Mazda 2 is the true definition of "don't judge a book by its cover"
That's nice, reviewing one car after testing its competitor!
Great review! In my humble opinion I would go with a Mazda 2 manual or automatic over any shitty Jetco CVT Nissan cars are fitted with. 3 cylinder turbo engine and a CVT? What is the point? Unless it is Toyota GR Yaris. Almera might have more room and probably more practical but looks of Mazda2 are better in my opinion. Mazdas are easy to maintain and more reliable. Naturally aspirated engines are more reliable in the long run. This is why you pay a bit more. Nissan became cheap brand with low quality. Ppl are complaining about constant CVT issues and when that thing breaks price to replace it is very high. Having said that, it is more affordable for big masses of people and probably more fuel efficient. For those who do not care how a car looks and simply want cheap and good value for money then go with a Hyundai or Kia.
Bruh dont act like you know everything but end up look like a dumb person, nowadays v old days different
Put it simple. Turn on the sport mode. Go uphill genting is doenst feel underpower despite 1.5 engine. Handling is really brilliant. Yes i do agree this is not suitable for family usage. This is more like a driver's car who want to have fun everyday.
the cabin looks small tho...i dont it's very comfortable for an uphill run to have some fun driving
@@FazShara i am 183cm tall and weight 98kg. Im pretty ok. Just dont expect someone can sit behind me. Since it is so fun to drive. I dont really complain much about space.
There is manual in auto, which mostly never use it.
3:26 “Can I see what’s the 100k ah?”
“Where’s your backseats?”
Savage.
100k can get a 2nd hand pre-facelift high spec skyactiv mazda 3 or a facelifted gvc version, not many reason to go for mazda 2 at this price range
the only reason one would go for this is they want a new b-segment sedan but not the typical vios/city/almera...
that was why back then when it was launch i thought of getting the mazda 2 then i was diverted to ford fiesta ecoboost which was around the same price with bigger space and boot space and drives better i have no regrets now going for the ford. Which has everything equiped back then although has no touch screen, but has a reverse sensor and packed with good safety features. At that time was think of getting a b segment hatcback or sedan, then i was soo hooked with fiesta ecoboost hatchback due to its performance, i went for that instead of the titanium. I was diverted because of the backseat space of a sedan is really small. the fiesta has at least a decent back seat space and quite big bootspace in the segment. back then 88k for a small space i ended taking the fiesta around 85k-87 after some promo discounts. The fiesta i got was the highest spec variant which was worth it. wasnt interested in the basic city,myvi,vios,jazz at that time.
U broke thats why go for second hand car
Its was still quite relevant when it 1st launched. But with competitors churning out more updated and better rounded options thru the years, the 2 is just simply outshined today.
yupe when it first launched, all B segments handle like shit .... except the Polo sedan. But the Polo sedan has a dinosaur 1.6 MPI engine. And the Mazda's interior is leagues above the rest. Fast forward, Mazda's interior is still great, but practicality wise it falls short, and yaris and vios already out handles it ... so it lost its proposition. If it's available locally, the small car i would go for would be the new Suzuki Swift.
I’m 39. I have no girlfriend, no wife, no kids. I only have myself and I don’t need a big car to accomodate for anybody else but me. This car is perfect for me. I’ve bought it mainly for the nice feeling and looks of the interior, great features and extremely nice exterior design. I can’t see why this car couldn’t be worth the money for a lot of people. People have different needs.
Other cars maybe have more space but they aren’t as good looking and doesn’t come with as nice of an interior as Mazda 2. So then you could ask if those cars are worth the money when they don’t have what the Mazda 2 has.
LOL not everyone is as lonely & bitter as you bro.
u said it.. bad review.. diff people diff needs.. hearing what he said doesnt justify the good thing about mazda 2 and what it is for.. ofcourse its not a family car, its for people who wants all the security features fun driving experience from home to work place, easy to park fuel efficiency and unlimited km 5 yrs warranty thats what u r paying for the extra😅
Passing the 100K mark, when you drive you feel premium, Placebo effect kick in 😂
Bobby how is this compared to the Peugeot 208 puretech? Especially in terms of handling, power and space?
Why buy a big car when you never use the space anyway?
Is it worth justifying the 105k price for this small B segmenter though?
Well here's the shocker, smaller doesn't mean cheaper. This Mazda 2 is smaller than most if not all of its rivals and it's priced higher than most if not all of them. You wanna pay more for less space OR pay less for more space?
