I'm planning to get 16"s... but I have no idea which type of rubber i should fit (not familiar with the whole tire rubber width/diameter combinations)... Maybe you guys can give me a recommendation?
I'm not worried about voiding my suspension warranty but I do worry if it will void the Yojin3...
Btw, do you guys have any idea if I can get a shark fin antenna that matches the M2's dynamic blue color?![]()
Do you have any particular wheel in mind? Budget? Use?
OE specs of M2 DJ include 16s...
16x5.5" et40 w/ 185/60/16
Ebay has OE M3 sharkfin for $60+...you might have to paint to match as they probably don't have your color on USDM 3s. Note to include the nut, PN: BAN666A3Z, upon ordering. Your stubby's stock nut won't fit.
I'm looking at Rota Grid / Boost / Slipstream for my initial choices but I'm not quite sure where to look yet so I haven't seen the ones from other brands (fearing they would be too expensive)... I'm hoping to get the set with some econo/decent rubber for under 40k...
Didn't know converting my antenna to a shark fin would require a bit more effort so I'd probably leave that out for later hehe...
Btw, I've noticed some cracking on my windshield's upper rubber moulding, I'm not sure if this was already here when I got the car (almost 2 weeks old)... Need some advice on what I should do about this since I don't want it getting worse in the long run... Thanks!

Mga sirs newbie here, question sa mga naka Mazda 2 v+ with GVC diyan, tinanggal ba ni mazda yung power folding side mirrors? thanks!
Kung hatchback yan na V+ wala syang powerfolding mirrors afaik.
Pati ata keyless entry wala unlike sa sa sedan.

Ours came pretty bare, I dint care much for the minor features. I was after the M2 drive. Same engine, same tranny, same car. Just added the paddles in.

Yes sir, actually those are the reasons why we are only getting the v+ and not for the top of the line. To be honest, quite disappointing kung tinanggal ni mazda yung power folding mirrors since all of our cars are equipped with this feature. anyway, thank for your feedback, sir!![]()
Ano update? Wala na power fold yung V+ sedan?

Automatic folding would have been nice, but I don't mind twisting the dial to fold and unfold the side mirrors.
Anyway, after driving the M2 V+ for a month, here are my thoughts.
Pros:
- Great handling. Having switched back and forth between a Vios, noticeable ang difference sa handling and throttle response. It's hard to explain--best way to describe it is smooth.
- Best interior at this price range imo.
- So many ways to fiddle with the driving position to find your sweet spot. Took me at least 1 week before finding mine.
Cons:
- No switch/button to open the boot from inside the cabin. I'm worried security guards end up damaging the rear camera when trying to find the boot switch.
- Armrest would've been nice.
- Stock headlamps are a little dim. I thought it was just the medium black tint, but I compared it with another car with medium black 3M, dim talaga ang stock halogens ng M2. I'm considering an LED retrofit after consulting the casa.
Haven't gone on a long drive yet, so my consumption is still at 8km/l--Cebu traffic is getting as bad as MLA. About to break into 500 km on my odo. I should try the full tank method this week.
BTW, Mazda's spec sheet for the M2 is a little confusing. I'm seeing reviews with the V+ coming with a body kit, while our unit didn't come with one.
Hi Sir. Thank you for your insights. Does your mazda 2 is already equipped with gvc? Also, am disappointed to know that there is no switch to open the trunk from inside the car.
Actually sir, when mazda philippines first introduced the v+ variant, it does come along with body kits however, when I asked the agent, I was told that that current v+ sedan variant is no longer equipped with the body kits since nasunog daw yung factory nung pinagkukuhanan nila. I am not really sure if this is true.
