These products are seriously in need of a new model. Other Mazda models like the 3, CX-30, CX-5 etc atleast feel bit more premium than their direct competitors, while the 2 and CX-3 are simply pathetic and unattended.

It's why the diesels were particularly problematic especially with long-term ownership.<br /><br />Europe has the highest compression ratio for the Mazda2, even Japan doesn't get it. Again, it's all down to the different fuel qualities. Again, horsepower and torque are the same be it the super high compression ratio or our compression ratio. We just don't get that 15.1:1 ratio, we get the 12:1.Ulysses Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863291552170192774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-28464899996095297322021-10-23T18:14:08.511+08:002021-10-23T18:14:08.511+08:00I don't think its a question of "forced t...I don't think its a question of "forced to buy". The buyer can adjust to the demands of the vehicle as common sense would dictate. Besides, the poor fuel quality argument has always been around for the Jap and koryan brands even before the Euro 6 blah blah. You never hear of BMW Mercedes or Audi complain about our fuel 15 years ago. The BMW M3 or M5 you bought locally 15 years ago was the same one sold in Europe and ran well with the native gasoline, while the Jap and koryan brands always whimper about our alleged dismal fuel quality. I think were just being duped and sorry, patronizing articles like this do not help advance or improve our bargaining chip for getting the best in the market. In addition, there would be no problem if the 2022 Mazda sold locally was priced lower than the variants sold in Europe with the uber high compression engine. Unfortunately, we pay the same price and get the short end of the stick. Sorry, that's the problem. <br />Max Cyclo 44https://www.blogger.com/profile/18046868556507842428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-90637506610200555762021-10-23T13:46:38.282+08:002021-10-23T13:46:38.282+08:00Makes sense, they better market the hell out of th...Makes sense, they better market the hell out of the Mazda 2.

I see Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Rolls and Bentleys getting fuel at the local neighborhood gas station. So, the Mazdas can't survive on our local fuel? Perhaps 3rd world countries deserve 3rd world engines. Sounds B.S. to me.
