2015 Mazda 2

[germs]

Realistically, I doubt Mazda would accommodate you. I guess your best bet is have Mazda sell you the headlight and wheels of the TOTL but you will still keep the stock headlight and wheels of your unit. Anywhere you look at it, this will be more expensive at your part.

I am saying this because from what I know, Mazda are all CBU and they wouldn't want to keep stock of your original headlights and wheels.

Regarding upgrading vs original variant, that really depends on the price of the parts you wanted to upgrade. If you go OEM and buys only from casa, it would be more expensive. But If you can source cheaper parts due to connections or friends in the country where Mazda 2 is assembled or you will be using more affordable but non OEM aftermarket offerings, then that option could cheaper.

In addition, the headlights of the TOTL variant has sensors for auto on/off which are placed right behind the rear view mirror. I do not think this can be installed outside the factory.

any news on actual FC?

any news on actual FC?

It has the same engine and tranny as the 1.5 3 but on a much lighter body. If my 1.5 3 can get 10-11 kpl on mixed harurot driving then the 2 should easily exceed this

[kimbon]

^^ tama ba itong premise, 1.5 Mz2 is same engine as 1.5 Mz3 where as 2.0 Mz3 = 2.0 CX-5? TIA

Yep. Mazda has a relatively limited lineup of engines and trannies.

Yep. So as with the 2.5L engine ng CX-5 at ng Mazda 6

Thanks for this link, Walter! I've been waiting a while for actual figures. :D

The article is hinting that they might bring the 1.5R hatch.

The engine on the Mazda 2 and the 3 are basically the same, but the local 2 does not have the 4-2-1 headers of the 3. Thus, less hp (114hp vs 108hp) on the 2. For the others, yes they are the same (M3 2.0L vs CX-5 2.0, M6 2.5L vs CX-5 2.5L).

It doesn't? Confirmed? The 13:1 compression ratio requires the 4-2-1 headers.

[germs]

It doesn't? Confirmed? The 13:1 compression ratio requires the 4-2-1 headers.

The Mazda 2's compression ratio is 12:1.

Tinanong ko ito nung MIAS. Sabi nila, they will pero wala pa daw pricing. Ang ganda pa naman ng 1.5R hatch, of course in Soul Red color.

[Walter]

Soul red color comes with white leather seats.

Hi Everyone,

I just reserved a hatchback this week but the unit will be released by 3rd week of July (at the earliest) as per Mazda Alabang. I was just wondering what cars are the direct competitors for the 2015 Mazda 2?


Thanks!

[StockEngine]

Close price competitors nissan sylphy and honda city and honda jazz and toyota vios.

[Walter]

Direct competitors would be Honda Jazz & Toyota Yaris.

[Louie Anson Ng]

Direct competitors would be Honda Jazz & Toyota Yaris.

Shouldn't the Fiesta and Hyundai Accent HB be included as well?

I guess you mean the Nissan Almera instead of the Sylphy.
