Trying to decide between two cars. Dealer offer both for a same price (around $18500) + 0.0% financing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Called Mazda and they said to take it in, as they said it sounded like it was bad. Dealership isn't noticing any problems, so saying nothing to fix.... am I crazy or is someone else experiencing this??
I'm hearing the bluetooth in the cars with Nav is a different type/model. I actually think this is the issue, as when I test drove one with nav, I had a great bluetooth experience... and now, not so much
I'm going back on Saturday and having someone stay with them while I call their cell from the car.
Guess I should have splurged for the one with nav package, after all! Who knew?
It seems from the MPG threads that although the sticker says the s only gets 2MPG less that many with the AT get poor mileage.
Is the s model's ride substantially different and for highway merging and passing is it significantly better than the i?
"The all-new 2011 Mazda2 will arrive in Canadian showrooms in early summer with a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of C$13,995".
p.s. I wish someone at Edmunds would create a separate folder for the Mazda2
But for now, you probably want to get in on the Mazda2 discussion over on the future vehicles board.

But the BT issue --sometimes I have a phone ringing and the the radio pops back on then I get a connection and the person I called is saying "hello" " hello" --so theres sometimes a glitch but it works ultimately !! If you have a weak provider and a baseline phone then you get issues that relate directly to conectivity and thats NOT the cars fault . I know because I use VZ and my wife has ATT with a terrible LG and she always has disconnects and I have had 1 in 3 months . So it has at least 50% to do with carrier/equipment and location where your service is - I sell Mazdas and I was with Porsche /Audi and Mercedes-Benz and the same problems existed ---its still a relatively new technology with a lot of ansulary factors that need to be worked out on all systems . For now - we have at the least a working system thats safe- K
BT is 16 year old technology and is pretty cut and dry in terms of how it works. Yeah, it's not ancient like GPS but it's still late 20th century technology.
First, Verizon is having problems with their Bluetooth phones. This is not just a problem relegated to Mazda. If you have a Verizon phone, especially a Blackberry, there are connection problems.
To be clear, this is a problem between Verizon and Bluetooth. It has nothing to do with Mazda.
On a side note i've got 10,000 miles on my vehicle, one door ding (at least its on the fender crease which seems to hide it better) and only one unusual quirk that I can't manage to replicate.
The unusual quirk occurred one rainy day when I happened to be driving quite briskly home and took a short cut road that involves two back to back very sharp turns. (right, then left)
Suffice to say the traction control was activated but it was during the last turn when I mashed the gas pedal a bit too much and had the traction control flash at me for minor (minor being less than 1 full second) wheelspin that it stayed completely lit along with the steering malfunction indicator light. When I got to the next stop light, i turned off the car and then quickly re-started and all lights went back to normal. It has never done this since then even though my driving habits are no better (or worse) now.
Have a great Memorial day weekend!
saak
. Heres the catch ---right about late January the Faux - Pontoon intake grilles located on either side of the front main grill did actually serve a purpose ! Well we all know that the rectangular fog lights are located in the lower portion of both sides HOWEVER ......on the DRIVERS SIDE the black pontoon grill WAS FUNCTIONAL ... If you were an early buyer or a late buyer that got older stock ( ME) right behind that drivers pontoon grill was a dedicated 6" x 4" TRANSMISSION COOLER !!!! Yes thats right a dedicated transmission cooler --now they have dropped it on ALL hatchbacks and sedan GT-S models for good and its a blocked out solid piece of black plastic just like the passengar side is !
I got one and they did it again to save $$$. Sorry to those who didnt get one Im sure you are fine but I personally like knowing that my Trans. is staying at a regulated temp for long life . The fact that they eliminated that says quite a bit and I attribute it to cheap skate buyers that keep trying to fleece the dealers below invoice --so to all you cheap skates thanks for turning Mazda backwards towards a cheaper car by not paying a simple profit to the dealer --
It's good that you're planning ahead! The simple truth is if you drive in the snow, buy snow tires. You may be able to get away with all seasons for the first year, but one slide in the snow, could result in thousands of dollars damage, so why risk it? Michelin, Bridgestone, Yokohama, Toyo, etc. make great snow tires.
p.s. My snow tires have lasted eight winters!
My 2007 MS3 runs Pirelli PZero Nero All Seasons from November to March and I have no problem driving in winter weather.

Experts warn that tires more than six years old can fail catastrophically

as you say "why risk it"? Better buy some new tires.
Impressive for a Mazdaspeed.....I guess tires make all the difference. WIth the OEM, winter driving is a major challenge.
Already done! Thanks for the article.
Can someone explain step by step (explain like I'm in kindergarten) how to re program the new phone into the car? Thanks so much.....

Sorry; lost my mind, just for a second. :P
Can we please have a Mazda2 thread? There has been a few for the Fiesta for a while, and the Mazda2's are due here in less then a month.
Agreed!
Seconded (or thirded)
The "Body Style" forum categories could use a bit of an overhaul. The current categories are Convertible, Coupe, Hatchback, SUV, Sedan, Truck, Van and Wagon. I'd like to see groupings by size rather than body style - Subcompact (Mazda2), Compact (Mazda3), Mid-size (Mazda6), etc. Just a thought....
True, "hatchback" is the appropriate category based on what I have read about the Mazda2.
But Mazda needs to update the transmissions (to at least a 6-speed manual and 5-speed automatic) and find another 15-20hp along the way, too! And why are they showing the car in 'Spirtied Green Metallic' in all the media photos (Kermit would love it)???
Here are the changes for the 2011 Mazda3. Enjoy!