@@Kyle-kc8cw you lost his point here. If one does not use the extra space then the space isn't the factor to consider when buying a car. Say if you have no family or even gf and all you need is the driver seat and you won't carry items all the time then Mazda 2's space is probably more than enough.
But still, even though this Mazda 2 has one of the best built quality in its segment, drive well and blah blah blah but still can't justify the price tag.
@@Kyle-kc8cw if you want space, MPV is the way to go
@@jasonw98 that's too extreme haha. Space + OK to drive, City or Almera probably? Or even Vios? But...If you want small and nice, seems like we have no choice.
How about getting this 2nd hand? Also, are the maintenance fee expensive now?
I usually speak highly about Mazdas vs other Japanese brands, but I do agree that the Mazda 2 here is simply overpriced for what you're getting. Although a cool car, it's hard to justify the price hike over the pre-facelift. Why not a 2nd hand Mazda 3 hatch instead?
Agree. 2nd hand mazda 3 is much more worth to buy then new mazda 2. Drive probably same if not better, same mazda quality and much bigger.
I think Mazda are desperate to show that they're premium brand now like Mercs or BMW but you're right for a b segment hatch this car is just overpriced
@@amerasyraf9241 They're kinda becoming the next Lexus at this point or whatever. Probably doesn't have the same "prestige" as the BMWs or Mercs, but more upmarket than Honda or Toyota in a sense.
@@germaineliew2012 funny thing is they benchmark their Mazda3 with A200 Mercs etc but you're right tho Lexus seems more accurate comparison
I guess Mazda is not focusing on the Mazda 2 development at the moment, the latest RM100k is a refresh/facelift (2nd facelift?), not a new model like the Vios, City and Almera. Mazda is focusing on their bread and butter: SUVs like CX-30, CX-5, CX-9. Even the new sedan/hb Mazda 3 is not moving well due to its high price point.
can heard tin milo sound when water drop on the roof huhu
Most car in this segment macma to bro, kena spend duit sikit buat insulation 🤣
@@shhhdontshout really ah? Bobby say Almera better wor
@@TheMasterofComment new almera? No experience la bro
No swearing for reviews in the future, pros and cons are mentioned throughout the entirety of the review making the understanding of the actual review very difficult to comprehend.
Agree with every single thing u said. M2 owner here, bough it used, n loves it. But facelift with rm100k pricetag is a joke.
Engine n gbox is perfect combination. Nvh, dont talk about it, maybe worst in segment. handles great for its segment.
genting run in the new accord ??
Bobby, u can switch off istop function but the gear must at P, cant at D
Ah thanks!
(Alternatively get a manual!)
@@roderickmathison5245 im guessing you have never driven one, istop is also on the manual models and is still a pain in the ass. The only way around it is to have a/c set as low or high as it goes or remember to click the button every time you start the car
When it came out I already tot way too expensive & ridiculous
give u a thumbs up...but wonder if you will get another demo car from Bermaz again after this...
mazda isn't like honda
bobby is being honest and there is nth wrong with it
Can you describe how the handling of Yaris/Vios is better than the Mazda 2?
Slightly better chassis only. But better still. It's more fun to throw around. But of course there are other things that is important to driving that they lose out to mazda, driving position, throttle response and of course skyactiv transmission is better than cvt transmission .... but strictly speaking of chassis tuning, vios and yaris is more playful. Lets say if the mazda two is turning a big sweeping corner and hits a bump, it may bop a bit, the yaris and vios once they sit the outer wheels in a corner its weight transfer would sit nicely
I wonder if they have resolved the drive shafts problem....
Mazda 2019 before this facelift 2020 is cheaper and better. so buy prefacelift. Or wait for Mazda 2 2022 it will be the best in it's category again! But yeah reliability is always the best with Mazda and Toyota. And fuel consumption too.
Mazda is like the Japanese version of Alfa Romeo.. Might not outsell the likes of Fiat but do sure looks better.
Malaysian pricing for car sucks, the mazda should be price lower then it can compete better because the interior is quite premium if it was priced properly
But it feels fun to drive and is easier to have fun compared to an European car of the same std.... U don't need to be at 160kph to have fun... 😅
Not to mention at the rear doorbin pun takda!! If you pick up a friend at the rear and they have a bottle it has to roll around (of course no centre arm rest also)
Obviously, the only problem here is the space. Well if you are obese then you will have problems with space. Space aside… this is the best B segment I’ve ever driven. Almera? Im not gonna be staying idle in a car!
