Mazda2 [MERGED]

[kenkoyski]

Guys tanong ko lang. pano gamitin ung HOLD function sa m2 natin? naccurious lang ako. thanks

Hold button automatically shifts you down 1 gear and limits it to that gear.. say nasa D ka tapos 4th gear na..pushing the hold button shifts you instantly to 3rd. Good for overtaking lang ito or kailangan mo ng engine break. wag mo lang abusuhin at masisira transmission mo

[kenkoyski]

oo nga meron dun pre.. may ilang choices din..
sana dumami na avaialble accessories ng m2 dito.. kating kati nako magset-up..

guys check out sulit.com.. may nakikita na ko nagbebenta ng accesories.. mahirap kasi kung gagawin mo pa yung ginawa ko dati na order from thailand..takes 3 weeks to arrive kasi sinasabay ko pa sa order ng friend ko to keep the shipping cost down. so far yung mga nakita ko na price nung nagbebenta sa sulit is pretty close to the price if you ship from thailand. hth

in addition dun sa sinabi ni sir kenkoyski...

the hold button also works for S and L

so kung naka hold button ka sa S... gears 1 and 2 lang gagamitin nya

kung naka hold button ka sa L... 1st gear lang gagamitin nya.

hehe. semi-sport mode kumbaga

Yun pala pwede I thought only D gear shift lang kapag nagoovertake kasi ako gamit ko is 'S' then balik sa 'D'. Kapag nakarekta na ako kung gusto ko pa umusad dun ko pinipindot yung 'HOLD' button.

[kenkoyski]

pag nagmamadali ako and i need to weave through traffic, i keep it at S tapos use the Hold button once in a while to overtake.. means 3 and 2nd gear lang gamit ko.

same tayo ng gamit sir, always 'S' gamit ko sa traffic but not pressing 'Hold', masubukan nga at makaranas ulit ng ganitong pakiramdam .

Pero kapag bumper to bumper traffic gamit ko lang is "L".

Hello everyone!

I was looking for informative threads on M2's by owners themselves. So far ito ang nakikita ko. I got mine only six days ago, 1.5 sedan manual. Initial observations are that there is a lag from 1st to 2nd gear. Then parang mahina ang hatak niya from 2nd to 3rd. Pero once it goes fast, it really is a peppy engine. Parang gusto parating naka apak ang gas pedal. Malakas bumirit from 3rd up to 5th. I also feel the road more– I mean the bumps. Perhaps it has something to do with M2's lightweight body and 55 series tires.

Maybe also nag aadjust pa ako. For so long I've been driving an old lifted Pajero with big tires. So i rarely feel the road and I always hear its throaty carburated engine. With the M2, it's all quiet. Hindi ko naririnig ang makina.

Before deciding to buy this, my wife and I test drove a Ford Fiesta and a Toyota Vios. We also looked at the Honda City, Hyundai Getz, and Toyota Avanza. What made us decide on the M2 is simply the availability of the dual airbags– which compared to the other brands' SAME price range models, are not available for both driver and passenger.

Difference of opinion makes the world a colorful place. And for my opinion, the Vios is just all over the place. The City, while the rear design is great, the front looks like a sleepy, long-snouted fish. The Getz is cute and a design classic, but my wife hates it. The Fiesta is all hype. For me it's the ugly, halfbred twin of the M2.

My M2 might not be perfect, but for me it serves its purpose of going from point A to B with peace of mind and a little bit of style. And yes, the smiley front faschia cheers me up every time.

Happy and safe driving to my fellow M2 owners!

hehehehe!

on the seat cover nag tanong na ko dyan dati sa seatmate.. 5.5k cover, 2.5k sidings..kung gusto palagyan nung mga mazdaspeed na burda add 300 each.

guys share ko lang..
kanina, mga 5am bumabaybay ako along commonwealth going ever gotesco.. medyo madilim kaya di ko napansin na may pothole pala.. pakiramdam ko malaking butas yun eh.. tumama yung left front tire ko at naalog utak ko sa lakas.. ang siste, bumigay stock tire ko..

nung papavulcanize ko na, i found out na patapon na yung gulong kasi bukod sa crackhole sa gilid na gulong, tumagos hanggang lower side.. sayang talaga yung gulong, 4 months palang yung unit ko and muntinlupa-alabang lang lagi route ko..

now, i tried looking for that particular tire brand (Dunlop sport s230 ata) kaso walang stock sa lahat ng tireshops.. kahit sa casa and mismmong dunlop wala daw.. january padaw magkakaron as per Dunlop. 6100 isa!

and so i opted for yokohama, kasi yun cheapest pero same quality din naman siguro ng bridgestone for 3300k sa minerva.. nung pinapalitan na yung gulong, nakita ko na may small deformity dun sa stock rim ko (dent like) na sigurado akong dahil dun sa pothole na yun kasi yun mismo yung spot na nagkacrack/butas yung gulong.. sabi nung mekaniko wala naman daw magiging problema dun.. wala ba talaga sa tingin nyo guys? pinalagay ko nalang sa likod..

be cautious nalang mga bro sa part na yun ng commonwealth..
sobrang asar na asar talaga ako.. pinacheck ko suspension ko buti walang tama..

Based sa past experiences ko with alloy wheels, marurupok talaga ang mga ito. Years ago nadaan din ako sa lubak and nagchip off ang mags– kasinlaki ng thumb nail.

If you guys have ever been to sa bilihan ng mga gulong at goma sa Mapua Street sa Manila, parallel to Rizal Avenue, marami kayong makikitang sirang mag wheels sa mga tindahan dun.

Ang stock wheels (na may plastic cover) are actually stronger but heavier (Ito yung spare tire/wheel). Ang steel wheels kasi hindi nabibiyak, most of the time nabibingkong lang ito, which puedeng ma-repair to regain its original radius. More pliable 'ika nga.

Airween, when buying tires always check for the date of manufacture (usually it's a recognizable set of numbers showing month/year. If not, it's a code). Noong ignorant pa ako, I was sold a nearly 8 year old tire. It was an old inventory. After just a few weeks, I had a blowout. Buti na lang hindi ako tumatakbo ng mabilis.

Bridgestone and Yokohama are very good brands. The P6thou casa price is obviously marked up way too high. Yan na ang price ng isang 31.5x10x15 offroad mud tire. Usually naman safe bumili sa mga small tire shops, as long as you are well-informed of the tire specs necessary for your car (speed rating, tread type, etc.) and marunong kang mambusisi ng ipapakita sa iyo. And kadalasan pa nga, mas mura sa mga shop na ito compared sa mga malalaking may pangalan na. Pareho lang naman ang gulong.

Feel your steering now that nadaan ka sa malalim na pothole. I read somewhere in this thread about problems with steering alignment.

(PS: thanks for the warm welcome guys!)

Puro at binyag inabot ng MZ2 natin...

Ako naman dito sa basement parking ng PBCom meron sumalbahe sa MZ2 ko nagkaron ngkonting dent malapit sa right rear passenger door (tama ba term ko?) :fire:. Kanina umaga wala yun before umalis ng bahay.

Ano po ba magandang solution for the small dent? dalhin ko na ba sa casa or sa latero?

if ever magkano kaya cost kung papaayos po ito?

Maraming salamat po sa sasagot ng concern ko....
