• 2015 Mazda2 1.5L SkyAc... - Авто та транспорт
Mazdas are very underrated cars. You'll need to drive one to understand why it's so good
I was so shocked of how good this car drives and handles! Its quick, nimble and quite practical too. This is the kind of car that I would like to grow old with 😂
Not so sure about the practicality part 😂
@@WapCar the boot is able to fit a regular sized wheelchair FYI despite the small size. Yeah, I tried ✌🏻
i wish i could afford it because i would fly to puerto rico and have a vacation and buy it and ship it back to mainland usa.
The level of quality, technology, and driving experience in the Mazda2 is nowhere seen in its competition.
Would you say its as fun to drive as a Fiesta?
@@maxmorris4562 its a great little car I have one and would say it rivals anything in its class, the interior is impressive and it feels very much like a 'drivers' car.
I love his enthusiasm for this wonderful car. When I had to replace my Mini Cooper with bJapanese reliability, this gem fit my budget band my taste for great driving. Unfortunately we don't have the 2 in the USA so I bought it as the Toyota Yaris, which is just a Mazda 2 with a Toyota nose. Low environmental impact, fun driving and great to look at. Thank you for a great car video!
I love this kind of honest review of car ownership by motor journalists. They should really make lots of videos on this.
Honestly this owner is really good in marketing this car. Very convincing, what a natural persuasive personality
Own one and absolutely love the handling !! I did mod on the sound proofing on doors and roof and it improves the overall experience even more
Sounds like the perfect mod!
For interest’s sake-what did you do to reduce noise?
Great video, I love my Mazda 2 as well! Nice to see an enthusiastic video about the car. They drive so great and have a very special quality to them that you have to drive to understand.
What a lovely little car. I'm jealous you actually get the real Mazda2 while in the States we have to settle for it being rebadged as a Toyota which I wouldn't have a problem with if it weren't for the fact that I think the Mazda2 looks better as a Mazda. I also wish they offered the hatchback with a stick.
I’ve owned a mazda 2 with retrofit auto cruise and gps navigation. Drove it for 7 years before I sold it. I had to say I missed the car. It served me well over the years.
The only thing if you (2nd hand buyers) need to be aware of; the digital meter on the centre might have an issue. At least it happened to mine. 6th years of owning, 75 become 15. But theres a HUD (and it is still working) so its fine.
Driving 2015 also, I did the cheap upgrade to audio, use the 'magic audio cable' method. It's bearable after that upgrade.
You r doing a good job ! I like your show. ,
Great review - really helpful.
Thanks to you I ended up buying a used 2015 Mazda 2 Sedan for my first car
So , hows the experience so far? I thinking getting it in 2021
Hi can share your experience handling one since im considering to get used mazda2 also
@@ummisyakirahmohdrazni7937 I'm not sure what to say about it since I'm not really a car guy. But ever since owning it. It makes me enjoy driving a lot more than I ever imagine.
Been following your videos since you started discussing the Mazda 3, I loved how you are so passionate about design and your focus on the feel of the car. My first Mazda was the same as yours. It was a very difficult decision to sell my 2 but I must say that the 3 is the definitive progression for the brand.
Appreciate it! Sounds like you're enjoying your Mazda a lot 😃
Great vid! I have the same mazda 2. Great car!😊
Wow.. Excellent video. Thank you for the valuable info!
I got mine in 2019 - the red one. I
Would you recommend it? Not sure whether to get one or a fiesta as my first car.
@@maxmorris4562 I don’t know fiesta but Mazda 2 is a cute small car which for my needs (mainly in the city) is perfect. When I got it, all my friends were like „wow, how pretty it is” ;)
@@maxmorris4562 try both and then make a decision. IMO, Mazda as a brand is seen as a “more prestigious” one than Ford - at least where I live :)
Ya. I'm driving Mazda 3 HB
Really great handling and able to travel high speed with little vibration
Fantastic on the highway 😃
@@WapCarWhat are these like for using oil any reports of them like the modern Toyota models?
