m2 waiting list 2 months FASTEST, hot colours like soul red might need 3 months.

Dear Expert (3 of you),

Thanks a lot for your previous advice.
I yet to test drive with it but I really fall in love with it.

I am struggling on the aspect which mentioned above. T-T
Whether really the right way to fork out RM90k for M2.

By the way, some review mentioning on the sound prove is poor. Is it true?
It said you can listen to the exterior noise.

Guys stitcher for what purpose ?

internet radio

I only cannot tahan the rain noise. Tak tak tak tak tak tak tak

I don hear much from outside during driving, most sound come from tire. even engine also not much.
When raining the top is noisy. And when motorbike cross nearby can hear clearly.
Overall still not bad.

This one really no cure right?

Actually Hyundai is not too bad. It's just that they didn't bring in the I20 otherwise another choice to consider

Engine noise is quiet on the inside. Outside it's engine noise is not nice at all. Krak krak krak krak krak

If u judge a book by its cover, don't bother so much coz u will tend to overlook the negative aspects. Go book!

im not an expert. i just do a LOT of reading and watching vids regarding M2. i mean it, a LOT of study from local review to global review to comparison of the car.
i also still in waiting list to get one. probably end of this may according to my sa. so no real owner comments from me.

since we here are not in the right place to state the decision for you, here a few questions for you to answer the get your decision.
i cast out vios here. this is between city and m2.

1) do you have a small family or medium? - the most important!

2) how many passenger will always be with you? how old are they?

3) is many airbag important to you?

4) is resale value really mean a big thing to you?

5) do you prefer plain practical car or well equip car?

6) 5 year labor free vs 3 year labor and part, which do you prefer?

7) what will you drive the car for? working? family travel?

there probably many question to ask but for now this is what i can think of.

Dear Expert murasame85,

I narrow down some of my concern:

1) Those who bought M2, do you all concern about the resale value? example if you want to change to a better car, will it a concern for you to sell a better price? Since everyone is mentioning the value is low, is it means you purchase RM89k but selling off with only RM10k?

2) Service and labor parts for a long run? (do not assume all are wealthy)

Other than that is till acceptable for me.

The not well welding part should be clarified as a "problem" to the aesthetics of the car which is not very visible, rather than a safety problem unless some engineer here can confirm this.

Space for handphone should be clarified as limited space to place a phone holder. There's no need to have a special place to put your phone unless you need it as a GPS/for whatever reason you need to look at your phone while driving. For calls only, it can be connected via bluetooth so there's no reason to have a clear view of your phone (can still answer calls while it is in your pocket).

ya thank you for detail it. i mean to say for phone holder. silly me not thinking the right word

1) The reason why I am willing to buy a Mazda is because I don't plan to sell it so soon. As someone pointed out, after 5 - 7 years the resale value between a H and a M is different but minimal. If you're planning to sell in 2 - 3 years time, the difference can be huge.

2) I have a service schedule which my SA shared with me which includes GST, assuming the price list doesn't change after the 3 years or 60,000km whichever is earlier, the average cost of maintenance including parts and labour and GST is about RM360. Please take note that I have averaged out the cost by adding the total of each service interval (which is a combo of minor and major service) then divide by 11. It only shows me till the 11th service or 100,000km or 5 years. It does not include costs like changing spare parts like brake disc, suspension and the usual stuff that you need to change from wear and tear.

It shows engine oil, oil filter, packing/gasket, air filter, cabin filter, fuel pump - feed filter, fuel filter, brake fluid..only

I can't rememer what coolant was it that the maintenance guy told me that does not need to be changed at all for the entire lifetime of the car, engine coolant? or is it air con coolant?..can't remember leh.

Dear GNR,

Thanks a lot for your explanation.
Just hope to get more information in order not to regret as I am not a wealthy person. Every single cents count for me.
Haha

The front page's youtube vids not good enough meh?

Resale value confirm kalah to honda n toyota. Thts the price u pay for choosing to be different as well as toys u get on the mazda tht you don't compared to the other 2.

rear wheel fender welding is the defect
i dont think uneven underneath welding is defect, or the engineer purposely weld the car this way for better body strength
