2015 Mazda 2

[travajante]

hello sir/ sirs, i'm new to this forum and can't seem to find where to post my simple concern, i'm a new owner of M2 hb and been driving it for jusy a couple of months, what i noticed in this car is that, whenever i speed up to close to 100kph the volume of the stereo would all of sudden be pumped up too, just curious if this thing happens on all M2s, it's kind of annoying but just said to myself that maybe she's just reminding me that i'm going fast, anyone noticed the same thing? TIA

You have ALC on...

Automatic Level Control (ALC):

Automatic Level Control automatically adjusts audio volume and sound quality according to the speed of the vehicle. When the vehicle goes faster, volume increases. When the vehicle slows down, volume decreases.

USING AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL:

Select SETTINGS from the Home screen or Entertainment screen.
Select SOUND to adjust settings.
Select Auto Level Control (standard audio) for automatic volume adjustment at 7 levels; slide to Off to turn off

Anytime, sir. Yeah, this site can act up & can be clunky....like now.

1. In terms of FC, I have both a diesel SUV and an M2, I would say the M2 consumes about the same amount of fuel as my Sorento, sometimes even better. But of course diesel fuel is cheaper so I still travel more kilometers per P500 of diesel vs P500 of gas.

2. Mazda's have always been more difficult to find parts for than say Toyotas (where the joke goes that even a sari-sari stote has a Toyota timing belt) or even a Honda. Its a chicken and egg situation, stores will not stock up on parts unless the market demands it, and buyers are reluctant to buy a car unless the shops support it. Mazford I think is the go to place for parts.

3. With Yojin3, Mazda has you covered for the next 3 yers/30,000 km (with restrictions). After that, I think it will be the same for any other brand.

Thanks yatta sir for the reply. will take into account your inputs.

I was facing the same questions more than a coupla years ago when I decided on my 1.5 HB3, polar01 sir. I closed my eyes & took the leap. My 1st Mazda. Now, into my 3rd year of Mown3rship, I've had zero regrets. Nothing but happiness. Besides kodo & all the Skyactiv engineering, It has been reliable & fun....& Yojin 3 got us covered. You go in every 6months or 10k km....PMS is free including oil & filters(oil, air, cabin). That's 60k km or 3yrs of no worries & shell-out there. Warranty is like most out there....100k km.
That was more than 2 years back. Just recently, the family faced another car need....The story a bit different....I had no more doubts on choice. An M2 hatch....grab 1 & find the reasons why it was awarded Japan's COTY when it came out. Hopefully, you'll feel like this guy....

thanks travajante sir for the valuable input and will get the plate relocator from you if i finally decide to get M2....well more inclined now than ever, but need to do some more assignments to fully convince me.

Just to let you guys know that this thread has helped us a bit in deciding which small car to buy, thanks to you guys for sharing your thoughts, been lurking at this site for quite sometime now and really some reviews and infos are of help to those not so savvy about cars, but yeah i can drive, haha🤘🏼

Anytime, sir. This thread can give you 1st hand perspective on the car & the ownership experience. The car strikes a good balance....
-Classy, premium kodo minimalism.
-Skyactiv Engineering that even has Toyota in for the ride. Toyota Yaris iA in North America are rebadged Skyactiv M2s.
-Nippon Reliability reinforced by Yojin3. Only premiums offer this draw.
-And, that Mazda driving experience & road feel. A cut above the rest.

A good buddy customed me something...to help me identify faster the car in the lot, he says.
Buddies, they are a blessing.

Mini 0903 and Viofo A119 are good options. Uses super capacitor so good for hot weather. No risk of exploding unlike lithium battery.

So in general capacitors are better than batteries right? I'm scratching the yi off my list then. Between the viofo and the mini which is the better buy? And which store sells them? TIA

Yes, capacitor has higher heat tolerance and much longer life than battery. More importantly, no explosion issue.

Most users find the A119 better.

How affordable? Real leather is expensive (a pair of shoes pa lang ilang libo na) so most just use leatherette or synthetics or even vinyl. There's Leder Interia, Seatmate, MG Square.

Normally to save on cost only the seat cushion, backrest and headrest are clad in leather. The rest are clad in leatherette.