This is expensive because it’s a “driver’s” car! If price matters over quality? Then you will always find mazda expensive.
Almera is cvt if In not mistaken. I dont know what choppy transmission is being mentioned here. That’s the AT for you. Of course cvt seems smooth but the at in mazda’s are way better.
The center tunnel/console is too wide where the driver’s knees are and that makes the car feel smaller.
I think I see Adrian from WapCar @ 3:16 and he actually owns a Mazda 2.. But not sure if it's him.. If it's him.. WHOOPS! 😂
i think its him too.. he owns an older Mazda 2 so its ok.. recently he just preview the FL Mazda2 and praised it.. haha..
@@user-py6dq7oc6x Hahaha! I know it's the older version.. But I also watched the latest review of his as well.. Which like you said, he praised it.. But with Bobby saying it like this in front of him is like.. Ermmm.. Whoops! 🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
Are Mazda's reliable? Not many owners means not many complaints
Mechanically reliable if compared to Hondas and Nissans in the past 10 years record
@@BobbyAngmalaysia how about the quality , fit & finish , any rattling sound issues?
@@palaniappanplvsuppaiah1359 i have a 2018 mazda 3 sp25, no fitment issues or rattles. A little road noise but thats the only issue. Manual gearbox is extremely good too. Have done 60,000kms with no repair needed, only basic servicing as per schedule
The B segment in Malaysia is blessed a diverse range of offerings. For something around 100k or less, you can only pick any of following two. A) Reliability B) Spacious C) Design D) Gadgets E) Comfort F) Reasonably priced
Toyota Vios = A+E
Honda City (old) = B+D
Mazda 2 = C+D
Nissan Almera (old) = E+F
Honda is A B C D E F
This is a car for rich Dato' wife / daughterto run around for groceries shopping. Haha
Erm you might have underestimated Dato's a bit ... their dvd player would've cost more than this car 😅
@@BobbyAngmalaysia that's why it makes sense for them to buy this for cincai roundabout , rather than mini or myvi
They’ll buy the wife / daughter the a class lah hahhaha. Cannot lah this car, later friends, neighbors, families will look down on you
@@BobbyAngmalaysia My dad's a Dato' as well. Takde pun nak beli dvd player mahal2 😂 Not all Dato's wants to expose their wealth.. Yes my dad bought an MZ2 for one of his child and dia takde problem pun with spending 100k+ for an MZ2 :) ✌🏼
@@afiqarman990 Why nak takut if people look down on us? As long as we know how much cash we have hidden, could be more than what those people have really 🤣. Man, I love reading comments bashing at (wealthy) people buying Mazdas. We buy, u panas. Sure, not everybody who owns a mazda is rich, that applies to pretty much everything. Like having an iphone or driving an aston martin, doesn't mean ur rich.
Which one is smaller.. this one or kancil 😆
I mean, it's a B segment car
People who complain how the Mazda2 isn't suitable for families or having passengers in the back
🤷🏻
It's a B segment car
is it ok if i buy used Mazda 2 1.5L Skyactiv-G 2015? for the soundproofing i can install later..just need some advice for this car..tq
Have you buy the car? Is it okay? And review?
I bough it used, almost 5yr now. Still reliable, performs great. Most earlier model got issues with nvh noise, strut mount bearing, lower arm noise somethngg like dat. Engine + gbox performs great, reliable, great fuel efficient.
Beware, back seat is wayyy to small.
Savage
Eh mana ada?
The title. Haha
What a crap review! ! How can you test a car in a built -up area? He needs to take it out to some country lanes where the 2 really shines. The 2 will still be going trouble - free when the Almera is costing a small fortune in repairs.
Totally agree with your review on this car.
It can do one thing what a Myvi can't, not being called a trash driver and an idiot. Up to you to decide if that's worth another 50k.
Comfusing video title. Just be straightforward. Call a spade, a spade.
104k and soundproofing is the most terrible. That rain noise is really disturbing. Vios and Almera soundproofing is very good
Best review!!! All your point is so honest and true!!! Interior materials is feels nice but others like exterior design, spec of this car and it's cost...omg gg don't even consider it 🤣
Engine sound. Dont get wrong. It is mazda that want it to be "noticeable", not because they cannot insulate it.
nice uturn
Tonggek like the bezza at the rear
very honest.
How does it compare to the JAZZ then bobby ??? 😄
Current Jazz is fucking ugly. But so damn brilliant interior and space utilisation. Second gen Jazz is pretty
Bobby Ang what do you meant current? The new design? When will enter msian market?
