Only the 5 door hatch will be available in the States for the start. 1.5l with a 5speed MT or AT good for mid 30's combined MPG. they havent settled on iStop yet which could yield another 8%mpg.
Which is better than I heard before when they said they weren't going to use it here. They are concerned that it doesnt add enough to be a real draw or conversely that people might expect too much and then be annoyed when it doesnt meet those illusions https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1258915261 https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1258915261 https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1258915261 |
I actually like it.....

Here's more on the iStop situation
Mazda's Davis told us that under the current test procedures used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, iStop would show a gain in city gas mileage would be no more than 0.1 or 0.2 miles per gallon. Talking to the EPA But Mazda's data shows that in heavily urban environments (think midtown Manhattan or Tokyo traffic), iStop can cut consumption as much as 8 percent. That could mean a boost of up to 3 miles per gallon, a far more compelling figure in the U.S. market. The company is currently talking to the EPA, Davis said, about additional types of testing under which the EPA might let Mazda show an efficiency increase for the iStop system if it were fitted to the 2011 Mazda2. A rough analogy, he suggested, might be upshift lights; the EPA tweaks the ratings to grant an additional 1 mpg to cars fitted with them. Would 3 mpg be worth $300? Mazda might market iStop as a mileage enhancing option, Davis said, in those markets with the worst traffic--perhaps the cities of the Northeast Corridor, and the suburban sprawl of southern California--at a price around $300. Buyers could do their own math. The sticking point right now, he said, is that under current regulations, any car must perform a complex series of diagnostic checks on itself every time the engine starts. That would be clearly impractical if the engine were starting and stopping once a minute or more. http://www.greencarreports.com/blog/...eles-auto-show |
I want a MazdaSpeed2 (j/k) ;)

Wow the body style is somewhat reminiscent of the Nissan Versa, which I don't seem to mind too much...The whole istop program seems, a bit questionable. It would all depends on your driving situation. If you're a heavy highway driver, it seems a bit wasteful, but if you're constantly in stop and go traffic with lights and inner city ramblings, it may be a consideration. I like the bright green, very spunky! :yesnod:

its pretty ok looking for sth that gets 30mpg
|
I was expecting better mpg. Doesn't the Euro version get a little diesel that does close to 50mpg?
