The satnav in Mazda 2 SE Nav models and above is not compatible with a Mac. Possible to download the 'Mazda tool box' to a Mac, but not possible to update the software on a Mac. Can only be done on Windows. Mazda dealers will do it for Mac users, but they can't do it themselves.
01-08-2016:
Report of failure of a/c compressor of March 2015 Mazda 2 Launch Edition 1.5, a/c used regularly. In July 2016 owner began to notice air was not that cool and then it failed (blowing warm air). Inferred from initial call to Mazda this was not an isolated case although since, my main dealer says it had had a "couple of cases". N ew compressor on order since last week of July. Possibly a result of the same problem of the EC Directive requiring a switch from R134a refrigerant to R1234Y, as with Nissans and Peugeots. (Correct name for new gas HFO 1234yf.)
01-11-2016:
Report of infotainment system malfunction on 3 week old Mazda 2 115ps Sport Nav. System restarts numerous times intermittently and steering wheel controls only work intermittently. Mazda dealer agreed to replace Infotainment system under warranty.
03-07-2017:
Another report of problems with the a/c of a January 2016 Mazda 2. "The air conditioning failed some weeks ago. The local supplying dealer tells me they have a whole batch of similar faults to deal with but can’t say when mine will be done. Latest estimate is about July 9th, but that’s tentative.
13-07-2017:
Complaint of Mazda 2 bought new in November 2016 (and consequently a/c not used until March 2017). A/c did not blow cold. Dealer found a leak and ordered part to fix it, but there have been delays. Owner offered a courtesy car in the meantime. Owner told fault is with the evaporator supplied to the manufacturer by their part maker/supplier and that the manufacturer has known about it for a long time. Apparently the evaporator is being redesigned. Mazda confirmed, " We are aware of an issue with the air conditioning condensers and evaporator units on certain Mazda2 and CX-3 vehicles. The failures have nothing to do with the change of refrigerant. We are supporting customers who are affected by this issue, particularly in this hot weather. This issue has been resolved in production and we are replacing components as quickly as possible, in fact Mazda Corporation is supporting by airfreighting remanufactured replacement parts to the UK, with greater supply now coming through so we should see this problem diminish in the coming couple of months."
27-07-2017:
Report of retaining bolt falling out of front suspension of new (1,100 mile) Mazda 2 being driven at 20mph and suspension collapsing to the extent that the entire nearside front wheel and hub assembly detached. May lead to a DVSA recall.
18-01-2018:
Report of front brake pads and discs of 2016 Mazda 3 lasting only 13,500 miles before requiring replacement. Video sent to owner. This is obviously unacceptable and "not of satisfactory quality" as they should have lasted 40,000 miles, so owner should demand he pays no more than 1/3 of the retail proce of their replacement. (Quite a lot of suspension surface rust for a 2016 car shown in the video, complained about by other Mazda 2 owners, but this is nothing to worry about.)
28-07-2018:
Report that Dual Mass Flywheel of Mazda 2s are only designed to work in forward drive. Reader who lives in a hilly area frequently has to reverse on single track roads to allow approaching vehicles to pass andsufferes severe vibration. Mazda issued a Worldwide bulletin stating that the "body vibration when driving uphill in reverse gear" is a "normal situation and is not a vehicle failure". Two 'driving tips' are given to avoid such vibration, the first indicating that rather than completely engaging the clutch, the driver should 'increase time to engage clutch a little longer than usual'. In the second example Mazda says "increase engine speed higher than normal idle using the accelerator pedal and the clutch pedal".
31-07-2018:
Complaints of rattles from area of B pillar of Thai built 2015 Mazda 2 coming to the end of its 3 year warranty.
03-08-2018:
Another report of 2016 Mazda 2 needing new brake discs at 12,000 miles, quoted circa £250. See: 18-1-2018.