Bobby, just saw you this late morning at NPE in your Rapide
its a not bad car in term of drive n design, but the price reli..sad..
I feel sorry to comment that after sitting at the rear passger seat of a Mazda 3, the lack of headroom and compress feel make me felt uneasy. I'm just 168 tall. Won't give a vote to Mazda cars. Maybe is design or the driver instead for the passengers.
They are designed for drivers.
premium shit is right. I want one
To me, it's worth to pay an additional RM9k over what I paid for my '15 MZ2 high spec (RM95k) for all of the new lights front & rear, new bumpers, new slim-design side mirror mounted indicators, improved driving dynamics (GVC+), new steering design, alcantara, some extra interior parts, new dual-tone interior, apple carplay/Android auto, nicer coloured carpets (that counts lah since mine are only black coloured 😅) ... what else did I miss? 🤔
Say these new things I mentioned above are sold as after market parts. If I were to buy them all for my '15 MZ2, I'm confident to say that it would set me back more than RM9K in total.
** This is just a comparison between My '15 MZ2 with the '20 facelifted MZ2 **
Go small, take this Mazda2
Go big, take the New Almera! Hehe
Maybe Mazda will be next Lexus in future, so get it now before the price is going 200k for their entry levers car 🤣🤣🤣
most of the Malaysians taste are honda and toyota...no matter what...
Even me as someone who like Mazda, it's very hard to justify a small B segmenter with this price. If under 100k, can accept lah.
Mazda2 with outdated package sell 100k. What do u think?
It's obvious they put all of their eggs in the new 3 and cx30 basket. I'm sure once they've figured out the new cx5 and 6 models, the 2 will follow suit.
overpriced small sedan....there are dozens of other much better choices out there...next....
Love hate the car?
For College girl ???? Unless her father is Vincent Tan.......Jeffery Cheah etc.....
Vincent Tan daughter don't bother look at this.. trust me.. his daddy garage dont have this model..
100k angkat mazda3 second ar
It was started 88k, but now its 100k.
All MAZDA is over price in Thailand too! And service is very expensive!
I wonder how the owner / dealer feel after saw your review ? 🤣🤣🤣
At over rm100k. This car does't make any sense, but that is why it is so....special. This car is just like alfa romeo, i would love to own but i wont recommend to anyone
'Demise' doesn't sound right
My Girlfriend got a Mazda 2 for a good price... in comparison other cara were much more expensive
From what I can see It's good but not good enough.
Mazda, lu punya kereta manyak mahal la, lu simpan sampai karat la dlm lu punya kilang dan showroom la.
100k with 2 airbags.. Not worth it at all. This car for Anak Dato laa
Anak Dato pakai MINI, A Class, 1 Series laaa ... 😅
Bobby Ang Minat sangat dengan mazda but the price buatkan fikir 7-8 kali 😂 last2 ambil CX3 je
"oh not your car ah".. who doesnt know Bobby only owns above 3000cc and now 5200cc
Tell that to Bermaz Auto , since Mahathir left , Vincent need to jack up the shit .
3:48 come on that guy thinks Bobby drives a Mazda 2? Pffft.
I'm fine with the price if it's specced with EV with rotary range extender...the closest thing to owning a brand new rotary! 😬🤣
Mazda 2 already failed in the competition , only handling can be praise. But so small car have good handling that is normal .Engine power soso, ride comfort soso , space comfort fail, outlook design soso . Price high. Competitor like Honda City great look , More tech ，more powerful, more space and Nissan Almera have quite good interior as Mazda 2 , Space , savety features.
The Toyota Yaris is probably the best all rounder in my opinion if you want a B segment hatchback. Not as nice looking as the Mazda, not the best engine in class, but more practical and actually drives quite nice for what it is and very comfortable too. I've driven one, it's a nice place to be in.
7:44 Hmm yes, RM100K tin milo roof sound proofing. At least I can distract myself with the sweet blue leather stitching on the dashboard, lol. Mazda can't even afford to put some decent sound proofing for that much money, pathetic.
No matter what driver's car it is, if the carmaker doesn't provide good tyres, its pointless and defeats the purpose, and my, the soundproofing in this little car is horrendous compared to the Almera, and it cost almost as much as a C segment car. Most probably will become an irrelevant model in the mass market. I like that you have been honest with the shortcomings of this hyped up car.