I'm in New York, USA and am driving the same ... 2015 Mazda 3 2.0L 6-speed manual. Love the car. I have autocrossed the car ... it is great to drive. And it gets 60MPG on the highway in the summer.
I have a Mazda 2 DJ model 2014 6 speed auto with the optional higher compression 81KW engine. I live in Brisbane Qld Australia. It has always been a very good car, with the only real issue being that rediculous stop/start system. That system costs me a new starter motor at 60,000 and I have now started on my third battery at 76.000. Mazda here wanted $1,400 AUD for the new starter motor, but I got one from another service shop for $600 fitted. The car does have a strange noise in the steering and nobody can find out what it is .. even though two new struts have been fitted. I simply don't bother about it any more !!! The noise sounds like a sticky rubber washer.
One thing why did you worry about that boot size on your trip? ... all you needed to do was put the seats down and then you have a gigantic space for all your luggage. I have carried all kinds of large objects in the back of my Mazda 2. Even a 58 inch TV in its new box.
But now Mazdas are very expensive with all the electronic so called safety gear they have put in. I don't need a system to stop me running into the rear of the car in front of me or running off the left side of the road etc??? After driving for about 63 years, I most certainly don't want a system to do my reverse parking for me ???
These systems should be optional so people can get a cheaper car without them.
Thank you for very well made video! I love your personality!
Ty for this, superb & very helpful. Looking to get a 2nd hand 2017 M2 sedan.
Great video that definitely earns the subscribe button! Btw, do you think it is a good idea to get a used Mazda 2 Hatchback (2015) in 2020? Am I going to face a lot of maintenance issues / high maintenance cost?
Great video Adrian. Very interesting for a petrol head like me. Nice car and looks good after 5 years. :-)
Thanks for the support 😃
e
Nice review of your own car bro. Bagus dan cekap.
since 2008... owned 3 mazda variants... bought new.. and services in bermaz SC...
i have tried outside shops that handle mazdas too... end of the day... the difference is marginal..
mazda owners should go back to SC for the continuous services even after waranty is over.. its worth it. and also, outside workshops, some may use compatible ford parts but charge you for mazda parts etc. be safe and wise guys. enjoy your mazdas...
Yeap that's true, the difference in cost between Bermaz SC and independent workshop is not that much. 😃👍🏻
Lovely review ! Hahaha definitely agree with the odd tyre size that Mazda opt for. Any how I think you mention the wheels width wrongly. Should be 5.5j instead of 6.5j. I own the last gen before the current new facelift. Definitely happy with every penny spend on this car.
Still the Tyre shop installed a 205, 55,r16 on the stock rim
Thanks for pointing out, we stand corrected! It is indeed 5.5J 😃
The odd tyre size is to balance fuel economy and agile turn in 😃
Hi Adrian, would like to know what you did to improve the sound insulation and reduce the NVH level of your Mazda 2?
Maybe a similar video on your parent's civic. Thank you. Great video. Keep up the good work.
Great review. You would have even more fun with the Mazda 2 if you had the manual transmission, although I believe the automatic will prove to be more reliable than the VW DSG. Keep up the good work .
Super nice Review :)
Thanks!
my friend said his 2015 Mazda 2 still suffering from the steering rack issue even visiting the mazda SC for more than 10 times, the krok krok krok always come back like ghost haunting. but his friend 2016 Mazda 2 doesn't seem to have the problem...
Hi i can tell you did your homework on this car, you got a good formula for car reviews.
do you have a video on the mazda 2 sedan with the sport trim?
Thanks for watching. Nope we do not have 1 at the moment
Adrian rolling up in the Smokey-something-mica pink Mazda 2, how gangsta
😎
Great video on your Mazda 2 ownership, what do you think about the cx3 2016 model?
The 2016 CX-3 is a fun car to drive but it's quite noisy. The facelifted CX-3 is much much better in terms of NVH and handling.