23-08-2018:
Complaint about infotainment and technology on Mazda 2 bought new in December 2016. On starting, the radio will either switch on or not switch on randomly (probably DAB signal). At the serious end of the scale, the automatic collision warning deploys if you drive towards a low sun. Satnav does not recognise owners address nor even the address of the Mazda dealer he bought the car from. It freezes in use and sometimes takes the "driver all kinds of crazy routes". Dealer admits there are some issues with the satnav (including the addresses) and managed to switch off the automatic collision warning.
16-10-2018:
Complaint of problems with gearchange of 2018 Mazda 2 SE-L Nav, 1.5 Skyactive-G Petrol 90ps Manual. "From the first day of ownership, I have experienced, albeit intermittently, a reluctance of the gearshift mechanism to move 'across the gate 'when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear. I have also had problems selecting first gear when sitting at traffic lights, under the engine stop system, 'i-stop'. The Mazda dealer has twice attempted to solve this by 'Adjusting the Cables', but to no avail."
19-11-2018:
Complaint of cloth covered seats in 2015 Mazda 2 with 28k miles "squeaking".
05-01-2019:
Report that judder from driveline of 2015 Mazda 2 1.5 115PS, thought to be a failing DMF, was entirely eliminated by switching to Shell V-Power Superunleaded.
01-03-2019:
Report of plastic parcel shelf hinge stud failing twice on a 2016 Mazda 2. Dealer replaced the panel out of 'goodwill' the first time, but wants £167 to do it again.
10-03-2019:
Report of problem with fuel gauge of 2016 Mazda 2 Sport Nav. In January 2019 after a 100+ journey fuel gauge appeared to be stuck on 'full'. 'Range Indicator' was also not working accurately. Mazda dealer replaced the fuel sender and road tested the car. They thought the problem was fixed. Over the following days it became clear to me that the fuel gauge was still faulty. Mazda dealer had the car back in February and checked 'fault codes' on the fuel sender and re-programmed it. Also checked that the fuel sender was not catching on anything.
25-03-2019:
Report of leaking rear damper on 2015 Mazda 2 at 15,000 miles. No replacements in stock in the UK.
22-05-2019:
Spanner light appeared on dashboard of 2016 Mazda 2 Sport. Found to need all 4 injectors replacing under warranty.
01-07-2019:
Report of rear seatbelt shackles of 2015 Mazda 2 locking open, despite only 4,200 miles and the belts hardly ever having been used. (Might be nithing more than dust in them.)
08-07-2019:
Report of oil light of 33k mile 2015/65 Mazda 2 1.5 Skyactiv D coming on 3 times in the last year. Driven "relatively hard" on 20 mile commute, plus motorway runs of over 50 miles. Uses Shell V-Power diesel. If oil level is rising it cannot be actively regenerating properly and needs investigating.
09-09-2019:
Report of 66 reg Mazda 2 Sport D Nav having been recalled under warranty for a new handbrake lever, aircon condenser and control module reprogram and had 4 new injectors over 3 years.
30-10-2019:
Significant Court Action Filed Against Mazda in Australia. AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION AND CONSUMER COMMISSION v MAZDA AUSTRALIA PTY LIMITED. "This proceeding concerns unconscionable conduct and false or misleading representations by the Respondent (Mazda) to the individual consumers identified at Annexure A (the Consumers) who purchased faulty Mazda motor vehicles (the Vehicles) and attempted to exercise their rights under the consumer guarantee provisions of the Australian Consumer Law (the ACL) to obtain a refund or replacement vehicle, but were repeatedly refused refunds or replacement vehicles and pressured to accept lesser offers made by Mazda only after multiple failures of the Vehicles and repeated attempted repairs."

The Sport Black features Brilliant Black front and side skirts contrast with both the free-of-charge Soul Red Metallic and Snowflake White Pearlescent paint choices, while the Sport Black is further distinguished by its Brilliant Black roof spoiler and chrome exhaust trim.
In addition to the standard equipment of the SE-L Nav, the Sport Black comes with 16-inch Gunmetal alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, auto lights, rain-sensing wipers and rear parking sensors. Limited to 400 cars.
