Hi,
After a 30 year love affair with Alfa Romeo , advancing years, and no small Alfas with four doors, I have joined the Mazda community, with a 2015 Mazda2 sport Black 11 . It's not so big, or so fast but it is a nice colour. I look forward to getting help with any problems that might arise, like having only one key fob.

I hope so. First reccommendation for a Mazda2 came from "HonestJohn". My local garage said dont buy a Mazda. My wife liked it as it's 300mm shorter than the Alfa and not so quick, so I got the Mazda. £60 less insurance and £10 less road tax, don't know about mpg yet. Sure I will get to love it.

Ahhh, I see you bought your Mazda2 as a used car; looks like you're going to need to lay down some cash and buy a new fob.

Welcome to the forum. I understand your disappointment with the need to move on from Alfa Romeo. I would feel the same way if Mazda stopped selling small cars and I had to move on to something else. I also understand your impression of the speed of your new Mazda. We have a 2016 Scion iA which is manufactured by Mazda and sold as the Mazda 2 in other parts of the world. Ours is the sedan version with a hideous Scion front end, but I digress. We love the Mazda 2. it is a little underpowered, however, the handling, quality of materials and level of equipment made it far superior to anything else we considered.
I suspect that you will find over time that the Mazda will be trouble free for many years. Most Mazdas need only routine maintenance for trouble free driving. I hope that you come to appreciate Mazda as you have Alfa.
As for the replacement cost of the key fob, while I have not shopped for one myself, the price seems way too high. I googled it and found a price 1/4 of what you were quoted. Mazda parts are not typically excessive.
Good luck and welcome to the forum and Mazda ownership.

Thanks for that, I'm sure you are right. I now have the steering wheel at the correct position, tyres the right pressure , The handling seems good, just have to get used to not having a 2L turbo diesel .
