But they are taking a huge gamble, if this Skyactiv is not proven to be reliable like the old Honda City '04-'08 , Mazda reputation could go down as well. Firstly, it looks great and feels like it is worth more than it actually is. I will keep this thread updated by then. Honda City and latest Accord tells me the handling of both cars, especially in the steering feel, is quite different. Due to the varying traveling speed of other vehicles on the roads, the cruise control will automatically deactivate when you step on the brakes.
I wanted to purchase a classy car which would definitely take an eye of the people. I just remembered, I just changed the absorbers on my '04 City, as and it is as firm as the Mazda 2. Seat material is full fabric based on E spec , the fabric feels rough and like those type that will come out little lint if a lot of rubbing is done with abrasive pants not sure will it have lint or not on the long run though , my old Citys seat fabric are much smoother than the new City, old City has soft carpet-like feel Opinion: If you want a comfortable ride highway cruiser, City is for you. The brake system employs ventilated discs in the front and drum brakes in the rear. I am 175cm and can still comfortably sitting at the rear with 1cm of legroom from the front seat, maybe for those 190cm will suffer? Haven't tried the Skyactiv too. The rear passengers will feel cramp a bit, unless the rear passenger sit in unusual to Malaysian upright sitting posture for more moving space. Looks wise, it is very subjective as some prefer the Sedan over the Hatchback and vice versa.
The circular air-conditioning vents also gain additional rose gold finishing, just behind the silver ring. With an absolutely aggressive front, smooth coupe like window lines and swooping boot lines, it makes all competition look bland and boring. Please look forward for my review for Mazda 2 tomorrow, if they have it at other outlets I am visiting. Comfort -It's a driver's car so the ride is stiff. Mazda at the other hand often being the best survivor and escaped the worst collision. I just was passing by their showroom on last weekend.
Honda City is spacious, well equipped and comfy but boring to drive. Engine roars loudly and vibration can be felt in cabin when at full throttle, but no omph feeling might as well don't do full throttle driving at all, means no racing , outside noise is audible, tire noise is louder compare to M2 - Interior. I have 2016 Mazda 2 hatchback been driving for 1 year now and love the driving dynamics! Hence, this leads to me in buying the Mazda 2 sedan. However, I wish to highlight that my steering rack was also replaced together with the previously mentioned items during the last fix. Passenger can sitting comfortably in City.
Honda City is big cabin and spacious. That was my 1st time to see Mazda 2 on the road when i went to Guang Zhou last year and it was the pre-facelift version. Similar to the facelifted 3, the seat backs, door cards, padded dash panel and the center console are currently finished in maroon. The bumpy ride could be due to hatchback setup, could be less rear weight so more neck jerking bumpy ride is felt? Thanks for the new insight. Just read something new today.
I was never really a fan of Mazda but the 2 is an amazing vehicle. A quicker steering gear ratio makes the steering wheel on All-New Mazda2 more responsive. With the radio on, I still feel it could not rival Mazda 2 in the bass section Maybe more tweeter speakers? The Mazda 2 sedan has been design to have a big luggage capacity of 450 Litre. From the front, both body styles use the same identical design; the multi reflector headlamp, bumpers, grille design and fog lamps work together harmoniously. If you push the front seats towards the rear all the way, you won't get and leg space behind! The new is one hell of a looker on the road. As you know, a bit interior rattling sound coming from somewhere? The system automatically stops the engine when the driver presses the brake pedal and stops the car. As for the Mazda2, the interior looks more upmarket and classy than the City, and i believe the steering and control will be better than the City.
Both of them have lines and curves which meanings are inapprehensible by myself. I am not sure for Mazda though, looking at the new car, it seems everything is well fitted. However, we must know everyone have different criteria when selecting a car of what they like, i. That works, though adaptive is better. Then only got to see this car. The start-up is a bit rough than the Serena S-Hybrid I have, maybe the i-Stop uses fuel injection to restart the engine, instead of a starter motor.
For me, airbags are secondary to the handling and performance of the car, and also the interior quality. Engine roars loudly and vibration can be felt in cabin when at full throttle, but no omph feeling might as well don't do full throttle driving at all, means no racing , outside noise is audible, tire noise is louder compare to M2 - Interior. At least I can drive a bit further between refills. When I heard and saw the new Mazda 2, I instantly fall in love with it especially when they announce the price is below Rm90k and revealed the sedan. The handling of the City is poor to my standards due to the loose steering which is quite unpredictable.
