Well had my first problem with my Mazda 2, died in the middle of an intersection today. I had a full tank of gas, (filled 2 days ago) and after driving approx 25 miles to work, I stopped at a stoplight, started accelerating and then she died on me. Wouldn't start and just clicks when the...

Hello, I don't know the proper name for the switch that let's you switch the air from circulating inside air to getting air from the outside. I was wondering which one is better to use and if they vary on occasion. Thanks! Josh

Hey guys, I have a general question, on my girlfriend ford focus, the metal tube which the transmission fluid dipstick slides into is broken. The dipstick isn't broken, just the metal tube that it slides into is broken. The problem is, it's way down in the engine, and inaccessible to be taped...

Any suggestions? The paint I got from the dealer is only a brush. if I had a pen I think this would be a lot easier. The issue is with the brush, you can't really put it on correctly, because it puts a bubble droplet over the rock chip, where I only want to fill it in. Any tips on how to repair...

Hey guys. The dealership did my first oil change 4 months ago, and recently sent me an email stating that I should bring her in for another oil change, even though I've only drove her for 3,000 miles. I'm supposed to be able to go for 5,000 miles before the next oil change, but I haven't drove...

Hey guys, I noticed that since this past winter, sometimes my car makes a weird noise with the A/C on. It's difficult to describe, but basically when I have A/C on and I accelerate, (sometimes when I'm just cruising at constant speed too) I get an intermittent "whooshing" sound. Initially I...

What's this I hear of a cold weather recall? I saw it referenced in another thread, and would like some more information about it. Have there been any recalls on the m2?

Hey! Quick question, this is my first new car and I want to know if all of the scheduled maintenance is required. Is some of it just a waste of money? Or is it in general all worth the money? If anyone has some specifics on what to skip and what to get, that'd be apreciated. I'm at 6.2k miles...

I just got a car wash and noticed a bunch of condensation under drivers side head light. Anyone else having this trouble? I haven't installed any HID or messed with them at all so it's gotta be a warranty issue I'm assuming. I've set up an appt for the 20th to get it checked out (I'm going on...

Hello, Don't worry, it's not my M2 that I'm concerned about haha... my girlfriend has a ford focus and around the wheel well the paint has chipped off all the way to the steel. There is some redness on the steel itself but it's not like bubbly rust etc. What's the best way to remedy this? I...

I remember reading awhile back that the sport doesn't have speakers back there. I was wondering if anyone who owns a sport has installed speakers and what they would suggest? I'm buying an infinity bass link set up and would like to have speakers back there too, to improve quality. Is the...

Driving to AZ to save money on plane tickets! Thinking we will take my m2, I've never taken a road trip of this distance. My fiance and I plan on taking turns and driving straight through (25 hours). Suggestions would be great! Josh

Has anyone purchased a bug deflector for their two? I've been looking for one and was hoping for some suggestions!

So I've read on here that goodwinracing is the best deal for rims, is that a pretty general consensus? I got my tax return, and I'm going to buy some Rims tonight, just wanted to make sure their the ones to go with. Additionally, I plan on getting 15x7 +40 mm offset, because that's what I've...

Hello, My mazda has almost 5k miles on it, and the rear passenger tire just blew today. There is an inch long hole in between the treads of the middle of the tire. Like a vertical cut inside the ridge of between two adjacent treads. You guys think this type of thing is covered by warranty...

I bought some mud flaps that fit the 2011 2, they are not OEM, but I cannot figure out how to install them. Can anyone give me tips? I'm confused because the screw hole on the wheel well isn't a real screw, it's some type of plastic thing that has arms that spread out. That screw thing isn't...

Has anyone who has gotten aftermarket rims been looking to sell their alloys? I have a sport, and would like to get the touring wheels. Let me know!

Is this possible, and will it sound good? I would like to get a sub, without messing with all the stereo controls etc. Can anyone suggest what I need to purchase and give any general advice, if it is possible?

When I bought my car, one of the selling points was free oil changes. I went and brought the car in for the first oil change, at 3600 miles, and when I looked everything over I noticed they filled it with 5w20 instead of 0w20. I'm assuming they did this to save money, is this an okay thing to...

Hey! I live in Minnesota, and it's getting pretty cold right about now, and I've noticed that when I start my car cold sometimes it will make a clicking sound for awhile until it warms up. Is this normal? Or should I be bringing the car in to get checked out? It's not very loud and increases in...