I enjoyed my second gen Mazda 2 but did loose confidence after a persistent failure of the iStop system.
A correct new battery failed to fix the problem, which led to me changing over to Mitsubishi which has been completely reliable.
My first impression of the gauge cluster was it looks a lot like the ones from McLaren MP4-12C.
14:08
So cool you got to me the designer. What insights were these? Would love to know more.
How much did it cost to tweak in the Android Auto into the system?
And another one, is it really that worth it to purchase the 2020 facelift version rather than this version? Should i wait a couple years for the price of the 2020 version to go down a bit or just purchase the 2015 version? Hope you can answer this, cause am really falling in love with this car
Am also a proud owner of Mazda2 GVC. Mine got during the tax holiday (2018), unless cannot afford one... 😄😅
How much was your Mazda 2?
@@ansonooi3860 Around RM 87k if i not mistaken.. nowadays, the brand new 2nd gen facelifted Mazda2 2020 with GVC Plus would cost you around RM 104k.. Gila.. 😅
@@MhdAizatAbdRahim oh you've got a great deal there! Would've loved to have the GVC 😃
Congrats on the smart purchase bro!
I bought it for 72k for the basic spec. Haha and now no more basic spec
I enjoyed this video it's so educative. Kindly advise if it's easier to maintain the mazda demio diesel powere engine. How cost effective is it compared to petrol engine.
Fantastic, any advises on buying a Mazda 3 sedan 2014 model? Planning one from carsome
Wait until skyactive x, the compression will be more higher.. Hope mazda won't add turbo on thier small engine in the future or very high pressure on combustion and silinder wall will increase risk for damage to engine.
Of course mazda engineers and other car maker knows about all this but they have to comply with todays almost no tolerance in emission requirements and regulations.
Thank you for the video, very good info.
I also got attracted to the centrally mounted tachometer, with the next car having this placement is the Toyota 86/ Subaru BRZ twins, so this is a pretty sporty feature. Too bad, bank didnt allow so went for a dynamically-lacking Toyota Vios 2NR instead.
Yeap, no other new Mazda (except for the MX-5) has this centre rev counter anymore. The Vios is also a pretty good car 😃
So when year is the facelift of this model? And how much in €uro were the costs
Correction: Mazda 2 DJ rims are 5.5j x 16 ET40, but produced by Enkei.
Thanks for pointing out, we stand corrected! 😃
Hi. I drive a sedan gvc model from 2018 and I loved the car. Only that now soon I may need a tyre change. Do you think sticking with the original rims is better and try to get whatever tyres to fit on it or just get a new set of rims?
Sticking to original rims and go for 195/55 R16 is good enough for fuel economy and better high speed stability. If you want a new look then a new set of rims, preferably 7J width 😃
I got an used 2015 Mazda 2 sedan last year. Find it so nice to drive compare to other B segment sedan. The only complaint I have is the gearbox tends to be a bit sluggish at crawling traffic. Other than that, the NVH is somewhat harsher but I take it as some sort of feedback to remind myself I'm driving at faster speed. Overall, no regret buying this car although it is used car.
Glad you're enjoying your Mazda2 😃
Should I buy this over myvi icon 2nd gen?
@@muhdmat8454 it is much better than myvi in terms of driving feel. I don't like myvi as I feel it is damn floaty at around 100kmh.
Bro, any car phone holder that you can recommend? So difficult to find a decent one that works for Mazda 2 dashboard.
Your Mazda 2 has a ref counter and digital speedometer.
And its from 2015.
Mine is from 2017 and it has a normal speedometer and digital ref meter.
Crazy stuff.
That myvighini behind your mazda lol
😆
I'm driving the same white mazda 2 in the netherlands, full option gtm with led headlights
I have done chiptuning on the skyactiv-g
With v power ron 98 it does 135hp and 200nm of torque its crazy for a little n/a 1.5 engine
Must be a hoot to drive!
