Mazda2 [MERGED]

[renzo_d10]

^ Loved the ride ? Sell your Honda Jazz then get the Mazda 2. And, since you're working at Mazda itself, they might just give you favorable discounts. ;)

Yeah limited stocks lang but for the Spirited Green na MAZDA 2 hatch... kasi Limited edition siya...Well, don't think twice in buying a MAZDA 2 Hatch pero I would suggest that you test drive the unit in order to feel the difference. I myself had a Honda CRV 2000 and switched to a Honda Jazz kahit I am working in Mazda Alabang pero nung naidrive ko na yung Mazda 2 papuntang display namin na feel ko yung difference talaga... sobrang tipid, powerful and not only that takaw tingin talaga because of its sporty look and ofcourse yung color.... If interested just contact me at this number 09275015378 or at my landline 7104906.

agree ako jan. lahat tinest drive ko (Jazz,city, yaris, swift), and the Mazda 2 really has a different feel. i even liked it more than the Mazda 3. hehe.

[aargh]

i read somewhere that the mazda2 sedan 1.5Lm/t will cost 725k. plus they'll also release a 1.3L variant... buti ung sedan may m/t, yung hatch wala...

[laswoosh]

yup am waiting for the mazda2 sedan 1.5 manual. if it flops, city 1.3 m/t na cguro ako, unless early release yung ford fiesta.

march 10 daw nasa trinoma mazda2

driving one for the weekend. a small birthday gift by a good friend close to mazda ph.

versus my 2007 a/t honda jazz, its around 5-6x better.

exterior is nice. driving a white one. overall exterior package is sporty (i like)
interior used good materials (except sa sidings, should have been upholstered. although mura lang naman sa suking upholstery shop)
nice comfortable seats. slightly small for big rear ends
good hatak, uses a traditional 4 speed a/t. love the engine growl at mid-high rpm not like the buzzing of my jazz.
space: smaller. definitely smaller than my jazz. rear seats fold but not flat.
ride is more comfortable than my lowered jazz and stock 08 city.
some suspension clunks (but might be from high tire pressure)
decent sounding radio
fuel consumption seems to be at 10+ km/l. will have to confirm this pa.

conclusion: 2007 honda jazz for sale. any takers?

paps, parang familiar yung nick mo ah..

i've seen a mazda 2 sa parking ng moa...pero parang mas gusto ko porma nung mazda 3 (sakin lang po)......parang naiiyangan kasi ako sa likod nung mazda 2 parang sa yaris...pero hanep yung harapan...ang ganda ganda..

baka intayin ko yung mazda 2 sedan neto na lang before ako mag-palit....

parang gusto ko kasi right now eh comfort and form....i think mazda could give me that...yoko na mag-palit ng rim..waaa...

saw a Mazda 2 * Rob Pioneer's Parking..

[gongrhey]

may pricing na ba para sa mazda 2 sedan?

[hapahopi]

may pricing na ba para sa mazda 2 sedan?

725K sa sedan MT at 785K sa AT

[Gen. Miting]

nakita ko na yan ilan beses na isang white, isang red, isang green. i still maintain it looks too curvy. para yun mga luma na hyundai elantra and civic esi.

iba na style ng tsikot ngaun, yun mga macho-looking with the chevy cruze and the lancer leading the pack

mukhang honda city din ah (hope so), with a lower price tag and higher transmission! kelan kaya pwede test drive?

[meledson]

saw a mazda 2 last night sa SLEX, cute car but looks smaller than the new jazz.

[Type 100]

Next to the hatch, the sedan looks dreadfully malnourished in the wheel department.

[blythe07]

any update on the mazda 2 fuel consumption? yung mga mazda 2 owners diyan, post naman kayo..

