2014 Mazda 2 Sport 1.3 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Very good
Faults:
Oil leak, exhaust rattle, interior trim broken. All cheap and easy fixes.
General Comments:
Practical sporty looking small car, the Mazda 2 is a neat little run about.
"Sport" spec is in name only! This is not a fast car (0-60 mph in 12 secs) but will do over 40 mpg on fuel all day, excellent for petrol.
Very cheap to run, easy on tax, insurance, and service + repair.
Good fun to drive despite the lackluster performance - handling is very sharp, ride is OK, a bit noisy at higher speeds but nice and refined around town.
Good looking in bright red, I have the 5 door model.
A little cramped for rear passengers, otherwise upfront is surprisingly spacious for adults.
A decent little car I hope to have a long time despite being over a decade old now, but it has very low mileage and is in great shape.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
