Standard goodies that comes with the car upon buying:
1)Mazda woven sling bag(those that you use on a No Plastic Bag Day)
2)Emergency Box
3)Electronic Tyre pump( can use to pump basketball/football)

Things to get/bargain from Sales Advisor
1)Tinting voucher(price might have been inflated though)
2)Smart tag
3)Umbrella
4)Thermos
5)Mazda Rm30 bag(you can try your luck)
6)Cash rebate(you can try your luck)
7)FREE BODY KIT(might be limited offer)

What the Malaysian Mazda2 dont have compared to other markets?
1)No I-Eloop
2)No I-Active Sense
3)No Smart City Brake
4)No Signature LED headlamps and DRL
5)No cruise control

Why should you buy a Mazda2?

1) For it's price(RM88k), its the only car with a cool HUD that displays your speed including navigation that will appear on it(If you opted for the optional navigation)

2) The only car in it's class to feature a reverse camera as standard(in exception of Iriz and Myvi).
3) The only car in it's class to have engine idle stop(I-STOP) feature
4) Better fuel efficiency with it's higher fuel compression ratio 14.0:1 and efficient Engine/Transmission combo.

(Traffic route: PJ Seapark KFC/Shell Station ---> Jalan 222------>Federal highway----->Oasis Square, Ara Damansara------>Jalan pelukis, Glenmarie------>Empire,Subang-----> Federal highway------> Jalan 222------->KFC) AVG SPEED:75KMph, 75% Highway 25% City, Driver: little-sama


(Traffic route: Klang to KLIA via NKVE and Elite) AVG SPEED:85kmph, 90% Highway 10% City, Driver:little-traveller


5) Unlike Toyota(Old vvti engine) or Honda(Old i-vtec engine Not Earth Dreams engine), the latest Skyactiv-G engine and 6-Speed auto trans are in place.
6) The exterior looks and interior looks is well balance and is a contender for the Miss Hong Kong crown inside out(with the LED it will be crowned immediately).
7) Paddle shift is available for you to play with unlike Honda's City/Jazz as well as Toyota.
8) Cool control knob like BMW's
9) Best looking gear knob that will anchor it to the Mr.Universe title.
10) Sport mode for you to play with.
11) Like a Ford Fiesta, it has Voice control for the MZD connect.
12) Mazda offer Free 3 years service.
13) Have a go with it's handling.
14) Got Walk-away autolock feature


What will stop you from buying this beaut?

1) Small interior space(Rear passenger space). Ridiculously small for a 4metre-long car. Its a front wheel drive car but yet it has a huge bump(its a really huge bump) right at the center of the rear passenger seat.
2) Resale Value and maintenance. Not as good as Toyota and Honda in almost all aspects.
3) No ash tray for you to put coins. Only 1 glove box, 2 Cup holders, and 1 bottle compartment on each side of the front doors. At the back, you only get a pocket pouch on the front passenger seat for you to place magazines and etc.
4) Aircon is not as good as Proton and its not very pleasant when I-stop activates.
5) MZD connect has no mirror-link feature that is available on a Honda.
6) Might get irritated and must get use with the 6-speed auto. It's abit slow to react but when it does it does(Mazda purposely made it so for better fuel consumption).
7) No armrest
8) Only 2 airbags(for those safety cautious drivers out there)
9) No cruise control(for those who wants everything in the market)
10) Engine noise inside the car is great but not so for rain noise. The rain noise is bad.
11)Only 3 years warranty against Honda/Ford's 5 years warranty