[eggman]

Maganda naman ang Sedan na Mazda2 same goes sa 5 door hatch version.

can anyone explain? newbie here who is looking to buy a sub-compact within the month:

honda city 1.3 transmission:

power - 100 ps / 6000 rpm
torque - 13.0 kg-m / 4800 rpm

mazda2 1.5 transmission:

power - 103 ps / 6000 rpm
torque - 135 m / 4000 rpm

btw, what is the difference between power and torque? why does the mazda2, which has 1.5 transmission (which i assume should be more powerful), only have a 3 ps advantage over the city? sorry bopol talaga ako dito.

also, if you say aux-in, wala usb connect ang mazda2? if i have an mp3 player or usb? does that mean i cant connect it to the audio system of a car that has no usb connect?

what is the difference pala with a steel rim (with hub cap) versus alloy wheels?

PS = Pferdestarke, or the German DIN unit roughly equivalent to horsepower (HP). So basically you can interchange PS and HP with negligible differences.

KG-M = kilogram-meters, while Nm = Newton-meters. 1 kg-m = 10 Nm.

Horsepower is a unit of WORK. It is good for showing off and for high-speed runs (at high speed the engine is working to push the car, more speed = more work done). However it's torque that matters more in most driving situations because it explains how much twist an engine can generate, and consequently how well it can accelerate.

Picture yourself turning a wrench to tighten an already-tight lugnut on your car. You're generating more torque than most engines will ever do, but you make 0 HP because scientifically you're not doing any work - the lugnut isn't moving!

How much torque an engine develops and how early it can generate it is important. Ideally you should be looking at a torque and HP curve, not just a set of max numbers, to see how HP and torque are delivered as RPMs (revolutions per minute = engine speed) rise. If an engine can generate its max torque at lower RPM, that's usually better for everyday driveability. Diesels specifically are meant to generate a lot of torque at low RPM because they haul heavy loads, while gasoline engines tend to make max torque at their midrange engine speeds (4000-5000 RPM) - usually for overtaking purposes.

Then again, the engine is not alone. How well it works with its transmission's gear ratios also determines how well it will accelerate. The car's body weight will also have a say: Is the car underpowered for its size and weight? A test drive will tell you more about this than any brochure will.

also, if you say aux-in, wala usb connect ang mazda2? if i have an mp3 player or usb? does that mean i cant connect it to the audio system of a car that has no usb connect?

AUX-IN simply means a car has an auxiliary 3.5mm stereo mini jack to connect to an external audio source - MP3 players, cellphones, etc.

If a car's audio system has USB input, it will also accept thumbdrives, external hard disks, etc. If the audio system is spiffy enough, it can even transfer control of an iPod to the audio head unit.

what is the difference pala with a steel rim (with hub cap) versus alloy wheels?

Steel is heavy; wheels made out of it are usually dinky items with hub caps to decorate them. Alloy wheels are usually made out of lighter aluminum combined with other materials into an alloy, and they're shaped as they really are.

thanks! i still dont understand why people would pay a substantial amount of money to have alloy wheels instead of the cheaper steel rims. while i heard that steel wheels are heavier? does that mean its just going to be heavier to change wheels when your tire blows out? or is there something i still dont know about steel rims, i.e., results in poor driving condition, it will affect the suspension of the car. What about this thing that i heard about hub caps being easy to steal and that they easily come off when you run into humps and cracks in the road? is this true? we had a kia pride ages ago that had hub caps and yes they do come off easily, but am thinking that after 15-20 years, hub caps have better quality now and will not come off easily?

Two words: UNSPRUNG WEIGHT. It refers to everything that isn't supported by the suspension itself: the wheel, the tire, the brakes, the suspension components.

Reduce your unsprung weight and you get a lot of benefits: better acceleration, better handling, longer lifespan for your brakes and suspension, better fuel economy...that's just about the major benefit right there.

Aluminum is lighter than steel, but it's just as rigid. Depending on the manipulation of the material via construction technique (gravity casting, low-pressure casting, flow forming, forging), aluminum wheels can be made even more lightweight for the same level of strength - but they can become much more expensive, as is the case with forged wheels which cost PhP100K++ for a set.

Most aluminum alloy wheels that come stock on cars are gravity cast as it's the cheapest method of manufacture.

Regarding hubcaps and wheel covers...well they're just plastic masks and they really aren't integrated into the wheel, so I wouldn't expect them to stay on forever.