March 2018
Mazda 2 updated for 2018
Priced from £13,295 to £17,095, the 2018 Mazda2 range features five revised trim levels: SE+, SE-L+, SE-L Nav+, Sport Nav+ and GT Sport Nav+. Exclusively powered by Mazda’s 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine, which is offered in 75, 90 and 115ps outputs, the updated Mazda2 range benefits from improved equipment to deliver extra value for money regardless of which model you choose.
The 2018 Mazda 2 also sees the introduction of a refreshed five grade line-up, additional equipment across the range and the launch of the limited edition Mazda2 Sport Black.
Limited to just 500 cars, the Sport Black is powered by the 90PS version of Mazda’s 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine and is marked out by its unique exterior detailing and free-of-charge choice of Deep Crimson Mica, Dynamic Blue Mica or Machine Grey Metallic paint.
Delivering a stand-out and sporty appearance that compliments the taut proportions of the Mazda2, the Sport Black features Brilliant Black detailing on the mirror caps, rear roof spoiler, skirt trims, grille and shark fin antenna, while 16-inch black alloy wheels and privacy glass add the finishing touch.
Other highlights of the updated 2018 Mazda2 range include the introduction of four new paint colours: Ceramic Metallic and Sonic Silver Metallic, plus Machine Grey Metallic and Soul Red Crystal, which both use Mazda’s unique three-layer TAKUMINURI painting technology. Compared to previous Mazda2’s Soul Red Metallic paint, Soul Red Crystal increases brightness by approximately 20 per cent and depth by 50 per cent.
Fitted as standard across the 2018 Mazda2 range, G-Vectoring Control (GVC) varies engine torque to optimise loading on the wheels when cornering to indiscernibly increase handling precision and improve comfort. As before, the Mazda2 features excellent active safety equipment with all 90ps and 115ps powered cars featuring Smart City Brake Support and Lane Departure Warning System.
October 2019
Mazda2 updated with added tech and improved refinement
Mazda has announced UK prices and specifications of the updated Mazda2 ahead of it arriving in dealerships at the end of November.
The simplified model range will be exclusively powered by Mazda's 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine combined with a mild-hybrid system.
Visually, the upgraded Mazda2 is marked out by a new grille featureing a mesh pattern similar to that used on the latest Mazda3, while the wider signature wing and revised headlights heighten the Mazda2’s sporty appearance. At the rear, there's a redesigned bumper.
Inside, revisions to dashboard trims, air vent louvres, door inserts and the instrument hood bring the Mazda2 up to date. The new front seats are more supportive, while new damping materials have been added in the cabin and a reduced gap around the base of the B-Pillar further upgrades sound insulation, as do revised sealing rubbers between the roof panel and the boot.
Fitted to all manual transmission cars, the 2020 Mazda2 benefits from mild-hybridisation with the debut of Mazda M Hybrid. Utilising a belt-integrated start generator (B-ISG) and brake regeneration it mobilises the B-ISG’s power generation to make the most of the energy stored in the capacitor to reduce load on the engine and enable quick restart to help lower emissions and improve fuel economy with extended auto engine stop time. As a result manual versions of the 2020 Mazda2 emit 94-95g/km depending on trim level.
Priced at £15,795, the entry-level 75PS SE-L model features rear parking sensors, 15-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, climate control and cruise control. SE-L Nav, Sport Nav and GT Sport Nav models are powered by the 90PS version of 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine and feature Mazda Connect navigation with a seven-inch colour touch-screen, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, the safety equipment tally is enhanced with Front Smart City Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning and Lane-keep Assist.
From Sport Nav onwards the 2020 Mazda2 is marked out by 16-inch alloy wheels, gloss black grille treatment, rear privacy glass, shark-fin antenna and a chrome exhaust trim, plus it benefits from the smart keyless entry. At the top of the range, the flagship GT Sport Nav trim features high-end features normally the preserve of more expensive sectors, including a reversing camera, leather seats and a colour head-up display, plus heated front seats and steering wheel.