And who else cares about tyres? You can change it anyway. Better go for the best chassis
@@jasonw98 this is the type of mentality that encourages carmakers to provide low quality tyres to their customers. Imagine if you are the type that will test drive a new car extensively before placing a deposit on it, these cheap tyres could be the deal breaker with inferior grip, noise and comfort levels provided during the test drive. Remember, first impressions are important. But lately, i noticed more and more carmakers are paying attention to tyres, just look at the new facelifted Civics, the new Almeras and those on VWs. At the end of the day, most people won't want to spend on a new set of tyres and would rather use it till the next cycle to change new ones. Just my 2 cents!
Of course if you are the new buyer you would be having whatever the shat that has been given by the manufacturer. And most of the time people in the market of this class are mostly unable to actually afford a new car anyway hence beggars can't be choosers. If you want everything up to standard, go for c segment cars. Those things are more meticulously designed and not all cheaped out
@@jasonw98 Looking at the new offerings in the B segment, things are looking up. Check out the new Almera, thats a reasonably well engineered car with lots to offer, mainly for offering the AEB safety feature across the range, good soundproofing and Conti tyres as standard, something even some C segment cars don't come equipped with.
@@nickloong That is 2021 model. How about a 2021 Hyundai Elantra? Specs like a Camry if you want.
I see ppl bashing mazda i press like...
0:49 Nissan Note ehh
Never seen a review that shited on a Mazda two as much as this one
It's on the context that in Malaysia it is more expensive than a Toyota Yaris or a Honda zcity hatchback by close to around $5000 USD. And I am a Mazda lover and fan if you watch my other videos. Moreover this car is 10 years in the market already
No wonder tak ramai yang beli mazda ni, dalaman lebih kecil dari almera dan myvi bang Bobby ?
Jauh lebih kecil dari Myvi.
Way tooo small. Last month i rented axia from Socar for 1 week, and the following 1 week I rented Mazda 2. Well mazda2 drives good, but in term of space and practicality, my 2 kids were more comfortable in axia. I had hard time to put two carseats at the back. Fuel economy wise, the consumption is pretty good. I got somewhere around 16km/l and mind that i have quite a heavy foot..
This only good for the driver bro. Anak masih pakai CRS ok la
Yes it's now overpriced but the old pricing of RM85k was justifiable compared with the competition if you're looking for a car with great handling. It drove better than the Vios, the City and was even more precise and accurate than the Mini Cooper. Acceleration was superior to these cars too apart from the Mini. It had an NA engine which had great response and it had a 6-speed automatic transmission while the competitors were stuck with CVT. The car is light on its feet, had great steering feedback, changes directions without a fuss and can easily handle more horsepower than it's given. If only it was available with a manual transmission. You buy this car for the driving experience, not the space, comfort or practicality. Would I buy it now at RM100k? Nope. RM90k or thereabouts would still be ok but RM100k is a hard sell. Pick up a used one at around RM55k and you've got yourself a great deal. Much better value than a Myvi
Agree but that was almost 8 years ago
Bought it at 72k in 2018, Gvc model, base spec. For me it's better than the base spec city/jazz/vios at that time.
But now yes. It's overpriced.
Yeah my review is on the context of a new car. Back then, this car is superior. I remember i even asked the Mazda engineers from Japan why you put in such a premium interior? We all know Mazdas dont sell that many, how to amortised the costs? And he answered brilliantly, saying "we found a way to reduce production costs, and we transferred the savings to consumers by giving a higher quality interior instead of pocketing the profits." - this is why Mazda is my favourite japanese brand
Warning!!! Incoming Mad Mazda Fans raging is on the way
But i am a mazda fan. And i find Mazda fans more confident about themselves, unlike Honda fans, very sensitive 😅🤣
Bobby Ang that why u are raging as well bobby 🤣🤣
Mazda fan here.
Totally agree with Bobby's points.
This M2 is on par in practicality with the Kia Picanto, but priced more than double. Madness.
Biggest beef with it is the price.
But Bermaz don't care right now, they are squarely focused on CUV/SUV market right now, and that is the right business decision with current market demand.
Bobby Ang is not very , its super bobby get it right 🤣🤣
@@BobbyAngmalaysia is truth, I also found lots Honda fans is bashing new almera although nvr test car.
mazda...better wait for the 2nd hand price 😅 hoping that it will drop to the lowest
Mazda 2nd price is quite high nowadays.
The ugliest car in the segment
The city and the vios should be the ugliest in the segment for now
its not CVT. skyactive engine is pristine n proven fuel efficient. anything but CVT
poor man sport sedan.