Basic FAQ
1) Car only has 1 rear fog light on the right cheek for HB. For Sedan its right at the center.
2) I-stop can be turned off upon starting up the car(Must turn off everytime you start your car)
3) Switching your gear to N will sometimes activate I-STOP
4) I-STOP will not activate whenever you Full Blast your aircon fan speed / 18 degrees celcius, steering is not straight or signal light is on.
5) Sedan's remote key has extra button to open the boot. No such feature for HB.
6) HB has rear wiper. No such feature for Sedan.
7) Interior space for HB and Sedan is the SAME
8) Sedan has more boot space but less practicality for parking against HB.
9) Sedan's rear light doesn't have the same cool LED light like Mazda 3. Its just an ordinary shiny chrome red paint inside.
10)No autolock feature. There isnt any button for you to lock all doors as well. Have to lock all doors via the driver's lock.
11) In case you need to replace your Tyres, http://www.goodyear.com.my/tyre_details.asp?tyre_code=exec

Stuff to inspect upon before signing off to receive your car
1)HUD Snowflake cracks

Original Mazda2


Malaysian market Mazda2 intro





No sedan review because it's not ori. Pun intended

This post has been edited by little-sama: Apr 7 2015, 07:58 PM

Navigation increased price to RM1,270 Include GST I believe. Yesterday went to Bermaz Auto check.

Was puzzling whether it increased or not. Thanks for the update!

oi only put HB picture r?

Performance mod only for people who have the money to maintain and know what they are doing. ICE and styling is more for laymen people like myself.

What miracast adaptor?
Can work with MZD?

Lot of us want to mods original LED headlamp

Need some1 to dissect the MZD to find out.

Miracast device:
http://www.amazon.com/Mirabox-Wireless-Mir...g/dp/B00NFNWN4A

Basically it turns any display with RCA input into WiDi device. Means u can cast screen from your phone/tablet to any Miracast compatible screen.

Waze and Google Maps FTW!!!

Unfortunately very painful...

This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Apr 6 2015, 03:07 PM

U install d? can function?

I dunno how to install la... If I manage to I confirm will share with u guys... Pretty sure it's every Mazda owner with MZD connect dream...

Patient patient. Bz with work ma

YUP, I believe lot of M2 owner willing to spend their bucks for mods mirrorlink mzd and original LED headlamp.

i went to test drive just now and asked about the led headlamp, SA tell me it will cost 5k if get from mazda thailand and let local Mazda assemble it (not voiding warranty). my fren asked him whether can we get from indon and install ourselves he say inside d engine bay quite complicated, so have to be extra careful as high possible to spoil something, duno he got bluff me anot as i dont have the m2 to check about the headlight parts ><

5k for the original headlamps...have to start saving now

Most likely bluff. SAs themselves not tht technical.

im mad with the 5k shit though. And since when thailand selling the Led headlamp? Thai m2 ownsers themselves too are looking for them

This post has been edited by little-sama: Apr 6 2015, 05:27 PM

wth 5k is too expensive. if west msia alrdy 5k, east is how much?5.5k?6k? lol

anyone from sabah here still waiting for their car? i dunno true or not but my SA said 8th only send to sabah..haih..

Have to check with Mazda Japan and see whether we can buy as spare part from them or not.

+ Cruise control for me

Your SA is desperate for sales, get more discount from him.

Never know mazda thailand can order original LED headlamp. I think ur SA bluff u only.

Forumer ntg2lost share a link in M2 v1 forum. I post it here just for some 1 missed it.
The LED headlamp from third party, the eyes damn nice
Any1 from thailand know jalan to bring in to Malaysia?

Nice headlamp design, but would the headlamp leveling knob works for third party lights?

Dear Experts,

Is this car good to buy?
Appreciate your comment.

depend on personal need

Based on Google Translate the TS said it took 14 hours of work and from the looks of the design + 14 hours of glue ripping, I'd say this is a retrofit...

Further discussions in the thread revealed the job is done using Morimoto bulbs.

what do you look for in your car? space, drivability, wow factor, fuel efficiency? or just a machine to get you from A to B?

5k is a bit over for LED headlamps... maybe if they accept trade in for the original lamps... it would cut down the cost i guess

i agree.. 2k is maximum for me to consider lol

Resell value not good compare with toyota or honda,
Parts expensive.
Not much room in rear seats.
Other than these, everything is perfect
Any way it's japan's car of the year (2014-2015) which beats the mercedes C class.




