Thread: Mazda redefines subcompact car segment with new Mazda2

So the car is fully recommended by a horde of publicity prostitutes

Yaris just won it's first WRC rally!

All they've done is put some chrome around the foglights, changed the interior trim to a less snazzy one and gave the car a software update, of which the old model will get , oh and ramped up the price

Mazda 2 updated for 2017 in Thailand | Bangkok Post: auto

The new interior is ugly as sin

which is what you should base your car buying on

this marketing twaddle is just what most of the world is now based on

when will it swing back toward reality and what will be the consequences of having the majority of the worlds skills based on speaking sh1t ?

that's the same interior.. just different trim


Mazda 3 hatchback in red metallic has a very sexy arse, would have to be the 2.0 litre though.

Many cars are sold on color these days, that cherry red is common to Mazda and Lexus and is incredibly difficult to refinish. Manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of color to raise the profile and sell more units, without considering the aftersales market... but still, I love that color

Our rust coloured Yaris is proving to be brilliant.

Acceleration is quite remarkable.
Handling, superb.

And an extra 10,000 baht when I went the showroom last month. I preferred the pearlescent white tbh which was 7,000 extra.

The Mazda 2 was 60,000 baht cheaper then than it is now with the 30k discount they were offering.

Seems a much better buy now.

My previous car of more then a decade was white ... ex-renter, bought at auction.

I'm tired of white cars but ...

... but then I saw that pearlescent white colour. It's like it's a metallic white ... thumbs up ... looks sweet.

BTW, some spray Painters hate 'white' cars as there are maybe 50 shades of 'white' ... but there is only one black.

Yeah, but what's it like when the wife's driving?

At least a quarter of the cars on the road in the UAE are pearl white... they love em, especially Merc and the Nissan Patrol which is the size of a hill on wheels, problematic, but give 'em their due... these Indian painters may not be able to count to potato but they sure now how to adjust color.

Wouldn't buy a white car myself and they aren't common in the UK, even the police changed from white to silver cars because they couldn't sell the decommissioned vehicles... I do like a white hire car though, easy to paint over the little scrapes with a spray can well enough for the dolly receptionist not to notice.

I didn't build the feckin thing!

i know, i know hou didnt write the article too, ya daft coont

its not you who makes those 15000 baht sat nav sd cards for em is it?

Design-wise why do Mazdas seem to have an exaggerated front overhang. They look out of proportion compared to their contemporaries. I suppose the exhaust at the front of the engine necessitates the extra.

An observation...

Just got some verbal abuse from Thaimeme for posting stuff about cars. Seems that old coont is still fuckin' upset about me mowing me weeds!

Yes, I love cars, and bikes more you daft old bastard. Now fuck off into your wooden hut in the sticks and squat while munching on that sticky rice you daft twat.

Mazdas are the hest looking motors on the road at the moment. Especially the Mazda 3.

To look aggressive, a muscle car thing IMO and to be commended when you look at everyday Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans from the same country

^That's a proper lass. Natural mammries for me. At least they look it. Curvy as well.
