    Ginding/pop noise when starting off....

    it's probably that. My car does that everytime I go after sitting for a little while. I thought it was a little weird at first but I get used to it.

    My Mazda Died :(

    I had my fuel pump replaced under warranty on my ford focus 2000 in 2003. They had a recall on that. It was a good thing because it cost close to 800$cdn. They even extended the warranty to 10 years if I recall. The fuel pump was in the gas tank. I hope we didn't get the same kind of fuel...

    winter tires

    yeah I noticed the X-ice also but they are pricey ! why didn't you buy the right dimension ? they are available in the 185/55 with your 195/55, you're close to be 1/2" bigger in the overall diameter, you're speedo must be off.

    Mazda2 gas mileage and defrost problem

    again, you can use the defrost as long as the bottom level is switch to fresh air, not recirculate and without the A/C. Do you think we use the A/C to defrost our windows in winter in Canada ? switch to FRESH AIR, not RECIRCULATE !(whistle)

    Mazda2 gas mileage and defrost problem

    you're on recirculation for the air. You cannot use the defrost on recirculation of air, but it works only when the AC is on. your car is brand new with the AC on, it doesn't help the fuel economy. Just ride it and do a couple of fuel check up, you'll see it getting better each time

    Getting a Mazda 2 this weekend, looking for last minute advice

    one thing I don't like about the GX is the interior panel of the doors are only in plastic, the GS looks more upgrade as well as the seat with the red piping looks better on the GS.

Fuel economy is better with the manual also. I only filled up the tank once but got 7.2L/100km (almost all city driving) Color is only a...