This post has been edited by ssyycc: Apr 7 2015, 10:52 AM

2k is maximum for me too

Wait warranty over and then retrofit for ~RM1k?

what is the headlamp warranty duration?

From what I have heard, the headlamp can potentially affect the other electronic components in the car so should take that into consideration.

after 3 years / 100k KM only go for retrofit

By the time we reach 3 years....
Cons
1.) too lazy for the change or do not care or no more excitement
2.) outdated

Pros
1.) price should have come down
2.) new or better option

deswai I personally think, work hard now... after loan finished buy Mazda 3 or 6 if I reach the appropriate income level...

1 can dream...


This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Apr 7 2015, 01:31 PM

cheers!!!

Just aware there is v2... can someone answer my above questions.. Tq

You have to consult Mazda technicians or tyre shop bro.

Yup totally agree. The tyres look damn thin to me

u can proceed to have a try...
as the car is so new, most of the new owners are still using the original rim and tyre

Definitely will change it right away out from the showroom once i got my m2 But another 3 mth to go.... Waiting is so torturing

From what I understand, the ori Dunlop Enasave is designed to last longer and save FC. So bear in mind the increase of FC and tyre price when u change.

BTW... RRP for potential replacement tyres:


Tyre Brand Size RRP (RM)

Michelin Energy XM2 205/60R16 460
Michelin Energy XM2 215/60R16 484
Continental CPC2 215/60R16 390
Pirelli P7 215/60R16 410
Yokohama 215/60R16 C Drive-2 330


This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Apr 7 2015, 03:25 PM

didn't know for v2. hahaha

Slow laaaa

ya lo i went and bookmarked the old one mah

This post has been edited by r47z: Apr 7 2015, 03:22 PM

we got mention in v1, v2 is opened

It seems that 185 for 16" RIM is non-existent for the moment...

What is the price for original 185/60R16 Dunlop Enasave 300+? I scare this size is "cold market" and price will be expensive.

possible 195/55R16

Unfortunately I can't find it. Like I said, it seems like it's non-existent and probably Mazda also may not have stock.

Alternative replacement listed in previous post.

the only match for this measurement:
Michelin Primacy HP 195/55R16 1000

55 tyre is lower profile so will make ur ride lower overall.

http://www.michelin.com.my/Products-Servic...er=Primacy%20HP

This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Apr 7 2015, 03:56 PM

tyre's diameter from stock 24.7" (185/60R16) drop to 24" (195/55R16)

Yup. And HB is 2cm lower than Sedan.
Not sure will have any issues on Malaysian roads or nt.

and not sure if u noticed, the price is RM1k...

This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Apr 7 2015, 04:01 PM

going from 185 to 215, you may need to change rims too

Just closest match I can manage to find.

yes, m2 rim is 5.5j, max can fit in is 195

195 cnt find any 16" 1. only 15" max. :/

next is Honda City spec tyre:
http://www.michelin.com.my/Products-Servic...Si=-1&sizeLi=-1

Another listing:
http://www.bridgestonetyre.com.my/buy/tyre...er-tyres/ecopia

This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Apr 7 2015, 04:09 PM

185/60R16 vs 195/55R16
Diameter
24.7" vs 24.4" (-1.2%)
Width
7.28" vs 7.68" (+5.5%)
Sidewall
4.37" vs 4.22" (-3.4%)
Circumference
77.7" vs 76.8" (-1.2%)
Revs/Mile
815.6 vs 825.5 (+1.2%)

All Specs are in Inches.
Speed Difference
Tire 1 Tire 2
20 mph 19.8
30 mph 29.6
40 mph 39.5
50 mph 49.4
60 mph 59.3
70 mph 69.1 (dial show 112.6km/h but actual speed 111.2km/h)
80 mph 79
90 mph 88.9

So in the end, you are safe from speed traps. Not sure what about the FC though, since need to spin the wheels more to achieve the same distance (+1.2%). So if as claimed 5.5l/100km (18.2km/l) +1.2% = 5.57l/100km (17.97km/l), full tank 42l, so every full tank you lost 9.66km. All based on theoretical numbers.

