Yup, may be you are correct also, the colour might be different depends on the environemnt light. Since it's colour, so it's personal choice.

Will be owning a Mazda2 sedan soon. Need help/ advice from the owner here. How much interest rate u manage to get?
Things offered, v armour 4mil+camera recorder+full tank. Consider good?

err... vkool armorcoat ar? free den good if need to pay den bad.

camera recorder? that's new... never heard of anybody else getting this.

Full tank normal.

I got smart tag and full tank along with other standard gifts which are tire inflator, umbrella and sling woven bag.

Anyone seen this photo before? I iz serowpoke if it was posted before

Wondering if headlamp can add-in to loan or not. Haha.

With same gear ratio, higher torque (NM) wins acceleration race, higher horsepower (PS/KW) wins top speed race.

But diesel engines redline around 5k rpm while petrol engines redline around 6.5k-7k rpm, hence, the gear ratio will be different. In the end, the performance of diesel & petrol variant will be closely similar.

It all comes down to preference.

Diesel, turbo car, powerful acceleration turbo kick but there are turbo lag; great FC, but reduced comfort due to loud idle, non-linear turbo kick acceleration and coarse low frequency growling sound when accelerate. NOx emission is bad for health (France is considering banning diesel cars).
Petrol, natural aspirated car, linear but subtle acceleration; lower FC, but better comfort due to low idling sound and smooth acceleration sound.

If I am not mistaken, roadtax is the same for 1.5L diesel & petrol, only above 2L engine, there will be a big difference.

To compete in hot hatch, Mazda most probably fit 1.5L turbocharged engine in Mazda 2 MPS, or 2.5L turbocharged engine in Mazda 3 MPS. Or... Revive the rotary engine!! Since it is designed for performance, emission control throw out the window.

There are endless possibilities, just whether Mazda Malaysia willing to make the extra steps to provide these services or not.

Doubt Mazda gona go Turbo for their petrol engines

if the numbers are correct, turbo diesel acceleration win a few seconds from NA petrol M2 only. Kinda disappointing.

Based on numbers and reviews, the common diesel problems already eliminated. The tebu in use is low powered 1 so common tebu problems may not be present. The skyactiv-d max torque kicks in at 2k rpm so this is the kind of car that is best driven at 2k rpm and maintain low FC. If the numbers are true, the rated FC of skyactiv-D is 4.7L/100km compared to petrol's 5.6.

Mazda tebu diesel tech:


Not sure if the 2.2 twin tebu diesel is meant for which Mazda car.

doesn't Malaysia need to change their Diesel octane level first?

yes. Johor already got. kambing soon to the rest of Malaysia.
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/busines...esel-from-today

it's already in use mostly in Euro market Mazda 3, 6 and CX5.

not diesel octane, but the euro4/5 standard diesel

obviously i didn't know what i was saying but has something to do with the quality.

yes, u're right, euro4/5 is talking about the fuel quality
our current fuel only euro2...

Copied from BHP sites

Nvm about diesel lar. Petrol easier to get

but petrol no tebu, no projector headlights, no cruise control...

skyactiv-g with turbo, engine will blow or not? 14.0:1 + turbo compression
the engine compression ratio might need to lower down if install turbo charger
i just want LED Projector Headlamps

I was there at the launch. The diesel variant no projector headlights as well.

That particular model u see from autofreaks is Mazda Demio NOT Mazda 2.

If won't be sold den register in Malaysia for wut?

that 1 we have to leave to the engineer or automotive engineer to find out.
