Hey mate congrats! That's a nice little car you got there.

[SehnKhan]

Haha nice one Rod, have to see it on the next cruise.
I quite like those Mazda2's, how is it to drive?

[chipa]

Nice. I'm glad you got the manual, I've only driven a Mazda2 auto and I wasn't too impressed with the tranny.

[Melbastina]

Yeah I've only driven the autos, and I found them average at best.

Congrats on the new ride, and I love the colour!

[pr1mo]

[Rupewrecht]

[mrpayner]

Nicely done Rod.. Congrats!

[boostedbatman]

Nice pickup there Rod

[Lunchbox#bg]

theyre not bad little cars hey

[newman]

i havn't driven one but i found the interior was really nice... sitting in the back felt like sitting in a high chair though :rolleyes:

[Cosmo Dude]

I only test drive an the manual, I wasn't realy interested in a 4-speed auto. It needs to be hit with the lowering stick and could do with an exhaust note and probably another 20Nm.
The odometer now reads 175km and the fuel guage reads 3/4 full. The little 45 litre fuel tank should be good for about 650-700km.

Heheh.. wouldn't it be nice if Mazda Australia's subsites were this good? I"m talking MPS and what have you sites..

Throw on some 20's and drop it on its nuts, then throw on a kit and spray it!

dump in a twin turbo motor and a fat exhaust..

oh wait..



(looks nice! have fun with it!)

[the michelinman]

sexy little thing!........nice pick up

[arden]

the sport model looks the goods!

[redhotp5]

OOOHHHH I like. A sexay little commuter. I bet it gets great gas mileage. Now if Mazda would bring that to the states....along with the Mazda8 (to haul the fam).

Congrats!!!

[Cosmo Dude]

Woo hoo,
Took the 2 through the twisties between Kalista and Sassafras today :D :D :D
I'm thinking that it may get an exhust and springs for Christmas.

Well I said I saw a friend at a club day at Sandown run his SR20 DET powered 1980 GTV and that it stopped on the back straight.
I also said i wouldn't race the 2 but a spirited drive through the Dandenongs isn't racing. Racing to me involves competition and race tracks, not public roads.

Congrats Cosmo on the new purchase

Belated squeals of happiness, absolutely awesome!

I look forward to the next time we are in Melbourne so we can get the grand tour again.