I believe some tyre shops will import it in eventually, just a matter of time and price.

The only 195/55R16 tyre I can find is RM1k for now.

Can check is the tyre made in Thailand, the original 185/60R16? If yes, then it is easier to get it in here. If made in Japan, it will be very costly.

Cnt find the exact measurement but I think it's a typo since it's listed under 16" Rim category:
http://www.dunloptire.co.th/product/g/1/3

No price though.

Refer links below, Thai ppl already changed their rim and tyres

If willing to change Rim, no need to worry about tyre liao...

Nice, if it is available there, then we can ask some Dunlop shops to import it in (more expensive) or wait locally-made tyre manufacturers (Continental/Dunlop) to churn out this size. If there is market for this size, they can churn out this size. Time will tell, most probably after 1.5 years or 60,000km, only then you will need to find replacement, unless got nailed at the side wall (touch wood).

This post has been edited by RicoT: Apr 7 2015, 04:33 PM

yeah... but I see Continental Malaysia like never carry Enasave series. Only got the formula D series. But Dunlop Formula series usually <RM300. If got size den good liao. If not den die liao...

here's some pictures of the modded front lamp

http://s1235.photobucket.com/user/Zclear/m...nqzogk.jpg.html

http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff428/...gk.jpg~original

when and where u going to do?

either,

3 years later or
60k travelled.

whichever comes first.

u do first la

Nice to see enthusiasts want to mod the front headlamp.

Haha, any risk to cause the electronic board short for the headlamp mod?

of cos. that's why needs to be done by a certified engineer.

Then, no 1 will mod the headlamp within the warranty period

I could see it's an urgent issue for us, if we could not find tire for our rim. Anyone when doing their servicing can ask the staff in service center?
They should have ready stock for us to change if really something bad happens to our tire.

Put this review in front page for new comer

Yes~~ haha for me it's the value buy for this segment

I believe nothing should be done until warranty is expired. Else, you are giving them a reason to deny warranty, unless you change back to original.

Asking my SA to ask their service center.

Bro, do u have any news that original LED headlamp will bring in as accessories?

Dont even talk abt the LED headlamp...
now i wanted to get boot tray, mud pad, ducktail aso hard to find in malaysia market...

The boot so small still want to put boot tray?

Boot tray is for preventing mud/sand or water/liquid.
coz that original platform dont think can prevent these...

UK selling rubber car boot for HB.

Will think about it when it becomes available.


Apparently yes.


I'm doing my 1st 1000km service today. Will ask later.


I own a soul red sedan Mazda 2 and I can honestly tell you the best value buy for this segment is actually the Honda City.

But in choosing City you let go the "Wow factor", leather interior, sporty engine and handling and gain resale value.

Just want to add something about the struggling hill climb. Apparently, the 5th-6th gear only will struggle during hill climb at 2krpm. Tried using manual mode downshift to gear 3 managed to climb with light paddling at 2krpm at about 40km/h. Upshift to 4 for more speed if the hill is not so steep.

my SA said my car will only deliver on the 18th this month first 8th which is supposed to be today. he said HQ want re-adjust the price again and HQ havent give instruction to deliver car

btw, is dis tint good?



Attached thumbnail(s)

what is the bolt size for mazda? 4x100s? or something else?

LLumar, Raytech, 3M, VKool are top of the range super expensive stuff. If you willing to pay the premium then good la. If not look for others.
I took the RM1100 package from this:
http://www.car-tint.com.my/p/hamelPromotion

If security not really a concern for u then maybe the RM499 6 mil package good enough for you.

This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Apr 8 2015, 09:51 AM

im not taking the security type..my sa will give me rm600 voucher but the cheapest tint cant use the voucher lol

d tint u using is in kl right?i dun think dis brand got in sabah lol everything is limited here..haihh..

The voucher not valid for the cheapest tint means very obvious the price has been inflated.
