ohh thanks my 2009 is automatic its rare to find manual in lebanon besides its almost 1700 usd dollar cheaper but today morning i saw one 1.5 manual tran going over 190 km/h
but my car same engine 1.5 16 v automatic dont go more then 168 km on 4th gear automatic is goes very very very slowly but from 0 to 150 the end of 3rd gear its nice for a small engine like that

is this the mps u r on about ? x

MPS wasn't launched yet, maybe never will be . 1.5 manual is OK to go more than 190km/h. My private record with my 1.3 63kW manual is 185km/h by GPS (about 198km/h on tacho), I hope it could do more coz these was on winter tyres and was pretty windy that day. And my car has in papers 172km/h maximum speed

Yes the 1.5 is good, but i was just wondering if any1 had any ideas of what litre this mps would be if it is released in the UK? x

Where are you reading about MPS? This post is about Mazda2 with automatic transmission control . I think you are little bit confused

[laura]

sorry i am writing in the wrong place x

It happens to us all, so don't be concerned and try again

I was also cruising at 120 Km/h and the GPS showed 111km/h!!!

Mazda 2 1.5 A/T has an old fashioned A/T gearbox and not very economical. In city  consumption is about 9.1 l/100km. Competitors generally use  modern electronic gearboxes and they are much more economical than a Mazda 2 A/T. For example pug 207 2AT in city figure is about 7.9 l/100 km and clio 1.2 easyshift figure is 7.6 l/100 km..Both cars are more economical than manual versions in the city drving ..But mazda2 is A/T is far more fuel hungry than manual version and all the competitors.

To my knowledge Mazda has a 2  for Japanese market which has 1.3 miller cycle engine with CVT box. Can not reach the full engine and economy data but it is claimed to be  20% more economical than a 1.3 manual Mazda 2...

Why don't they bring that CVT to Europe instead of importing that fuel-hungry (for petrol rich people like russians) auto box..

i have the automatic 1.5 litre engine mazda 2 its good from 0 to 150 km but on the 4th gear the car stopped speeding , first it automatic limited , second , air factors is important but my maximum was 175 km from 0 to 100 km it took me 11 seconds its kinda fast for city car , but if u dont face traffic , i advice u to have the manual one

yesterday i tried speeding with my m2 automatic 2009 , with the sport body kit that i installed , it was more stable , and faster maybe something with aerodynamics , yesterday i achieved 205 km /hr with my automatic , odometer now is 15 000 i think when ur new engine start working , it goes faster  or maybe i had guts to try it especially on our sh..ty roads but anyway i enjoy it alot and still special on the roads

Mazda have delayed the car, But we still expect it to come out but not until early new year.
