I have had this Racing Beat exhaust on my car over 7 years now. Love how the tip is angled to match the bumper. The sound and tone are perfect. Not sure how much longer I'll have the 2 but can't image my car without it. ENjoy

Yes. I bought a new 2011 Mazda2 5-speed and drive it daily. Prior cars- Integra LS, 2000 Audi S4, 2007 Impreza WRX wagon and the 2 is my favorite car by far. It's now with Bilstein B6 struts / shocks with Fiesta springs and feels on another level. What do you drive?

It should read "FRONT/UP" with front bring toward the headlights. I have a WIX filter in now so going by memory. One corner is shaped differently and is not symmetrical. Check the filter box for its shape, good luck

I have a 2011 Mazda2 and my wife has a 2016 Scion iA. There is almost nothing on this board related to supporting the iA. You can check out scioniaforum.com but am surprised at the lack of technical skill on that site. People on this board are mechanically skilled while the iA forum discuss...

I ended up getting the iA for the wife (automatic) after test driving. Overall a significantly better car than the 2 in terms of everything except driving dynamics. The one thing that was very unexpected was the stereo sound quality. BLows my stereo away even though I have aftermarket Polk db...

For this purchase, handling is a low priority. I need something extremely reliable and smaller than the 3. The Fit already has 3 recalls. The iM is really boring but is loaded, just small enough and made in Japan. I'm planning to keep this car for 8-10 years and want the least headaches as...

I find the Mini very frustrating to work on. I'm no engineer or mechanic but the design of these cars are terrible. The CX-3 is off my list as I can not justify a car jumping 10 grand from base to GT trim and can't convince myself to get a sedan. I regret not getting rid of the Mini earlier...

Gave up on this method and tried gravity bleeding. Starts slow at the rear passenger but goes faster when getting closer to the fluid. Very reliable method.

I have to replace my wife's 2006 Mini Cooper in approximately 3-4 months. The iA was low on my list but after researching cars like the Fit, Prius C and Fiesta, they all have their issues. It would be a perfect car in hatchback form but the body style shouldn't dictate my purchase though i...

Hey everybody, To add more confusion about the 2 coming to the US, I found this article about the 2015 World Car of the Year finalists. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/02/16/2015-world-car-of-the-year-finalists-official/ In the article in states the 10 finalists and the last part somewhat defines...

Second that about Miata NB 15in. Got them for 170 and have them as my winter wheel with michelin xi2s. Like them better than my 2011 oem.

Thanks for all the imput guys. I may just tough it out and use mass transit. I would be using this second 2 to commute from NJ to NYC and its really terrible here. Not from the area so I'll plan to move out ASAP. Maybe I'll get the new 2 IF it ever arrives here in the states. Though a Japanese...
