Mazda2gal 5th Gear January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Once you depress the brakes not hard enough the engine will 'restart', no need to step on accelerator then engine 'restart'. If the iStop doesn't kick in, you didn't step on the brakes hard enough.I reckoned I didn't step on brakes hard enough at red lights that's why istop didn't kick in, but the FC is already impressive which surprised me even more. However during reversing to park, if Istop kicked in, sometimes even when I released the brake totally, the engine didn't restart, for that 1-2 sec the car totally stop. End up I had to tap on accelerator to restart engine. Must ask the mechanics to check this then. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lok666 5th Gear January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Too bad. Local version has no rear disc brakes. Saw it at the Motorshow. Build wise is not much of a difference from MIJ Mazda 2. Centre console feels flimsy. Looks is good. I like hatcbacks, but this Mazda 2 sedan version actually looks better to me. Backseats also seem more spacious than the hatchback one, no?

Heartbreakid 6th Gear January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 (edited) I like hatcbacks, but this Mazda 2 sedan version actually looks better to me. Backseats also seem more spacious than the hatchback one, no? Actually both style look appealing to me, just that I always like sedan style more. The new M2 sedan looks much proportional than previous bulky-body-on-small-wheels look. Space wise I find both are the same, and though not class leading but not too cramp for someone around 1.7m tall. With reference to the specification sheet I have uploaded, the sedan interior is little more spacious except for the rear headroom. Kind of strange to me especially for the slightly more legroom in space in the sedan because both body style shares the same wheelbase. Maybe that is why you felt the sedan has got more room at the back. Edited January 17, 2016 by Heartbreakid 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 This is a Mazda 2 thread. Your elantra thread post elsewhere He's trying to compare Mz2 sedan vs Elantra which I agree may pull over potential Elantra buyers if price is not too far off esp since it's a Mazda after all, only drawback being MIT but it looked good when I saw it yesterday. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Personally I won't bite this Mz2 sedan at this price cos only $6k off a MIJ Mz3. Also, at this price range, some choices like the K3, Lancer and outgoing Elantra can also be considered. A pity though cos I quite like the car but the potential buyers of this price range are price sensitive so with the choices available, I doubt if it will be a volume seller, we shall see. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
