2011 Mazda2 | Six Month Ownership Update

[@EricAtMazda]

The HVAC issue sounds like the blower motor resistor, I replaced it in our 2010 Jetta a few years back (got a vid on it) and it was super easy!

[@MikeVT]

Ordering one now!!

[@EricAtMazda]

Mike VT Good luck! 🤓😊

Front end alignment with string & a tape measure. No idea how that works. Thanks for the update 👍

My mom has a Mazda2 - she loves it! Simplicity is the name of the game with these cars. They sold well in Thailand and all throughout south-east Asia. I think Mazda's goal was to try to develop brand loyalty in burgeoning economies, and produced a simple, rock solid little car that's super easy to maintain and lots of fun to drive. They're cool little cars. Michelin X-ice 2's are the bomb - exactly like you said.

I’m digging your new glasses.

There is an upgrade to the rear engine mount. That might be the sound you’re hearing. I have the same thing on my Mazda 2. There’s a guy on KZbin that says, the five must mods for Mazda 2 So I am going to try that rear mount, it’s more stiff than the stock one that’s more like a rubber band.

Nice little Mazda. I have a question is this little car good for tall drivers? I’m 6’3. The reasons why I ask is I was considering one of these as a daily driver and this car seems to fit the bill for me. I sat in the Honda Fit as well and it has plenty of headspace considering my height. I’m hoping this little Mazda is the same. Cheers and be well!

[@unclefreddieDied]

did you get one? i'm thinking about it too but i'm only 5'5"

[@jeffdeleon3567]

@@unclefreddieDied no I did not, ended up getting a ‘16 cx-5 touring awd. Which is also a great vehicle no complaints

I'm 6'4. I drive a 2005 Toyota Echo and I fit like a glove

[@MikeVT]

Nice! You’ll enjoy it for those reasons. I still have mine 👍🏼

[@unclefreddieDied]

@@MikeVT how is or how was the clutch?

[@MikeVT]

@@unclefreddieDied Still strong. It doesn't get many miles -- maybe 5k or so per year but mostly driving around town.

What do you do with the cars

[@scottkemp2747]

Fan could be blower moter resister

[@WookieMonster75]

If the heater works on high and no heat on other settings it is 100% the heater resister , should be a cheap fix

[@MikeVT]

This is the correct answer! I ended up replacing the heater resistor and it solved the problem. It was indeed cheap and easy!

[@andrewmellan1156]

Definitely a blower motor resistor

[@MikeVT]

It was indeed!
