Mazdas photocopiers obviously hard at work...

[angelos]

Nice in what class it will compete? City cars or superminis?

[majki]

This is for A class, something like Hyundai i10, VW Fox/Lupo etc.
But this looks weird, nothing common with the concept Kyiora

Btw., it has shorter antenne, we can use it than for our M2's

[Andre79]

u can always buy antenna for 2 dollars:) and keep the iriginal in the trunk

[majki]

Yeah, but I want small and GOOD antenna, not some vietnameese dummy-antenne

Hi, quite clever of Mazda to make it look like a 2 that's been left out in the rain for to long  Has a much better hatch handle mechanism than the 2 though...

It should since it's a new model and since Mazda learns from its mistakes (mazda2 old gen:P)

in the link stated above 3rd paragraph it says :Though based on a ‘2’ this test car has a short wheelbase, and a dummy bonnet. It  also features differently shaped taillights and headlamps, and  shorter rear doors. We also spotted a differently shaped and placed fuel filler cap and a different rear hatch. And that’s not all!

well shorter rear doors then the two , i bet only kids can fit in it

[angelos]

Still it has doors:P

[majki]

It's an A class car, my god. Simmilar to i10, P107, Aygo etc, Angelos, look on them how big rear doors have!!!! It's city car, second or third car to family, for wife for shopping or for children to go to school etc., no vacations trip or for moving some furniture

LOL, so one wonders why this hasn't migrated across to the M2, they still have so much to learn about designing quality interiors and making us have more confidence in the brakes as well.

What you mean "quality interiors"? From ergonomical view is interior of M2 perfect. About used materiels that's another thing, I know, hard plastique it's not the best way, but I have no problems with it, my interior after 20tkm and one year looks like new...but yes, maybe feeling when you touch the plastique is better if the plastique is soft..

Hi, exactly, the plastic used are cheap and nasty looking and they also mark easily. It's a shame they don't look around at other, european, cars to see it done properly, however it's probably a car designed for the Japanese market formost, thus it more than likely will satisfy that market...

Hehe, did you see the ones for JP market? They have leather or textile on doors!!! More comfy than European...so I think Mazda Motor Europe are swindling us .
Mark easily? Guys, what are you doing with the interior? I have no marks on it after 20tkm and 1year .
