Your speed limits are about the same as in other Asian countries. You should be able to get a speed camera radar detector like I've seen in every Asian countries to fight those, although it can only warn you, and you still can't drive faster than speed limit too often if speed cameras are everywhere.Speed cameras, red-light speed cameras & mobile speed cameras everywhere. Most urban speed limits either 50km/h [31.06mph] or 60km/h [37.28mph] and in some places like city/suburb/town centres 40km/h [24.85mph) (also around schools during morning and afternoon pick up times). Maximum highway speed 110km/h [68.35mph]
Some other roads & highway speed limts range from 70km/h [43.5mph] to 100km/h [62.0mph]

Radar detectors are illegal here.
So I can only go by what MZD Connect Navigation warnings tells me and those are only for fixed speed cameras, red-light speed cameras. Nothing for mobile speed camera's except what I see on the road.
Yeah technically Australia belongs to Oceania, but its so close to Asian countries, like Indonesia is just at northwest of it. Australia definitely has very close ties to many Asian countries.I guess it kinda makes sense geographically......
They've done twin turbos before; even their SkyActiv-D engine is twin turbo if I'm not mistaken. Even if they stay with a single turbo, they still have the dynamic pressure feature built into their exhaust manifold. They can get a bigger turbo in there, tune the flap in the exhaust manifold to feed the turbo as quickly as possible. Really depends on how much they want to spend on it or how much resources they want to devote to it. With SkyActiv-X coming soon, chances are they won't bother. Those VW engines on the GTI/Golf R/Audis are truly impressive.But that’s not quite how it works with turbo engines designed for minimal lag. To make it peak higher it will need a larger turbo. That will equal more lag. It’s competing priorities.
VW has used a combination of a super charger for low speed and a turbo for higher speeds to try to get both. Can be done but would be a lot more complicated and expensive.
But anyway I doubt they will invest much more on powertrains outside of the X.
Sounds like if I was living there, I would be fine driving a Mazda with the NA 2.5 engine.Speed cameras, red-light speed cameras & mobile speed cameras everywhere.

Asian auto makers may not design the engine based on speed limit, but most of them based on tax, the bigger the displacement, the higher the tax. Car owners would pay higher initial sales tax and annual registration fee (which are much higher than in the US) on 2.5L than a 2.0L.They don't base engine size on Japanese speed limits. The 2.0 may not be "fast" but it's still quite capable of hitting American speed limits. Just like my wife's Plymouth Breeze when I met her. 110hp. It could get up to 80... eventually.

Yeah I think even the Miata in Japan is a 1.5L vs the 2.0L here and everywhere else.

We get both 1.5 & 2.0 engines here