@@WapCar yes because of the weight its fun, not superfast but fun
Can you chip tune any car.? I have previous gen Mazda 2 special edition. Can it benefit from this? Are there any negatives?
What's the specs on those wheel? I only heard 16 x 7. May I know the offset? I also have a mazda 2 DJ, looking to upgrade my wheels to 16 x 7 as well
I have a question couldn't find an answer for.. the mazda2 engine has 3 power outputs. How do i know which one my car have?or make sure of
nice review
I have an all new mazda 3 2020 (in sea).. this really helps in estimating future costs.. have you not have a part replaced in your 2? Like shocks or anything major?
None so far, only batteries, brake pads and light bulbs 😃
Hi Adrian, I've may I know how/where do I go (workshop) to side load android auto ? My FW version is 59.00.502, I did some looking and found out I can't install it normally
Hi Adrian, like to know do u really follow Mazda manual book and dint change the oil for gearbox even after warranty end?
Hello there! You gotta eat more.
By the way, any comment about Mazda's gearbox and the atf changing schedule? In recent years, Mazda mentioned no need to change as the atf is designed for a lifetime. Thanks!
We'll let Adrian know that haha!
If you have the budget to change the ATF, do go ahead with it. Fresh oil is always better for lubrication and protection 😃
Hello, great review !! What wheels configuration did you choose: tire width and offset. Greetings from Chile
Watching this in 2022 because I’m shopping for a used car for my gf and getting to the fuel part is 😅 because RON97 is now insanely expensive to run. If Adrian sees this, do you still run 97 on the car?
I have a 2018 Mazda 2 here in the UK (Japanese built). Its a great car to drive and good looking. Nothing at all has gone wrong with it.
Are all mazda 2 from 2018 built in japan? Or is it's because the UK import them from Japan?
Im from the Netherlands and thinking of buying a 2018 model. The 2015-2016 has some issues
Nice video adrian.
Thanks!
Hello. Do you know how I could get the Android Auto into my Mazda 2 in Thailand?
what a great sharing bro! Im currently looking for mazda 2 2015 second hand , im thinking of new myvi 50k ,why not buy a more fun car (mazda 2) to drive? but i have 2 concern , 1 is the fuel consumption great? 2 is the car is 5years +old, the maintanance fee price range is from how much to how much? Any other things to beware of? Need professional experince and help from you bro . Thanks !
If space is not your concern, then the Mazda 2 is a great option! Few things to note:
1) I average between 6L to 7.5L per 100 km depending on my driving style/use
2) Maintenance and replacement parts are 15 - 30% more than equivalent Japanese cars. Per service is about RM 350 (I use fully synthetic)
3) Try to find one with full service record and for 2015 cars check for suspension leaks and steering rack knocking noise.
Hope this helps! 😃
Is it worth it to get this 2nd hand compared to new myvi with about the same price?
Which Mazda Service Centre you send your for servicing? 🚘
Thank you for sharing your own personal thoughts. How about the new Mazda 2 2020? any test drive ? any thoughts? Looks like the price got higher. Is it worth to buy ? pls advise :)
Have not test-driven it, but first impression is it's far quieter than the pre-facelift and we love how the facelift looks. Price is now above RM 100k, depends on how you define 'worth it' 😄
Buy Mazda 2 from 2019 or wait for new model in few years 😅 they will make maybe something between cx3 and Mazda 2 some crossover.
and the legendary “kruk-kruk” suspension noise and steering leather peeling off issue.
The first batch had that steering rack issue. As for the leather, Adrian's car is still well an intact 😃
How about the fuel?drain much fuel or better than myvi? And how about the service Mahal or not
Nice review and life story. Get a spoiler for more better looking at the rear
Am I the only one who doesn't like that rear spoiler haha! 😆
Not a fan of spoilers. Even Ferraris doest have them.
@@AdrianChiaa I guess you're the only one. What's your future car plans to buy
Hi, thanks for the review..nice car. What about the fuel consumption?
Thanks! Averaging between 7 - 7.4L/100km, quite poor because of the wider tyres 😃
I have the same car, blue color.. Love it!
