- Normal or Sport mode at a flick of a switch. Drive selection switch. Adjusting the Throttle and gearbox response.

- Mazda MZD Connect infotainment system (I-Drive feel) with a seven-inch touchscreen, Commander Control knob and six speakers,
- SKYACTIV-G Direct Injection High Compression engine. Fuel Consumption of 20km/l. Hence, certified EEV (Energy Efficient Vehicles)
- Retro Mercedes-like Air Vents with center Hidden Air vents. Note the High quality Plastics and leather combo.

BRIEF DRIVE TIME:
I had a Very short 5km test driving the New Mazda 2 Skyactiv. It's already nippy under Normal mode. It's More than adequate in power with smooth torquey yet whisper quiet engine. A flick to Sport mode and the "Demon" unleashed. The gearchange was delayed, throttle response quicker, steering heavier and Engine sounds coarser. BUT at the expense of Fuel Consumption as the "Distance to Empty" tank indicator dropped noticeably.
How's the interior space?
I let the photos do the talking:
Front adjusted as such.
The impressive part is the Ride and Handling and NVH. Very impressive for a B-segment. It's a Driver's car. Very Continental feel. It ACED the following challenges:
- Soaked up speed bumps
- tackle Hairpin Corners (U-turn) with minimal bodyroll
- cross potholes like a boss
- accelerates (0-100km/h in 9.3 seconds - Australian Spec) and braking
I dared to say, it's the BEST RIDE and HANDLING B-segment around. Only the Audi A3 and Ford Fiesta Ecoboost runs close. NOTE the Audi A3 PRICE more than DOUBLED. It Puts even Honda City (previous benchmark) to shame. Toyota Vios, Mitsubishi Attrage/Mirage and Nissan Almera are leagues away. Let's put it in English Football ranking in terms of N.V.H (Noise, Vibration and Harshness). I call this "B-segment N.V.H League".
PREMIER LEAGUE
Mazda 2 Skyactiv, Audi A3 (included for benchmark purpose) and Ford Fiesta Ecoboost
DIVISION 1 (Championship)
Honda City, VW Polo, Honda Jazz, Suzuki Swift and Peugeot 208
Division 2:
Chevrolet Sonic, Kia Rio, Proton IRIZ (let down by CVT)
Division 3:
Toyota Vios, Mitsubishi Attrage/Mirage
Division 4:
Nissan Almera (Underpower, Noisy, Poorest N.V.H, Ugly too). Only 2 reasons to buy is the Affordable Buying price and lowest maintenance.
CONCLUSION:
This is The Best ALL-Rounded under RM100,000 B-segment money can buy. There's only 3 drawbacks. El-cheapo Halogen Headlights with Bulb DRL,
poor rear legroom (Hey, Mazda 3 Skyactiv also have this problem) and 2 airbags. The Headlights can be upgraded in the near future, as for the 2 Airbags?
Bermaz explanation only Australian Market comes with 6 airbags. Rest of South East Asia gets only 2 Airbags. My Rating 8/10 for hatchback and 9/10 for sedan. Reason hatchback lower is because of the Pathetic Boot Space and poor headroom. Can't wait to SEE/FEEL/TOUCH the Sedan. Shall Review this Scoreline if it fell below my expectations. Watch this space.
