It definitively is when you don´t explicitly explain it to your customers and give them a (real) way out. Terms & Conditions are legalese. Nobody reads them all and its not realistic to expect that. Burying some controversial features that affects every driver in real time, that can even affect...

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion and we can disagree and be civil and I don´t want to get into an ongoing debate about this. But let me point put that the right and desire for privacy is not about hiding wrongdoing and that, in fact, it has generally been considered wrong to track and...

So I am looking to upgrade my radio and speakers on my Mazda2 Sport. Some speakers come with these detached tweeters... and I got to thinking... couldn´t I switch the interior trim on the other side of the mirrors with the Touring model's and install the tweeters inside that bracket? Or would...

Absolutely. A lot of them just use manipulative tactics to get you to spend much more than the actual automobile is worth. And often you don't even get a decent (or any) warranty. Here's a video about said topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7aSoFqAyK8

Yes, agreed! But this is a breech of trust and one needs a free option of having it physically disabled, not just via software and a pinky swear. Anyway, this is just a theoretical situation for me, as long as the 2 keeps on running. But eventually it will be an issue for everybody, and it is a...

I can´t answer your two questions directly, but I will chime in that as a 2012 Mazda2 owner, I am very happy with her and am in the middle of a refit to fix her up from a fender bender, repair her suspension and upgrade her audio system and eventually I plan to get her the intake upgrade, too...

I recently found out about this. I have an older Mazda and was dreaming about a newer one somewhere down the line, but this has really hampered any such desire. That we just have to throw up our hands and take this abuse from now on is nonsense. The people get what the people accept. It's our...

So I was going to install a subwoofer under the driver's seat of my little Mazda2, but I just came across this paragraph in the user manual: So, according to Mazda, placing anything under the seat can be dangerous.... Any feedback on this, guys? What is one to do? Is a trunk/hatch subwoofer...

So my key fob battery was dead. So I replaced the battery. But I guess I pushed a little too hard on the little plastic tab to seperate the top and bottom part of the fob, and... I broke it. So what do I do now? Both parts work, but they won’t come together anymore. For now, I’ve just put the...

I was thinking about the speakers, too, though its mainly a little more bass that I want. As far as being handy, I'm not quick or experienced, but I can learn and get the job done. :-) I was also looking at some aftermarket head units for sound quality and easier updatability. But I really...

I'm thinking of adding a subwoofer. I'm not an audiophile or a bass-head, but I've been really disappointed with the bass lately. I have to set the bass to -6 sometimes. I just want to pump up the bass without distortions or my speakers sounding like they're going to blow. But I don't want to...

Took this the other day. I just loved all the shades of green in the picture and how "natural" the 2 looks. My friends were bugging me about "taking another picture of your car". LOL! Honestly- the car looks great, but it's not just the car here. The photo really comes together well, in my...

Thanks. Truly, it is a matter of preference. I'm rather partial to bright, loud colors myself. ;-) They look nice as well. As for the fit- Do you get an "air gap" between the curved edges of the seat or do they fit like the proverbial glove? Obviously, when someone is sitting their back would...

Please, do tell...

I want to thank you guys for the thread. I went ahead and got some for my Mazda2!