Hi, can I know that you mentioned that all service/maintenance fees is after end of your
3 years free warranty/service?
Yes, prices mentioned are after the 3-Years Free Service schedule 😃
power la adrian!
Thanks bro!
Hi Adrian, what do you think about getting a second hand Peugeot 208 1.2 Puretech? Would appreciate your input.
Great handling car and beautiful interior but the engine is quite noisy. If you can bear the engine noise, it's quite a good car to drive 😄
Im planning to buy one. But 2nd hand. Mayb you can help in giving some advise or anything info that you think i should know. Appreciate & thank you in advance.
Which one is good mazda demio or Toyota passo for fuel economy
What is the ET on the replacment wheels you got?
Mazda 2 hatchback n sedan, do they different a lot in driving dynamic?
I found sedan look more eyes catching
Not much of a difference, so if you need the boot space, go with the sedan.
Hi there...i hope u do read this comment here..
I have a question, how do u improve cabin sound for the mazda2 skyactiv?
I have same production year like you and i think the cabin sound are as bad as my previous car (satria neo 1st gen)
Adrian didn't do anything to improve the insulation, just left it as it is 😅
How does the direct-injected engine performing after 5 years? Is it affordable to maintain?
So far so good, no problems with that.
Hey there! Do you think getting a used 2011 mazda 6 would be a good first car option as opposed to a brand new saga(both are in the same price range)?
Hey, to be honest i think if you have the budget around 40k, you shouldnt get the mazda. Yes it's quite reliable but the running cost is definitely way higher. Dont forget fuel consumption will be higher, wear and tear parts like tyres will need much higher cost compared to the saga. In finance terms, a 2nd car will bear high interest rates on the loan as well.
As @@Yddp3307 mentioned, there are alot of costs involved when considering a used Mazda6. If budget is a big concern, we'd still recommend to go with the Saga that's cheaper to maintain and comes with a 5-Years warranty 😃
how the fuel economy on this 1.5i Auto?? sorry if i missed it on the video.
Nice Mazda 2 you have there. Do keep aware of the ATF which is advisable to change it even though Bermaz SC said no need.
Yes, we too believe ATF should be changed regularly 😃
I am new owner for Mazda 2, did mazda sc allow/help to change ATF?
@@oscarchoong4985 yes, but you have to bear the cost, not included in the free service package 😃
At what kilometer did you change the atf bro? I've changed at 43k
fxalexander Have yet to change it, will do it for the next service 😄
nice detail.👍
Thanks 👍
Ahhhh... The Mazda 2 is my favourite B-Segment Sedan inside and out. Nearly own one but they cancelled out the mid variant (Without LED Premium Variant). Instead they offered 2 variant with super high price difference 71k to 93k if not mistaken...
My budget is just about 80k something...
Went for the Vento 1.2 Tsi Pre-Reg and I am still a happy owner of it.
Nice car there Adrian! Not the Wheels TBH🤣
The Vento 1.2TSI is a fantastic choice too 😃
Without LED premium variant you mean the front headlights?.. Actually its optional which is additional rm2.5k
Yo Adrian,
Would you choose Mazda 2 2015 ( 50k ) or Mazda 3 2015 ( 60k )? It's seem like mazda 3 are better deal as paying extra 10k can get C segment car with 2.0 engine. Of course i do know the spare parts and fuel consumption is slightly more pricey compare to mazda 2.
Skyactive G has variable compretion ratio. It regulates compretion based on fuel 95 lower ration, 98 higher
But the 5w40 shell ultra, is it really worth it? I mean liqui moly special tec aa cost less than that and the shell helix is not making any such improvement to the car...
