Depends on your driving, if all you did was city driving cruise is kinda pointless. But yeah, simple to add on the sport anyway.

I had no clue the city mpg on 2's was that bad, good to know.

How do you like the car as a commuter so far? What kind of mileage are you getting?

That's a downfall of those CAI's no way I'd run one in my area with all the flooding we tend to get.

That's a bummer though man, hopefully your insurance will cover it.

If you end up getting another car, keep it and put a Fiesta ST motor in it when you have the time.

You don't want the 1.0, you want the turbo 1.6 with 197 hp.

You could also probably fit a Skyactiv in there too, and boost the mpg's big time.

Yeah sounds like you need to make a stink, comprehensive should cover it, of course they are going to try and avoid a payoff initially they always do.

I mean it sounds like you wrecked your car into a ditch full of water, which caused catastrophic engine damage. Why would this not be covered by comprehensive insurance?

Water damage is water damage, whether or not an idiot in a truck forced you into it.

Update!

Progressive has agreed to replace the motor. I don't get a new one, but one with fewer miles than I had (the one I'm getting will have 41k on it) plus a warranty. So okay. Job might be done in 2 weeks or so, which means I can stop driving this Compass rental I'm in right now and get back into my own nice car that is fun to drive and has good gas mileage.

Though, I might pick up a thousand dollar beater truck to get me through the winter, as it looks like things are going to be pretty wet and muddy this year.

Good to hear!

I keep racking my brain trying to figure out my next car here soon, and I always come back to the Mazda2. I can't find anything close to it in terms of fun/economy/dependability/price. Low mileage manuals are getting super cheap, seems like nobody wants them which is fine with me :)

Supposedly the Corksport short ram intake increases mpg by quite a bit, might wanna look into that.

Sounds like a vent tube, no biggie.
