2015 Mazda 2

Also noticed you can use the paddles even w/o shifting the gear stick to manual mode, but only if Sport mode is on, otherwise there is no response from the paddles.

Really it doesn't work on your m2? The paddles seem to work even if im on auto mode but not on sport mode.

Or maybe the rpm was already high back then. 😂

Gamit na gamit last week yung Mz2 (usually 3x a week lang siya nada-drive). Notice ko lang the Mz2 is kind of sluggish during normal/eco mode, kaya halos lagi naka-Sport mode ako. But there's always this danger of over-revving, since the ECU is kind of aggressive with the gear shifts i.e. loves to stay in the low gears.

Anong posible maging problem if you hit the red dash, sir Yatta? I'm actually very careful when im on sport mode bec. Im afraid it might hit the red dash.

If individual preferences were unanimously identical, there won't be room for so many carmakers around. 1 would be enough.
I can only wish that lone 1 won't be CVT.
On the hobo 3, Yatta sir, the paddles work on both D & Manual....no S mode.

I was referring to your post saying that the tachometer is more important so it was placed in the middle.

If that was the case, how come the lower end variants not only have a smaller tach, but it doesn't even have a needle?

Digital tachs are the tackiest thing I've seen on an instrument cluster.

^Oh that, I don't know. Cutting corners I guess. A lot of the lower-end variants of cars in the 90s and early 2000s never had tachs.

But like you I hate digital tachs, actually anything digital in the cluster (speedo, temps, fuel). I find the digital speedo in the cluster annoying/distracting, the HUD however has saved me from a ticket a dozen times.

+1 on digi gauge dislike. Why do they have to mess w/ things so ageless.

^really? Sabi nung Isang dealer its from Thailand?

It's Thailand, that sales agent from Mazda Pasig doesn't even know the correct facts about the vehicles he / she is selling.

Confirmed. Thailand. AAT Plant.

I think other Mazda variants is Made in Japan, right?

You're the one selling, you tell me.

Yes sir they switch in Thailand.

Mas magiging mahal ba ang M2 if Made in Japan?

[Yatta]

^Posible kasi yung Civic nag-mura nung nilipat sa Thailand ang production. Mahal kasi ang labor at kuryente sa Japan. Maganda rin naman quality ng Thailand-made. I mean papayag ba ang Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda at Mazda na ilagay at itaya ang brand nila kung pangit?

[travajante]

This from Top Gear:
"There are two sources of Mazda vehicles in the Philippines: Japan and Thailand. With the exception of the Mazda 2 and the BT-50 from Thailand, which are imported under the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement at 0% tariff, the rest of the Mazda cars and SUVs are produced and imported from Hiroshima at 20% CBU import tariff."

Hi guys! Anyone have tried to bring his M2 to Baguio? ☺

[Yatta]

^Di ko pa nasusubukan, pero kung kaya ng mga original Beetle, Corolla DXs at 4K-powered OTJs, kaya yan ng Mz2.
