Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have experienced these issues or know the fix. When I start the car, the radio turns on at max volume for a split second only. This only happens when the radio is off when I start the car. It does not matter how low the volume is when I turn the car off...

As some of you know, I'm going to modify my car for the SCCA STF autocross class. Coilovers are expensive. I looked at Bilstein PSS for $950. They are height adjustable. I noticed that Corksport sells a set of adjustable struts and shocks (ride stiffness adjustable for daily vs track) and...

Now that they have been out for a while, I want to get an idea of long term high mileage reliability in our Mazda2's. Please only answer if you have over 100,000 miles. I have low mileage Mazda2 at 40,000 miles and have owned a high mileage 96 Mazda Protege from 2005-2012. I had an overall good...

I got an email from Mazda today for a sale. What is the crossover on the right? It looks like it may be a European market Ford Ranger copy. Maybe a Mazda B series pick up from overseas? It doesn't make sense to have it in their U.S. ad.

The new CX-9 was just unveiled with a 2.5L Turbo engine making 250HP with premium gas, 227HP with regular gas. So I am assuming that is what we will see in the next Mazdaspeed 3 in 1-2 years (If Mazda will make it.)

I have been on this forum since 2008 with my old 96 Protege. I bought a Mazda 2 Sport 5SPD MT back in February 2015 with the intention of driving it to school for a year and auto-crossing it in the HS class during that time. Some of you may know me as I have been somewhat active in the Mazda 2...

Winter is coming up and my steel rims are already rusty so I decided to be proactive and paint the steelies to protect them from the elements. I was going to use flat black Plasti-Dip, but then I noticed that HomeDepot is now selling Rustoleum Flexi-Dip in various colors including flat black...

Has anyone here done brake upgrade with their Mazda 2 by using brake's from other cars? If yes, how did this affect ABS? I'm looking into getting larger 16" or 17" rims that should fit the Mazda MX-5 Club Brembo brake kit or a Fiesta ST brake kit. I believe those cars have the same 4 x 100 bolt...

Besides the electronic button on the trunk, is there another way to open the trunk of a 2011-2014 Mazda 2? I think my button is faulty. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Also, is it normal that you need to press and hold the remote unlock button for nearly a full second to unlock the...

When I let go of the clutch pedal, it makes a short squeal or squeaky sound. I tried spraying WD40, but all that did is make the car smell toxic for a few hours. Anyone has a similar issue? Any ideas? Next I will try to tighten bolts on the clutch pedal assembly.

I will post pictures later. There is no evidence of a crash and the carfax is clean. The inner wheel well looks fine and all of the screws are there, but the bumper does not line up with the front fenders or the headlights. Nothing looks bent or broken. There is a small gap about 1/4" from...

I bought this Mazda 2 with the intention of tracking it at autocross events. It is not a daily driver so I can do whatever I want with it. I use a Honda Fit as a daily. I sold my Porsche Boxster last year. Before I sold it, I tracked it at NJMP raceway and autocrossed it once at an SCCA...

A few Chinese ebay users are selling these for around $7 with shipping. They say it fits the Mazda 2. Has anyone bought and installed this stubby antenna?

Long Term Comparison: 2012 Mazda2 vs 2013 Toyota Yaris vs 2013 Honda Fit I plan to do a long term review/test with the: 2013 Honda Fit Sport 2012 Toyota Yaris LE 2012 Mazda 2 Sport I may even start a youtube series comparing the three cars over a couple of years. These competing sub-compact...

Is this normal? The driver side window goes down normally in "AUTO" down mode. That is when I push the window button once so that it goes all the way down automatically. But when I try to put it down only halfway by manually holding my finger on the button, not using the AUTO function of the...

At $9000 with 32,000 miles, is this a good deal for a 2012 Mazda 2 Sport? No fog lights, no spoiler, no cruise control. It is as basic as you can get these days. I am going to test drive it tonight. They don't want to budge with the price. www.cargurus.com says it is a good deal but I want to...

I'm having trouble finding these. I guess most of them have been sent to the junk yard.

I test drove the 2015 Honda Fit EX this past weekend and it worried me a bit. It was too much. Too expensive, too many features. It was not what I expected from a sub-compact car. I intend to buy the upcoming Mazda 2 based on the looks of the Hazumi concept. But I am also hoping for a price of...

http://www.edmunds.com/auto-shows/geneva/2014/2014-geneva-auto-show-mazda-hazumi-concept-faq.html This concept has a 1.5L Diesel engine. U.S. production version will probably have a new 1.5L Skyactiv gasoline engine.

Using Mazda's financing calculator. Base price of Sport model with $5000 down, 60 months, 1.9% APR was $184 per month, which is very affordable. I know there is an 8% tax cost I have to add. But what other costs are involved with buying a new car at a typical Mazda dealership. What are the...
