r/mazda2: For Mazda 2 enthusiasts! Hey, stupid little question. I just filled up my tank from empty with octane 88 cause it was 20 cents cheaper per gallon and I wasn’t really thinking.

Jul 23, 2023 · I had a 2011 2.2 I bough it at 135,000 miles I had run up maybe 20k miles and I was on the interstate and the oil pressure light came on. Needless to say I stopped and turned off engine. My mechanic told me the oil was blocked and this is a fault with the pre 2015 2.2 Mazda engines. He fixed it and I got rid of it the following month.

Aug 29, 2012 · The Mazda 2 is a very good car. Considering the Ford Fiesta also, as it is the same chassis with different drive train (better MPG, +20HP, good manual). Reliability on both cars has been well proved to be good in other markets.

New Mazda 3 2.5t has a lot of torque (I'm already at wheel 370 lbft) but only about 257 wHP on o1, as the engine has been updated after the Mazda 6 2.5t. Just a piggyback tune (in Beta) from Burger motorsports. Strut tower brace helps a ton. MazdaEdit allows you to adjust shifting as well, but you have to be careful. The car needs TLC but it ...

Jun 29, 2014 · Basically, I like the Mazda 3 better, but I cheaper gas costs of the 2 (especially with gas prices right now) are really alluring, and it offers all the space the I really need. Additionally, I would be purchasing used, between 2010-2013 years.

The turbo doesn't do any "harm" to the engine ever The boost provided by the Skyactiv turbo is certainly not "minimal" - maximum boost from the factory is 17.4 psi, or 1.2 bar. Obviously, you don't understand what boost is.

Apr 13, 2022 · That's because Mazda's fix is to just add oil or do a free oil change each time the light comes on. My dealership did not lie to me and show me all the up to date posted bulletins on the 2.0 and 2.5 engine oil consumption issue. At this time they have no fix for the issue.

Dec 1, 2020 · A coworker of mine has a Mazda 2. He's been looking for a truck since he does farm work and wants to get into snow removal, but he will still have the Mazda as a daily runabout that's cheap, reliable, and fuel efficient. Having worked on them, they're super simple to fix and seem to handle even neglect fairly well.

Sep 11, 2022 · I am big fan of the MX 5 but it won't be practical for me at the moment - single dad and can't imagine how it would be to drop my 8 yo daughter at school in a two seater. Maybe in the future as a second car. I settled on the Mazda 2 basically because of the looks of Mazda's and the naturally aspirated 1.5 petrol engine - less parts, more reliable.

Oct 27, 2022 · I've experienced knock sensor related check engine lights lately on my 2009 Mazda 2 (1.5 l petrol/gas 76kW (103hp). For me it's a "P0328 - knock sensor circiut high (bank 1 or single sensor)" - which as far as i understand is a faulty sensor or damaged wiring.