Shell Helix is the official oil used by Bermaz Motor and so far so good 😃👍🏻
Great choice Adrian. But I wondered how it would compared to Fiesta, the hatch that has been praised for its highly capable dynamic in Europe. Sadly, facelifted Mazda 2 has increased in price, way too overpriced no matter how you look at it. RM100k for a small B segment hatch and still 2 airbags is simply unacceptable in 2020 :'(
Very unfortunate due to the tax structure in Malaysia and the fact that the Mazda2 has gone up in price in general
Hey Adrian, where do you get your car installed with android auto and what is the price?
DIY myself, I followed this guide ua-cam.com/video/ocOvY6Q7NNo/v-deo.html please do it at your own risk 😃
major service pretty on par with Perodua, serviced my Myvi, major service. cost is RM600+, however that major service changed alot of components such as spark plugs etc. but of course thats few years apart, not sure the Mazda service costs now
does this have the mazda mirror HUD speedometer?
Hi. Since mazda 2 2020 is released now, is this mazda 2 2015 still available to buy? Because the new mazda is quite pricey for me
You can source for a used unit 😃
Bro, ur Mazda2 is almost 90k. So, it shd compliment u accordingly. Its a driver's car.
In 2015, I got my 3 yr old GH Mazda6 2.5 wit 30k kms for 90k. Still enjoying it..
How much is the road tax and insurance per year? I heard some people said the price of it is bit killing.
Road tax is RM 90 a year, insurance for first year is RM 2,000+ without NCD 😃
I kinda dissapointed because the face-lifted Mazda 2 is over 100k but Bermaz didn't give us full safety and accessories. With that price, they should imported Mazda 2 full spec just like Thailad spec. So, consumer will re-consider and think twice. Seriously, it is not good for competition in Malaysian market, even I like Mazda 2 very much since 2015 :(
Do you have any idea about what is Bermaz actually thinking Adrian?
Unfortunate but thats the state of our tax structure 😕 with ADAS fitted, it'll drive the cost up even further, no one would spend 110k for a B-seg hatchback
Hi adrian. I have the same mazda 2 but sedan. When my mazda 2 passes a bump, i realised that compared to many cars i ride, mazda 2 shock absorbing is on the harder side. I couldnt feel the smooth bouncy that i experience in other car. Is this normal bcos i never tried other mazda 2 cars to able to compare them.
I have driven my friends Mazda 2 hatchback and it feels really stiff. So yeah you are right.
It's stiff for the handling, the mirage is softer but that's sluggish in terms of handling.
good review bro of Mazda 2! I'm considering of having 2017 Mazda 2 i/o a new Proton Persona Premium, which both car will cost me 55-57k worth. What do u think Adrian?
That sound's awesome! Few things to note - the maintenance cost for Mazda 2 is going to be much more expensive than a Persona (about 20 - 30% more). Spare parts are also pricier such as tyres, wear and tear parts.
Also the Mazda 2 is much smaller than the Persona in terms of rear legroom and boot space. But of course the Mazda 2 is much more fun to drive and has a more premium interior. 😃
Buy mazda 2 if you only carry 2 people and no bigger than L size la.. the space is super tight imo
@@jijisuka2708 Yes, the rear seats are super cramp and the boot space is small
WapCar what about sedan version?
Is the boot space sufficient?
I’m considering between new bezza adv and 2nd hand mazda 2 sedan
I know it’s not comparable but they’re in the same price range and have similar fuel consumption
And i think the rear space of mazda 2 is at least spacious and more confortable than the new bezza 2020
And I’m also concerned about the maintenance fee, even though the mazda 2 sedan second hand price is attractive but since bezza is using toyota NR engine, sounds like it has long lasting potential but not sure about mazda’s engine
@@vincwong8498 i have use mazda 2 for 5 years..no problem with the engine...i think u need to get sedan version...after you drive...u will smile all day long🤣😆😆
How does your car perform at low speeds? I drive my parent's 2014 CX5 around sometimes and find it extremely jerky, as if the car doesn't know which gear to be in during low speeds, very pening sometimes!
Hmm, no issues like that, could be the engine suffering from knocking
@@WapCar interesting. Thanks the the input, I'll try higher RON to test it out 😄
