Things you Dislike/Would change.

Ya know, I honestly didn't think I'd ever care about that small little hook but whenever I travel somewhere for Holidays, events and such, that little hook really helps out, lol.

I use the front seat headrest stem to hang shirts

 

[MacAttack7]

I'd take a little more horsepower, more torque, and a telescoping steering wheel..............all at the same price though & the same mpg's.

 

[Joker2]

Cannot hang laundry on rear hooks on cars equipped with side curtain air bags unless the hooks can be positioned such that the bag cannot be damaged nor can it/nor the laundry hanger be impaled in someone's temple.

As for sunroof, it would be awful to the weight and balance of this car.

I do not like the gearing on 2nd, but I think that we get decent fuel economy because 2-5 are geared so high. For us with 5MTs.

 

[Phontsolo]

My only complaint would be that i wish we had the UK & Asian options. Too many to list here....

More horse power...

A MazdaSpeed2...

 

[proximal]

- Less of a gap between first and second gears
- Bluetooth and USB input as standalone options
- A center armrest and to move the rest on the driver's door panel in a couple inches
- Better pedal placement for heel and toe downshifts

 

[Clod_King]

USB input would've been amazing.

There is a bluetooth option. I didn't get it, but tere is bluetooth available.

I noticed the lack of a temperature gauge AFTER I got home with my car. Lousy. Every car I've own has had one. How come a 1979 Chevy pickup will have a full on temp gauge, and a 2011 Mazda2 will have a blue dummy light, and red dummy light??? I'm going to install my own gauge I guess. That is my only real gripe with this car though. I wouldn"t be able to get much more in a car forthe price I paid...

Undercarriage, car is naked and exposed to rust badly, I will have to buy 3 cans of spray rubber just to do what the factory should have done, and it has no engine plastic underneath meaning all the road salt is going to wear away at all the engine components.

this, b/c is it a big concern to some
also i drive to galveston alot. so.....

You won't see the oversized grin on future Mazdas, starting with the handsome CX-5.

It's the MAZDA DNA pattern. One look from a distance and you know its a MAZDA and not just some Ford edge or Fiesta..

I found video uploads in youtube explaining the designs.

This is part: 2, there are part 1 to part 4..