The 2020 Mazda2 will arrive in UK dealerships in November.

Updated Mazda 2 priced from £16,475
The 2022 model year sees the introduction of new trim levels and improved efficiency across the range. As before, the Mazda2 range is powered exclusively by the 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine, and for the 2022 model year, the 115PS version has been reintroduced alongside the 75PS and 90PS outputs.
Starting with the £16,475 75ps SE-L, the seven-model 2022 Mazda2 range is topped with the new £20,845 115ps GT Sport Tech model. The 90PS engine is offered in SE-L and Sport trims, with Sport cars offered with manual and automatic transmission. The popular 90PS engine is also offered in GT Sport trim and the 2022 model year sees this trim also offered with a choice of transmission for the first time. The flagship 115PS GT Sport Tech is exclusively matched to the six-speed manual transmission, and with the exception of the entry-level 75ps SE-L, all manual versions of the 2022 Mazda2 feature Mazda’s M Hybrid mild-hybrid system and now wear the e-Skyactiv G badge.
All models in the range feature navigation, cruise control, integrated Bluetooth and air conditioning, while the 2022 Mazda2 also sees the introduction of wireless Apple CarPlay from Sport trim onwards. From GT Sport trim onwards, the 2022 Mazda2 gets a colour head-up display, reversing camera, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The new range-topping 115ps GT Sport Tech has a standard equipment tally that includes items not normally found as standard in this sector, including adaptive LED headlights, blind spot monitoring, rear smart city brake support and a 360 degree camera.
With a total of 12 colours to choose from across the range, the 2022 Mazda2 also sees the debut of Platinum Quartz Metallic. The updated Mazda2 will arrive in UK dealerships in October.
February 2022
Revised Mazda 2 priced from £16,575
The 2022 Mazda 2 sees the introduction of new trim levels and improved efficiency across the range. As before, the Mazda 2 range is powered exclusively by the 1.5-litre Skyactiv-G petrol engine, and for the 2022 model year, the 115PS version has been reintroduced alongside the 75PS and 90PS outputs.
Starting with the £16,575 75ps SE-L, the seven-model 2022 Mazda 2 range is topped with the new £20,945 115ps GT Sport Tech model. The 90ps engine is offered in SE-L and Sport trims, with Sport cars offered with manual and automatic transmission. The popular 90ps engine is also offered in GT Sport trim and the 2022 model year sees this trim also offered with a choice of transmission for the first time. The flagship 115ps GT Sport Tech is exclusively matched to the six-speed manual transmission, and with the exception of the entry-level 75ps SE-L, all manual versions of the 2022 Mazda2 feature Mazda’s M Hybrid mild-hybrid system and now wear the e-Skyactiv G badge.
Across all models the 1.5-litre petrol engine has been refined to offer considerable efficiency improvements. The compression ratio has increased from 13:1 to 15:1 with the exhaust upgraded from a 4-1 to a 4-2-1 manifold. As a result CO2 emissions have dropped by 11 to 14g/km depending on output and transmission. As an example the popular 90ps Sport manual has dropped from 120g/km to 107g/km, while across the range the corresponding improvements in economy further enhance the Mazda2’s excellent cost of ownership credentials.
All models in the range feature navigation, cruise control, integrated Bluetooth and climate controlled air conditioning, while the 2022 Mazda 2 also sees the introduction of wireless Apple CarPlay from Sport trim onwards. From GT Sport trim onwards, the 2022 Mazda 2 gets a colour head-up display, reversing camera, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The new range-topping 115ps GT Sport Tech has a standard equipment tally that includes items not normally found as standard in this sector, including Adaptive LED Headlights, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Smart City Brake Support and a 360 degree camera.
With a total of 12 colours to choose from across the range, the 2022 Mazda2 also sees the debut of Platinum Quartz Metallic.
