazda in my 4 days there so take a guess why.

sry dunno address lol

How much better is the acceleration/power in Sports compared to normal?

I used it in 80++ (gear 4?), didn't feel that it changed to gear 5 that fast even though I was approaching 95... The rev goes up like crazy though, around 4-5k

Things to ponder:
Review from those who has the navi said the map and navi is mediocre at best.
But standalone navi like Garmin etc requires place to put...and I still has no idea where to put mine...

Does Thai version has more airbag and cruise control?

Can anybody enlighten me why everyone wants the LED headlight? What's so special with LED headlight?

I see our backseat has ISOFIX label. But I can't find the two ISOFIX anchorage at our seat? I see only the top tether.

Anyone kind enough to show where is the two bottom ISOFIX anchor for our car?

I'm assuming ours is using universal ISOFIX. RTFM does not work, it doesn't say anything about ISOFIX, all is belt installation. Strange, since our car seat has the ISOFIX label on it.

I was thinking something like this:


So it's a whole vertical metal bar in the seat's gap? I'm in office now, will go put my hand in between the seat later..

Very unlikely someone will know. The model hasn't been out for 3 years yet...
